Let's saying Bernie ...

2. AND wins presidency, serves 2 complete terms

3. AND gets all his ideas passed:

v- expanded SSDI program for the disabled so they get bigger paychecks
w- expanded youth jobs programs
x- the deficit shrinks, the budget even balances with all the new revenue
y- unemployment remains low
z- there's no major foreign policy blunders

4. AND he leaves office in January 2025 with at least a 51%+ approval rating



Those are the 4 givens. It's a dream (and I'm supporting Hillary in the primaries) but let's say the dream comes true, for the purpose of this discussion. Then...






What does the Democratic Party run on afterwards?

Do they basically become conservatives, who only care about conserving the new domestic policy status quo, and maybe foreign policy?

[Blue3]

Massive numbers of Democrats shift to R, but Perot Independents and Gen. Y go to the Democrats. Generation Z is 53%+ R-leaning.

I could see a VP Cory Booker/Sen. Brian Schatz 2024 ticket. As far as the Republicans go, one of Sandoval or Baker or Gardner is probably their nominee.

Why would people who support Sanders switch to Republicans? Especially in this scenario where a majority approve of Sanders upon him leaving office in 2025.

Also, I'm not asking about candidates (and I have no idea where you got those candidates or numbers from either)... I'm asking about what happens to the Democratic Party? What becomes their policy platform? Which direction do they head in?
