Nah man. 2020 is gonna be different from 2016. Obviously, Trump can definitely win re-election but it's not going to be the same deal as 2016.


*He has remained consistently unpopular. His approval rating has remained basically the same and he hasn't grown his base.

*A lot of those "Let's give him a chance" voters have turned away from him.

*The 2018 midterms already proved that most Americans are fed up with him.

*There was a decent of amount of Democrats and left-leaning independents that weren't enthusiastic about Hillary that didn't vote because they thought "there's no way Trump is going to win. Hillary has it in the bag". A lot of those voters were in swing states like PA, WI & MI. However, it's going to be different in 2020. Now, that Trump is President many of those Democrats/liberal independents who didn't vote are definitely going to be voting.

*The base of the Republican Party has shrunk. There's been a decent amount of people who have left the GOP because of Trump and have become independents and some of them are now registered Democrats. Many of them are going to be voting for the Democratic nominee because they "hate Trump and what he has done to the Republican Party". This will especially be the case if Joe Biden ends up being the nominee because he's more "moderate" (I'll vote for basically whoever's the Dem nominee).

*Democrats have been making huge gains across the country since Trump's presidency even in some red states. From the local level all the way up to the federal level. There's Democratic governors in Kansas, Louisiana & Kentucky in spite of Trump being popular in those states. Democrats have been winning some seats across the country that they haven't won in decades or even over a century ago. The GOP is losing the suburbs at a rapid rate. Rural areas are not going to be enough for the GOP.

2020 is going to be different than 2016. The biggest problem is will the Left coalesce around the Democratic nominee or will there still be significant arguments about "the centrist, corporate establishment" vs "the radical socialist wing".
These are all valid points but unfortunately, the reason why he will get reelected is the bolded.

And because Republicans vote "R" no matter what

And they WILL protect him

i can't see reelection being easier for him than winning in 2016 was.

his base isn't enough to win and hasn't grown. independents are getting burnt out with his bs and fed up with incessant lying. if dems turn out the same as they did 2016 (i think more will turn out) this makes it even tighter. people aren't going to be as easily duped by social media trolling this time around. he's been a liability in recent elections and a lot of districts are moving from solid red to purple. some of the gerrymandering rulings are to the dems favor.

once he gets acquitted by the senate he'll go into full retaliation mode instead of trying to govern and get stuff done. that will turn off more middle of the road voters. he can't run on his record, other than the economy, which he actually stifled with his herky jerky foreign economic policy. plus i fully expect an october surprise, we all know he has a bunch of dirty shyt out there that hasn't been exposed yet.

if he does win, i hope dems take back the senate so they can block his judge appts, run back the impeachment and kick him in the azz on his way out the door and into jail.

all that said, i think the american political system will never get back to any semblance of bipartisanship again. you can watch the impeachment trial and see how some of the older congresspeople respect folks across the isle, but agree to disagree. that respect will probably never come back because the newer folks are so hyper partisan they can't be seen as willing to work with the "enemy". in order for anything to get done in the future 1 party may need to control congress and the potus, unfortunately.

:mjlol: This guy really gives no fukks because he was never held accountable in his life. NY created a monster and the MAGA fed it steroids and dropped on the United States. Dude is literally sub-human. :yeshrug:

I'm convinced Trump and conservatives are operating in some parallel society where the things they do are ethical, legal, and moral.

:heh:

45 years ago, a young law student named Zoe Lofgren wrote an article of impeachment against President Richard Nixon. Now she’s a congresswoman and the lone Judiciary Committee member to have participated in all three modern presidential impeachments.

Ms. Lofgren, Democrat of California, is the lone Judiciary Committee member to have participated in all three modern impeachments.

Max Rose, a Democratic freshman from a swing NY district, announces his support for both articles of impeachment.

“A President coercing a foreign government into targeting American citizens is not just another example of scorched earth politics, it serves as an invitation to the enemies of the United States to come after any citizen, so long as they disagree with the President,” Rose said.

Even if the Republicans don't want to impeach him my problem is they think his actions is ok, they're obviously considering and they should state it is

They dont think it's ok I am pretty sure majority hates his guts. The problem is they are picking party over country and want a republican to stay in power. That's what it's all about. Republicans dont want to lose power and I can pretty much guaranteed that there will be election problems on the scale of Bush/Gore. They won't go down easy

All cac dominated countries are because they cant compete or want to compete in Globalization. Its suppose to be the white man's world and Russia is the leader even though the majority probably has Asian ancestry.
False. The overwhelming majority of Russians are White.

Also, 75% of Russia's population lives in the European part of Russia. The Asian part of Russia is sparsely populated (because it's freezing cold year round) and most of the Russians that live there are White. Only a small percentage of Russians are of Asian descent breh.

Also, Canada has it's racists and bigots but (white) Canadians seems to be more concerned about environmental & healthcare issues than anything. Except in Alberta Saskatchewan, and some parts of Quebec.
