The election is starting to have 2004 flashbacks for sure. An unpopular Republican unfathomable to Democrats, but the Democrat frontrunner is lukewarm and uninspiring.
That's a good point. I mean Democrats hated Bush so much that Michael Moore released a scathing anti-Bush theatrical documentary in the election year, but Dubya still won. Dubya still had about a 10-point higher approval rating than Trump at the same point in his first term though.
If Bush can needlessly send thousands of US soldiers to their deaths and kill hundreds of thousands of Iraqis all based on lies and get re-elected, then Trump can get re-elected.
