Yeah, if he wins by a wide margin, and with lots of enthusiastic support.
I'm curious to see how he plays in the rust belt which is really all that matters. He may do well given he's from there and identifies with them. But are the not very socially liberal blue collar democrats who voted for Trump going to be able to identify with a gay, Rhodes Scholar, Harvard graduate? They are a tough demo to figure out, so who knows. But if he's not strong in those states in the primaries, he's going to be in trouble in the general election.
