I know things are going to be grim for Democrats in two years' time, but I suspect Republican prospects are going to be grimmer than they are now. The inertia of economic recovery will have worn off by then. If the Rethugs succeed in killing the ACA and Medicare, I suspect that a lot of the Magoos that turned out for Donnie will be willing to turn out for Rick Scott. It might be like fighting Putin's party in Russia, but I think Democratic chances will be better.
