There is a possibility of another economic downturn before the next election. That's the ace in the hole that catapulted Obama, and I think something similar would need to take place for a long shot to win again. Sanders doesn't have the personal appeal of Obama, however, so I'm not sure that it's a great parallel. We have, however, seen six years of robust stock market growth, and sustained home price increases (without any concomitant increase in wages), so we're ripe for a correction. If it's bad people will want to reject the status quo.
