Hopefully these up and coming new democrats will be up to the task....and it would be nice if at some point the GOP can get back to what it's supposed to be.
Bernie is my number 1 pick too - and there are others following in his footsteps now. As far as beating Trump - that may not even be necessary because I'm still not convinced he's going to make it till the end of his term. I guess if nothing else, Trump has at least caused people to become move politically aware and active - as evident by the huge voter turnout.....and you see what happens when more people vote :)
