A Republican Jimmy Carter and Democratic Reagan

[Person Man]

The question really is whether there will be any surprises between now and the next couple of decades. This is the first time since almost the beginning that we have had 3 presidents in a row get elected and reelected and finish their terms.

I wonder what major events and policies would make this happen.

I am guessing that Christie more or less keeps everything in place and maybe there is a trend towards enforcing Dodd-Frank by 2018 or 2019 and maybe some policy in Syria or Iran backfires in late 2019 and by 2020, there is another market meltdown.  Perhaps President Warren repeals even more tax cuts for the wealthy, makes it much easier to form a union and nationalizes the non-profit health care option into a truly national health insurance option and by the lame duck congress of January 2023, manages to push through a measure to defund the Federal marijuana ban.
