My other point is that ALL presidents are novices when they assume office.

Best case scenario is that the worst candidates win and the results wake Americans up.

(13,685 posts)But by 2020, after the republicans have controlled the wh as well as congress for 4 years, we will be.
I'll probably be dead by then, so you can just pave over me and stand on my grave as a last resort. The country is going over the cliff. We've handed the keys back to the republicans. Kids! Buckle up!!

(10,650 posts)The Democrats need to differentiate themselves from the republicans. Being republican lite has run the party into the ditch.
The only way to differentiate ourselves is to FIGHT for what we believe in instead of rolling over. We have been the 98 pound weakling to the republican bully for too long and it has hurt us with the voters.
