Jeb Bush? Another member of the Bush family? He would have been a heck of a lot better than Trump. Maybe as good as George Bush I, but at worst no worse than George Bush II, I think.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Bernie Sanders is the stronger candidate - YouTube - the full AOC interview. She expects BS to do well in the northern Midwest, the Rust Belt states. She ducked the question of why young people didn't turn out very much, turning to how many delegates California got. She also said that BS does not pursue big money, and that many of the winners in 2018 didn't do so either - even the more conservative ones. She wants to avoid a brokered convention, because she is concerned about how divisive it may be. This can be done by some candidate getting a majority of pledged delegates, soemthing that will avoid the superdelegates going into action.
Getting more voters was a strategy that worked for AOC in her primary election, but it hasn't been very successful for young voters, what BS hoped. But overall, it is a good one. An important part, I think, is to give people a reason to come out and vote, a positive reason instead of how horrible the other candidate is. Hillary Clinton was rather lacking in that, while Trump had plenty of that. A very ugly leadership vision, it must be conceded, but a vision nevertheless. AOC also offered a leadership vision, but IMO a very positive one, a sort of very kindly social democracy.
