The problem with counterfactuals like no 22nd Amendment or 22nd limits the President to three terms, (which is what FDR served, despite winning four elections) is to be found in the chain of causality.
Eisenhower would have been reelected in 1960 (assuming he choose to run again), which would have thrown everything subsequent akimbo.
Assuming Eisenhower runs in ’60, I figure Kennedy elected in 64 on a get tough on the commies in South East Asia platform.
Nixon in 68 after Kennedy declines to run for reelection.
Ford followed by Carter.
Reagan would have won a third term in ’88.
Bush beats Clinton in ’92 (no Perot, no reason for him).
What happens in ’96 is anybody’s guess, since I figure wobblies gotta wobble.
All else the same except for the 22nd Amendment though, I expect Clinton would have been reelected in 2000 (which of course would have changed the dynamic of ’08).
But yeah, in a vacuum, Obama would probably win next year.
Because the media schills are that in the tank, and the American people are that gullible.
I don’t agree, Ernst. I look at the red tide in the statehouses and I don’t see gullibility. I see an LIV bloc that could only make the difference in an Obama year — not even a generic presidential year.
That’s why I was sure the Dems would work hard to get another “make history” nominee that could excite voters in whatever identity group he/she represents. But even I didn’t anticipate that there would be only one voting bloc left the Dems can count on — and that only with a black nominee.
Their only hope in 2016 is for Hillary to pull a Dolezal.
Another of those “facts” he deigns to stand. Like how PPACA is beloved by all except ten people on Twitter.
Why talk about something that can’t happen?
He’s saying what he thinks everybody in America should be saying if we weren’t all raaaaacists.
“How can this be happening when it’s so obvious everybody loooooves me? Must be raaaaacism.”
Beware the declared National Emergency!
Personally, I’m expecting Obama to be stabbed in the head, survive, and end up ruling the world.
OK, I read that in a book (Revelation), but it could happen…
Not him, Lee. More likely ValJar.

That may be their only hope, but I bet their money is going to Jeb and Trump
–surrogates, naturally.
I wish some of that red tide in the state houses would cause certain members of the House and Senate to sicken and die.
–Metaphorically speaking.
The depth of this ass-clown’s narcissism is unfathomable.
If he’s not careful he’ll fall in.
And he farts Chanel No.5.
Reggie Love, Kai Penn, and Jon ‘Stewart’ Leibowitz would know, TW, IYKWIMAITYD.
