I find a lot of parallels between 2020 and 1972. If the Dems follow a similar path as they did in 72 then yes, it will be a landslide. But there’s one major difference. Back in 72 the press and Dem leaders often privately admitted that any Dem candidate was going to be a long shot. They have yet to admit that now. It may be the case that the Dems are in worse trouble than we can possibly know.
Back in 1972, even those who knew that Nixon was a lying (insert disgusting expletive here) also knew (thought) that he was the best anti-communist we had. The soviet threat outweighed everything else. We thought Nixon would stand up to them.
Instead he surrendered Indochina and normalized relations with Chinese communists.
It took Ronald Reagan to win the cold war with Russia. China is still a threat but the situation is NOTHING like it was then! Or perhaps I should say that voters don’t believe that our situation is anywhere near as dire.
Any candidate of any party who promises them free health care, will get their vote, as long as he convinces them that he can actually deliver. Bernie cannot possibly convince them, but another Obama type could.
I anticipate that Trump will be reelected, but along with a congress committed to medicare for all. Stay tuned.
