"Trudeau" is still a dirty word for a hell of a lot of people, including people who were far too young to have ever voted for him.

All my life I've heard people in my family badmouthing Trudeau and I'm sure I'm not alone. Justin Trudeau will have a tough time overcoming all the negativity associated with his name.

On the other hand, many of those same people won't vote Liberal no matter who the leader of the party is, so it might not matter.
