Have you noticed how much Fox News and Trump base talks about the Clintons?
They're still talking about her emails and benghazi They probably do believe that she's going to run again In a twist of irony, maybe Clinton bought into that hype. Or she's reverse trolling them. //

I don't think they care whether Clinton will run again. She's just a convenient rallying point for faux outrage. "Lock her up!" still reverberates at Trump rallies, though now she has cellmates like FL gov candidate Andrew Gillum and George Soros. Both gentlemen were the targets of "Lock him up!" chants at recent Trump events.

It's Nothing but my opinion, he is much more more sympathic and can work a crowd better than most others corporate dem (while still being one) but is very likely to crash his campaing by doing or saying Something incredibely stupid like before. If he run, got the nomination and his staff can keep him for sinking his run he could win.

Trump was saying a lot of crap that went no where. When Hilary said "deplorable" it resonated and energized the conservative voting base. So yeah..... Also, Biden has this groping problem that I'm sure will be highlighted when he runs in these days of #metoo movement.

the sad truth of the republican party today, regardless of whether the democrats win the house or not.

And with the Senate, the Democrats were at a disadvantage, with at least 10 Democrat seats up for reelection in red states. That's why the dems were not expected to win the senate. it would have taken nothing less than a miracle for the democrats to take the senate.
Furthermore, the Republicans had gerrymandered the hell out of their states' voting districts, and passed dozens of BS voter laws to ensure they had the advantage. if anything, democrats did well in spite of all the disadvantages they had. i guess sadly, a blue wave was just too optimistic. with democrats taking the governor and legislature seats in some of those gerrymandered states, it should help with the 2020 election.

Still, I'm disappointed that voters didn't push Beto O'Rourke and Andrew Gillum across the finish line though. Seriously, I don't know how people can proudly vote for flat and boring politicians like Ted Cruz and Ron DeSantis (who also spouted a racist remark early on). I wonder if people have forgotten the need for genuine and more human people who represent the state and who respond to their needs in the best way possible.

If I am Beto O'Rourke, I would throw my name into a hat and go for 2020. Even if he doesn't win the nomination, the race would definitely get spicier with him going for the DNC ticket. He has such a natural ability as a speaker.

as long as they feel that he is responding to their needs, and that his decisions dont negatively affect them directly, they won't give a damn what he says or does. ironically in ohio, opposite to florida, the republican candidate for governor won by distancing himself away from trump, unlike desantis who made himself a trump clone.
