Kamala better look out for Hickenlooper. He’s a sneaky-good retail politician, and cagey at presenting as moderate. There are no front runners yet, though.
Looking at presidents since Republicans broke through in 1952 with Ike, the parties have traded 8 years of rule with only two exceptions. Reagan and GHWB strung three terms together and Carter was so miserable no one could stand to put him through another.
This nation charts a central course by tacking left and right in a very noticeable pattern. It usually changes the presidency in an 8 year cycle, and it usually handcuffs every president at some point by electing a majority of congress critters from the party not holding the presidency.
The last peak of Democratic power was during LBJ. Dems held the Presidency and a supermajority of congress, including 68 Senators. Will Trump mark the peak of Republican power for this cycle?
I saw some thread suggesting Kasich and Hickenlooper would team up. A RINO/DemonRat dream team.
I bet they couldn’t win Ohio.
