Congratulations to Iggoz and Rn'R for keeping things real over there.
Thanks to their tireless efforts, the "MENSA" level of conversation at the New View has returned to its former glory.

Rn'R says "....the Dems are in trouble in 2018".

With few exceptions, presidents lose seats in a midterm election. Unpopular presidents can see massive swings in their party’s electoral fortunes. Bill Clinton in 1994 and George W. Bush in 2006 saw their parties lose majorities in both houses of Congress and Barack Obama saw the Democrats lose the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014. In each case, those presidents had higher approval ratings in the days before those wave elections than Mr. Trump has right now. Those realities have led the Cook Political Report’s Charlie Cook to say that 2018 is shaping up to be a wave election. Though approval ratings and reliable cycles of discontent are just a popular subset of indicators, a healthier sampling of the political environment only strengthens the claim.

Iggoz asked who would be a good Democratic presidential candidate?

Nobody answered........hmmmm.
