Will the Democrats get their act together?

TIME seems to fly in President Donald Trump's Washington. So unless you are a political junkie, you may be surprised to learn that the first poll in the Democratic presidential primaries, the Iowa Caucuses, will take place two months from now.

And in case you have forgotten, the American presidential election will occur in less than a year. Which means, that by this time next year we should know whether Mr Trump was re-elected to office or not.

Placing your bet today on Mr Trump's defeat next November makes some sense since there is a 50-50 chance for that to happen.
