You are absolutely right. Five times since the end of world war ii a party has had the white house for two consecutive terms. President reagans Approval Ratings back in 1988 were very good. Democrats in their infinite wisdom nominated michael dukakis, and the rest is history. For 2016, there are couple of things we dont know. History argues that republicans ought to win the presidency in 2016. But the big question is, will they have repaired their brand . Will they have repaired some their problems with minority voters, young voters, women voters, selfdescribed moderate voters . I would argue that some of those groups just basically stayed home.

Two democrats, two republicans, california, louisiana, washington state. They tested 21. So there is some movement out there even in the state democratic districts or are some republicans we have to cater to.
