Robert Reich predicted long ago that this will be the Democrat century. Once Trump loses, that will be exactly what will happen, for better or worse. Probably a president Sanders or president Warren will not get a lot of their core agenda done, but it should prove easier in the long run. And, yeah, there will be some violence and struggle among the hardline right wingers, but I don't think it will erupt into a full blown civil war. (Or, maybe that's just my hope.) If we have a depression, that will definitely be the best thing for the planet and perhaps a chance for a president Sanders or president Warren to shine. > From: Heather Howard <http://www.gmail.com/~hhoward40> > Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2019 11:07:27 -0700 > > I know, another doom and gloom recession article.
