Any result that isn't overwhelming is a defeat for both sides. The cross-party animosity is too brutal to allow anything more than stalemate unless one party or the other dominates in 2020. I don't see the GOPpers pulling that off again, but I can't feel fully confident that the Dems can either.
On another topic, we have Peter Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend Indiana. This guy is the real deal, but he's only 37 and starting from a mayor's slot is long pull to the Presidency. On the plus side, he's whip smart: Harvard grad and Rhodes Scholar, Afghanistan veteran, speaks several languages, thinks on his feet and is courageous. He's also gay, so he's a nearly perfect Millennial. He has the best defense of the Green New Deal I've ever heard … period.
