Setting the Bar Low

John Hinderaker, senior blogger at Power Line, meditates on the outcome of the 2016 presidetial election. His conclusion will, I believe, interest you:
So Trump is our president and he should exercise his powers vigorously. But Republicans also should understand that their victory owed at least as much to their opponent’s weakness as to their champion’s appeal.

The good news is that the Democrats don’t obviously have anyone much better than Hillary on the horizon for 2020.
I stand by my prediction that, give Hillary's loss, the Democrats will nominate a person of color as their 2020 presidential candidate. Whether that idividual can reanimate the Obama coalition is far from certain, but perhaps it is the Dems only chance for a win.
