Quote:I think having a lack of potential candidates is really going to hurt the democratic party for the foreseeable future. Which makes me feel we have an even higher chance of a Michelle Obama presidential run coming to us.


I will say that I did not vote for Trump or Hillary but if I would have voted for either it would have been Trump. One main reason being I like his VP candidate, a lot. I think that Pence was a great choice by Trump and depending on how these next four years go I could see Pence running himself.


Both parties have work to do and changes to make come 2020. This election showed us that and it will be interesting to see if either or both parties changes their game plan moving forward.


While I agree the Comey reopening of the investigation did not help her, it was over quickly and the result was in her favor. It might have hurt her in a few absentee ballots but I doubt it was many. By that day I would think the overwhelming majority had made up their mind about Hillary and her off the field issues. I sincerely doubt that changed many votes.


The blue side certainly has a lot to look at. They will look long and hard at why they lost states that they should have one. Some where it shouldn't have been close and it was. They have many things to dig into but I don't think the solution is that hard to find. People don't trust Hillary and she isn't a likable candidate. She was just about the worst possible choice to run for president. However, as you noted, their cupboard is pretty bare down ticket. Who else was going to run? They obviously didn't want Bernie so who else?
