Dems would nominate one of those crazy purebreds that people only ever see in online videos but makes a cute bark, Republicans would nominate a German Shepherd named Reagan trained to go for the throat of anyone with a press pass.

Reagan would serve two terms and retire with 70%+ approval ratings.

the democrats would nominate a horribly inbred show winner and it would die before getting the chance to lose to anyone

How inbred is Doug the Pug? Because if the answer is "extremely" then he's definitely the dem nominee

Bonus he has lots of body doubles so you can easily deal when he inevitably collapses in public :abuela:

Kasich will lose no matter what even if trump literally says vote for kasich not me and then blow him on live tv

but if the economy goes really badly by late 2019 I could see him winning NH and getting 25-30% (buchanan 1992 level) vs TRUMP

yes this is a ridiculous liberal fantasy, GOP voters don't give a poo poo what the media thinks. even Fox wasn't on the trump train until well after he'd won despite trump essentially being a product of fox brainwashing and that never mattered

Kasich is just continuing to play the long game. He's banking that, just like at the end of the Dubya years, the GOP will be desperate for a new leader not tainted by the previous administration, and an unsuccessful primary bid lets him fundraise like a madman ahead of his inevitable 2028 run.

if Kasich "only" loses the primary 75%-25% or so that's actually really, really bad for TRUMP

the three times serious primary challengers happened to incumbent presidents have all saw the other party win the general

kasich running would probably actually be good because that would let the 2% or whatever pathetic fraction of voters who are Moderate Republicans who want to protest-vote from protest voting by voting in the dem primary for bloomberg in the republican primary and voting for kasich

he's going to do something really dumb and focus on a nice big technocratic figurative wall and make a big deal about how his plan is automation and drones and more surveillance instead of just a dumb old trump wall that just sits there being all static and also say JOBS a bunch

At the end of the State of the Union, Bernie will hold a press conference in the Chamber officially announcing his candidacy. Effectively usurping the inane chattering that some succ dem will do in response to the Trump's vacuous SotU speech.
