The Democrats' presidential aspirants seem determined to prove that their party's 2016 achievement - the election of the current president - was not a fluke that cannot be repeated.
The Republican party, whose last remaining raison d'être is to frustrate Democrats, seems to be thinking: We are determined to lose the 2020 election in order to foil Democrats' attempts to lose it.
Among the reasons these aspirants give for promising to abolish the Electoral College is one reason that virtually guarantees that it will not be abolished: Because each state gets two electoral votes for its senators, the system advantages the least populous states.
"I wore my Planned Parenthood pink!" exclaimed Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar at a recent Washington cattle call for Democratic candidates.
The Financial Times notes that in 2018, exit polls showed that a plurality of voters - 41 percent - ranked health care as their foremost concern.
Voters might wonder why the coming health plan's greatness will not be unveiled as an election asset.
Its nominees, George McGovern and Walter Mondale won 25 percent and 38 percent, respectively, of the nominating electorate's votes.
