However, a word of caution, I never saw how anyone could find Reagan, GWB, and of course, Trump remotely acceptable as President. Romney and McCain seemed more reasonable for Republicans thus more of a treat to us. As you can see my ability to predict would be way better if I gave a candidate more credit for being unacceptable or unthinkable to me!
