No light at the end of this tunnel
Can the Demos get back enough power in the Congress to put the stymie on any of the fools listed?

I will take an outspoken Republican president any day over a secretive Democratic president.
Remember, your alternative was Crooked Hilary.
I think Trump is fabulous, absolutely fabulous.
So far.

Drumpf needs to be there for the next 3 years. No bible-thumping pence, no spineless, flip flopping ryan, either. The whole administration needs to crash and burn. Scott "oil shill" Pruitt, Ryan "lead shot" Zinke, and that boot-licker Scott Gottlieb of the FDA need to be tarred and feathered and chased out of the swamp. Fuk impeachment. A slow death is what is required of this administration, especially after their foul tax overhaul bill gets rammed through the Senate.

I figured shortly after Flynn was fired Ryan would be president at some point.
Ayne Rand was mandatory reading for Ryan's interns until he got called out on it. He's just Another d#@&%e that considers disadvantaged people as fodder.

It would be insanity to run EW as a presidential candidate. Trump proved feminists are a minority in America, running Hillary was foolish, not only because of the decades of slander she's endured from the right, but because she's a woman. Especially right after the first black president. Feminists can't get greedy and jump the gun, or they'll shoot themselves in the foot. Again.
Don't forget that Hillary won the popular vote.
The problem was both the DNC's and Hillary's arrogance by not taking Trump's candidacy seriously.
The campaign's efforts and financial resources should have been directed towards Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin (where she lost by a combined 100K roughly)- all states Obama won handily in 2012 - as well as Florida.

Go younger. Don't go with any senior democratic party member. They're incapable of change and only appeal to old partisans. That anyone would even suggest Biden or Sanders is laughable.
How about Gavin Newsome?

Trump should stay, seriously, seriously damaged.
There is no scenario where a Repug will not be the President until the next election.
There are only two issues: Supreme Court, and war.
If the Senate is flipped, I think the SC can be blocked from packing.
The military, with support from Congress, can forestall war, maybe.
ANY other Repug will be more effective than Trump, and will likely have an even longer term effect than him. So far, basically nothing he has done is not reversible---except court appointments.

it's going to be Ryan, probably should get used to the idea. And Mueller doesn't want Flynn to testify against trump (though he'll eventually get to that). No, he wants Flynn to testify against kushner and Donald Jr. because what Mueller really, really wants is Kushner and / or Donald Jr. testifying against trump. I'd say at this point Pence, Kushner and Donald Jr. are in the bag so it's rapidly going to come down to either trump firing Mueller with all hell breaking loose or simply resigning rather than see his son forced to provide testimony against him. Kushner he'd throw under the nearest bus, but Donald Jr. is another matter I suspect. Mueller's been working the family member angle pretty well to date and I expect that's not going to change.
Bottom line is Mueller is like a venomous reptile that, when it bites you on the leg, the only way to remove it is to cut its head off and even then it's still going to be chomping down on you for a spell and poison the sh#t out of you no matter what else you do.

crankster:
Dem's might nominate a woman again if sexual misconduct by men stays in the news. You are not ambitious enough.
D.M.: "Reject this sort of safe bet bullshit and those who espouse it."
To ensure Republicans defeat, Democrats need to find a gay man or a transgendered woman.
Nominating straight woman is a lame strategy of yesterday.
It never worked for Democrats at president's elections.
They were not progressive enough last time.

Flynn has already given what needs be given, though it would be best if he could to stay not dead for a while. That was why house arrest was a smart tactic. But Mueller is no fool, and if they are going to let Flynn get out and about, you can be sure they have what they need.
He is/was a means to an end, and that end is purported to be something we all - R, D AND I - are going to find traumatizing. I know that it is "fun" to rubberneck and gloat on this, but at the bottom of it all, it is said that our country will be rocked to it's core. How we move ahead after is up for grabs. We are, from what I am reading, truly at a massive pivot in history, and it AIN'T just because Trump is a giant piece of doody.

Trump will not go to jail unless a state files charges against him.
There is an internal FBI policy preventing the prosecution of a sitting president. Mueller is obliged to follow this.

Sanders almost won the Dem nomination for president in '16. To suggest he's not a Democrat-in-kind shows an almost incomprehensible ignorance of politics.
To suggest we need "someone young" as if youth is some guarantee of anything is another naive assumption. Kamala Harris is relatively young. She's doing the insider things (read: partisan) necessary to make a run. She's working within the party, not trying to tear it down.
"Stop the winner take all stuff!" Uh huh. And let's end hunger, cure cancer and all ride off on our unicorns to a non-partisan Fantasyland.
On this planet, in this country, Sanders and Biden are the early front runners. Yeah, it's early but those are the facts. Neither are my choice.
