GOP senator: ‘Way too early’ to talk about Republican support for Trump in 2020

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson (Ohio) said Thursday that “it’s way too early” to discuss supporting President Trump in 2020.

“Chris, you know it’s way too early to be talking about the 2020 - ” Johnson told CNN’s “New Day” when asked if he will support Trump in a 2020 re-election bid.

“No, it isn’t not to say that you support the guy who’s president, who’s the head of your party,” CNN anchor Chris Cuomo pushed back. Johnson argued that 2020 could be a different landscape and pointed to the November’s upcoming midterm elections.

“It could be a completely different world by 2020. We have a 2018 election first,” Johnson said. “So, you know, I understand the kind of ‘gotcha’ question you’re engaging here. But it’s just way too early to even be talking about it.”

I live in Ohio and despise all Ohio politicians with equal enthusiasm. They all have one thing in common - gutless!

Kick out all the RINOs! President Trump is the future of the Republican Party--the Party of Integrity since its founding as the Anti-slavery Party!

Let all the psychopaths and other sleaze bags congregate in the Democrat Party--the Party of Slavery, Jim Crow, the Ku Klux Klan, illegal immigration, Voter Fraud, Voting Felons, Segregation, Corruption, Decadence, Crime, Filth, and the Destruction of the USA!

The Hill was in a hurry to publish another Trump bashing piece, so why bother checking facts?

“It could be a completely different world by 2020. We have a 2018 election first,” Johnson said. “So, you know, I understand the kind of ‘gotcha’ question you’re engaging here. But it’s just way too early to even be talking about it.”

Way too early? I think if the following is happening, PDJT's a shoe-in for 2020:

1. Economy humming along over 3%;
2. Trade deals that have been screwing America for years get fixed and our trade gap narrows;
3. As a bonus, North Korea really does start de-nuking and the world is a little safer.

If PDJT can point to the first two and say "Promises made, promises kept!" I think he easily wins re-election.

If he gets #3 on that list, it's a landslide unlike any we've seen since Reagan '84.

Johnson is from Wisconsin not Ohio. Was this inexcusable error in the Hill story or the transcription?

I caught that too and chuckled. So why does it matter? They got it wrong, couldn't fact-check even the most BASIC of things so why isn't everything in this article on The Hill FAKE NEWS!!!!

No reason to support Johnson for reelection either!
