She needs to focus on the Rust Belt states, where Trump won by less than 1% combined. Trump will equally need to expand his margins way beyond 1% in those states to be sure of winning. It’s possible that a Trump victory in 2020 will once again fall short of winning more of the popular vote than his Democratic opponent.

Not only will Trump expand his margins in those states, he’s going to expanding winning more states he barely lost in 2016.

I concur BUT the one added factor will be a booming economy. If that’s the case in 2020, Trump is back in for a second term. You also have the factor of incumbency.

From what I can see, all trends seem to be in Trump’s direction with respect to those Rust Belt states. He’s delivering on jobs, trade, and immigration, and the Democrats are going even further out to the left.

Why do you act like we are playing defense? He beat the Clinton Machine. And you act like he won’t make any gains against a normal Democrat. He will add Minnesota next time at a minimum. And he’s the incumbent.
