...and Clinton and Sanders wouldn't run away from the incumbent President.

At least Clinton wouldn't.

Gore won Florida in 00. And there is very strong evidence Kerry won Ohio.

Remember, Bush was "selected" by right wingers on SCOTUS, he wasn't elected. He actually lost the Florida vote.

But let's go back to the future. The repugs loudly promised an autopsy after 2012 because of their poor showing with Latino American voters.

Well, they've made it even worse since then as Trump is even campaigning about making Mexico pay for a wall on the border.

They aren't getting the black, progressive white, Asian American, gay, nor a good portion of women voters either.

The country is browning as we speak and we outnumber them even more now than in 2000.

More than half of babies born now are POC so the future doesn't bode well for them either if they don't do something about their racist, anti-immigrant, anti-women and anti-gay image.

I'm not worried. Bernie or Hillary will beat them just as Obama did.

voting machines nor the scanners!

Yes, I am worried, especially if HRC is the nominee.
Too much hatred on the other side, which is enough
reason to cheat.
