2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe next President of the United States will be on the stage tonight
We, Democrats, will get to decide who it will be.
Bernie
Hillary
O'Malley
Any of them will win the national election. The other side really doesn't matter.
Kasich and Rubio are the only chance they have to make the third straight landslide in a row a little less painful.
The keys are:
1. The Obama database - 30-40% of the battle alone
2. The established campaign infrastructure core - this started really in 2004 and has grown from there
3. Demographics
4. The national election (Electoral College) is a strange un-gerrymandering that reflects public opinion
Best of luck to everyone tonight.

(14,449 posts)3 in a row is tough. It can be done but I wouldn't put it passed the DNC to screw it up.
