I am curious here because of the offense Pubs took to Obama's EOs. If the Pubs love Trumps we know it's more hypocrisy.Quote:

Chuck Todd made an interesting and I believe very informative point last night. He said much like in 2016, Democrats won the popular vote, Republicans won the electoral college.
With who the Democrats candidates are now for 2020, I dont think they stand a chance against Trump.
I cannot fathom Trump being re-elected. Just cannot see how that is even a tiny possibility.
In fairness, I thought the same thing about him being elected in the first place...pretty much up until about 8:00 on the day he was elected.
He may be the best marketer of all time, that's why. That and the fact that the economy is humming along. Now, if the economy does fall out sometime over the next few years, then all bets are off. Yet, if nothing changes and the complete moron that is Pelosi becomes speaker, trump will win in a landslide in two years.Quote:

That DACA I get kind of, he allows children who were brought over illegally but who are actively trying to participate in our nation to stay. I could see how that could be perceived, but it goes with fact that Obama averaged more deportations per year than Trump has.

Two areas to watch in 2020 as far as the Presidential election will be the Rust Belt (Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania) and the Sun Belt (Florida, Georgia and North Carolina). It's theoretically possible for Trump to still win states like Ohio and Florida but still lose the election b/c of the aforementioned Rust Belt. Whoever gets the Democratic nomination will put a lot more time in those states this time around. Georgia and North Carolina are also states that go GOP more often than not, but they are no longer dead-red states.
The Senate map is going to be much more favorable for Democrats - they'll have one tough seat to defend (Todd Jones in Alabama) but Republicans have to defend seats in places like Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, Maine and maybe Georgia as well.

So even in losing the house, somehow Trump won. And the worst part is that the media just follows along and repeats his talking points.Quote:
