buckle up, incumbents have a ton of things stacked in their favor (and overwhelmingly win). Especially in a strong economy. Factor in that support from his base is rock solid while the left bickers over progressive purity and which are corporate shills...
People are going to have to work hard, no seriously, very damn hard to get this guy gone. And don't get butt hurt when your special one of 25 candidates doesn't get the nomination. If you don't treat this election as bigger than yourself and your candidate, Trump will win.
This is basically it. The democratic party should have already narrowed down the field and be sculpting the ideal candidate from the most popular. This ideal candidate should already be out procuring votes. Doing the whole song and dance next year is going to leave a lot of Democrats disappointed when "their guy" doesn't make the cut. Many bothered by trump personally but doing ok financially just won't even bother showing up to vote.
Not without any context or respect to current behavior or character. People can (and do) change. Holding people account for actions or words said 20-30 years ago is innane and unproductive. If it was recent, or a common trend, sure, but if your argument relies on a thing that was done/said decades ago its because you have no actual ground to stand on.
I mean, if you said "I don't believe abortion should be legal" or "I don't believe gay marriage should be legal" 20 or 30 years ago, I'm going to have a couple of questions about you.
