People in the 1980s probably thought America would never have a black president.

With regards to the question at hand, I'd say it would be no doubt be a liberal Dem.

The problem is, who will it be? Also can this person win in this country's environment?

Problem is, Black people make up about 14% of the total population. LGBT people make up at most 2%. So the odds are way lower. Also, there's likely not going to be a presidency 60+ years down the line.

Historically, an inordinate amount of famous people have been LGB if they are 2% of the population. As views change, people will be more open to the idea, so even this inordinate amount would increase.

To be clear: I am not saying you are right. I am simply saying if you are right.
