With President Trump set to veto everything they do, the Democrats’ path to the White House in 2028 is lined with gold. All they have to do is pass a zillion populist measures, maybe even Medicare for All, and then argue that the Republicans — as evidenced by Trumpian vetoes — are against them.
Voila! “Here comes Santa Claus, Here Comes Santa Claus, Right down Trumpy House Lane.” Can you imagine the inauguration? They’ll celebrate in the Trump Ballroom!
The main caveat for the Fiends is if they go overboard on the investigations and impeachments and skimp on passing legislation for Trump to veto. Otherwise, the Dems should be in great shape.
A secondary, and corollary, caveat is if the Centrists (that’s an oxymoron for the Dem Party) and the Leftists get bogged down in intraparty feuding and get little done.
However, I see success even if they do prove to be unfit for governing.
I also see AOC as the head of the 2028 ticket, with either Mamdani or El-Sayed as her running mate.
