Everybody saying this candidate energizes the base and that one doesn't, but....do you guys really think the Democratic base would sit out the election regardless of the nominee and allow Trump 4 more years?
I think Trump energizes the Dem base more than any of the candidates that oppose him do.
Precisely! Everyone always overstates the importance of the individual names at the top of the tickets. What will matter in 2020 isn't Trump vs. Warren or Trump vs. Harris....it's Republican vs. Democrat.
This obviously might not hold true if some out-of-the-mainstream name were nominated (Gabbard, for instance, or maybe Sanders), but for the most part, party is vastly more important than individual.
