    Great discussion. A key aspect will be if the Democrats take a significant page out of the MAGA playbook in terms of “messenger”. That is, someone who is brash, bold, unwavering and nasty. Like it or not (and most do not), it worked for the Republicans. In 2015, they paraded a bunch of “normal” professional candidates (politicians, business leaders and even a doctor) to the primaries and look who won. Perhaps it’s because Clinton, Biden and Harris were “flawed” but more likely is that we now want bold and brash. So that means a Democratic candidate who takes the gloves off and is ‘extreme’ in the other direction. I hope I’m wrong but watch for this over the next 2 years. Anyone “normal” won’t be compelling enough.
