Health care is put on the back shelf:

Trumpcare won't come unless for some reason he is re-elected -- no way he is getting it done in 4 years. I look at his re-election prospects are basically dependent on the Democratic Party's ability to nominate a real progressive. If they nominate some neo-liberal shill in a suite with a D next to his/her name then Trump can win again.

Need to be careful with this. You and I might be progressive but America is NOT, and particularly non-progressive midwestern and swing states wield a disproportionate amount of power due to a flaw in our constitution and party machinery. If Democrats end up with a candidate saying too much about abolishing borders, taking refugees, being too soft on Muslims, focusing too much on transsexuals, women, etc, they are going to lose again. Maybe even someone with the balls to campaign for single payer healthcare reform now that the majority of Americans want it.

People are anxious about their standard of living decreasing and the Democrat nominee has to be able to feed on that first and foremost. Which might be a problem because whenever a Republican (or a neo-liberal like Bill Clinton) gets into office and takes all the control rods out of the reactor it gets very hot very fast and doesn't melt down until years later.

But more important than all of that, it needs to be someone likable for fucks sake.

It's also possible they try Trumpcare again after the midterms if Republicans gain seats.

Don't be such a pessimist. Look at all the successful trannies in todays world. I used the bathroom in public today. It could be worse. My "blood" "relatives" are incredibly insensitive, insane, and poor, and retarded, if it wasn't Trump and Faggon (Bannon spelled with an F) it'd be someone or something else. Jesus needs to return to earth, and walk among us. We can only do that if we pray and work hard enough at being true and honorable Christians full of integrity and truthfulness before the eyes of God.
