I think Democrats can win the election if a Recession occurs or they pick the right candidate, such as Bernie Sanders (I believe he can win, even though I disagree mostly with his ideas). If they continue the Identity politics and going more radically to the left, I don't think they can win. Especially with a President which is doing good with the economy and keeping most of his promises. A lot of people who follow economics (like business insiders) are predicting a recession for this year or next.

I don't think Bernie has it to defeat Trump, honestly I don't think anyone above the age of 60 has the chances - a lot of people want younger faces, and Warren, Biden, and Sanders despite some good ideas just aren't it. I go on about Buttigieg a lot, but I've seen Republicans who voted for Trump sau they would vote for him, he kind of pulls people across both partylines, he's really energizing. I could also see Booker, and maybe Harris. Klobuchar has no chance, Gillibrand maybe, Beto - he couldn't be Cruz.

But, what I also find interesting is how many people will primary  Trump in the GOP side - so far you have Bill Weld (Libertarian leaning Governor of Massachusetts during the 90s). Didn't Flake say he was thinking about it? Wasn't that his whole reason for not running in '18? Supposedly Corker, Hogan, and Kasich have all expressed interest, if all of them run (unlikely), then the GOP primaries for 2020 would get very interesting. What do you think? (Also, do you think we should continue the discussion elsewhere, or create a separate thread?)
