My predictions for 2019 & 2020.
#1
My predictions for 2019 & 2020.
Nothing earth-shattering, except, perhaps, the last one, at least for the die-hard Trump supporters:

1)  The Democrats will retake the House here in just 2 short days, which will, of course, be official come January 1 or 2 (or, whatever).

2)  Trump will be impeached around April 2019.

3)  He will be tried and acquitted by the Senate 6 months later.

4)  Late in 2019, Hillary Clinton will declare her candidacy for US President.

5)  Clinton will win her Party's nomination, as will Trump, the latter having fought-off some challengers in a nasty fight.

6)  Trump will continue to refer to Clinton as being "crooked Hillary", but the US and World economy will tank.

7)  Clinton will campaign extensively in the Upper Midwest and Rust Belt, but will refuse to appear on SNL.

8)  In January 2021, Hillary Clinton will be sworn-in as the 46th President of the United States.

Showing my ignorance of U.S. history here, but has a candidate who has lost one election ever ran again or ever won on a separate occasion?

John Q. Adams lost in 1820 and won in 1824.

William Henry Harrison, lost in 1836, won in 1840.

Grover Cleveland, won 1884, lost 1888, won 1892.

Nixon lost in 1960 and won in 1968.

Sure. Hillary lost twice. Trump got primaried out in 2012, IIRC. Didn't Nixon also lose before winning?

Running Hillary again would be monumentally stupid.

William Henry Harrison, Richard Nixon, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and Grover Cleveland.

Nixon vs Kennedy in 1960. Nixon won in 1968 and 1972. He ended up resigning in disgrace 1974.

Um no, I really do not want her running again. I voted for Bernie in the primaries and Hillary in the general. If she were to run again, and win the nomination, it would end up in 8 years of the orange turd. 

Hillary WOULD make great president, but she doesn't translate well like Obama or JFK or even Reagan. 

And as far as impeaching the fuckface turd. If Mueller has enough dirt on even just Jr, it may be enough for the orange turd to step down and claim health problems. 

No, what we need in 19 is everyone voting, regardless of off year. What we need in 2020 is a fresh face as our nominee. I think with the right Nominee and VP pick who can appeal to not only the left, but the swing states, with all the independent voters now being turned off by Trump, we can win. 

I wish what you are predicting could happen, but I don't see that as realistic at all.

Lincoln and Nixon did it. I'm pretty sure there have been others, but those are off the top of my head.
