Tom Belton reminded me that the voters in 2016 will not be voting out of gratitude. The fact that the Democrats brought them Social Security, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, the Civil Rights Act, etc., will not be decisive. The Democrats have opposed--to some extent--racism, gender bias, climate change, homophobia and anti-Semitism, but that will not be decisive. Gratitude wears thin faster than a cheap t-shirt. What will matter are the plans the two parties put forward to improve things in the future. What will the parties offer? What ideas?
Of course the Democrats could get lucky. The Republicans might nominate another unbearable hairy head. But what voters want is a plan to move this country in concrete ways to a better future.
