Let's anoint someone.

Tell me about Kamala Harris. I'm out of touch with CA politics these days, but it seems like people have been talking about her. I mainly know her only from the Supreme Court buzz.

Who else will be a compelling party leader in 2020?

Liz Warren? She'll be 71 by then, but that's only a couple years older than Hillary is. She certainly seems like the person most capable of uniting the party as it stands right now.

or Bill Maher.

It's got to be some blowhard that we are at least somewhat embarrassed by.

But for real, the less political experience the better. The longer you've been in government, the more the opponent can point to what you did or didn't do. That's always bad.

As long as you can fall back on what you would have done, you will always have a winning position.
With that said, the DNC will probably push someone like Chuck Schumer

Apparently there's little correlation between experience and skill in being president.

As bad of a candidate as Hillary was, there's no really knock in her resume, to me at least. But like the article mentions, very little of being president connects to political credibility.

I love him. But unfortunately he is a disgraced Obama guy

Obamacare is the obvious example. Are they really gonna take away 20 million people's health insurance? Are they really gonna let insurers discriminate on pre-existing conditions again? Are they really gonna go back from a system where 25% premium increases are an election year scandal, to the old system where 50% increases were routine?

"Obamacare" is unpopular, but all the elements that make it up are hugely popular (the above), or necessary for holding it together (the mandate).

So now the Republicans need to contend with that. I'll be watching with popcorn.

they've trained their minions to believe the current healthcare situation is "socialism" and "killing the middle class".

is to just shuffle around the pieces on health care, leave us with a system that's functionally equivalent to Obamacare, but call it something new, and then take credit for it.

Since their supporters haven't been paying any attention to the actual plan they're opposing, I fear that might work.

Then *our* best option, I think, is that whenever premiums rise by 25% (even though they normally rose by more than that pre-Obamacare), we go apeshit crazy blaming "Trumpcare", and take it as an opportunity to argue for the public option.

>Obamacare is the obvious example. Are they really gonna take
>away 20 million people's health insurance?

Yes they will. Even though they lost the popular vote AND polling of people who did vote for Trump shows people don't want to lose their healthcare.

> Are they really
>gonna let insurers discriminate on pre-existing conditions
>again?
Yes.


>Are they really gonna go back from a system where 25%
>premium increases are an election year scandal, to the old
>system where 50% increases were routine?
Yes.

AND they'll have lower cost options that provide little value, and those options will quickly balloon to cost as much or more as Obamacare options while providing much less benefits.

Remember their actual real idea is this : When you get sick use the money you saved up to pay for it. When you are out of money then ask your church or family for help. Then let the market decide.

I AM NOT shitting you.

Indeed, with Republicans the Party of Reagan stuff was always more about image than reality. He raised taxes on net, tripled the national debt, and increased regulation, especially financial regulation.

With Obama, he serviced Big Banks, Big Insurance, Big Arms Dealers, and instigated many conflicts that continue to cause death. Of course he will be the perfect Reagan corollary. He will be known for helping the little person and bringing peace. Just like the Reagan myth, both parties will eat that shit up.
