The lesson the rats learned in 18 was in 16 they didn’t cheat enough. Trump will need a lot of cushion to beat it. It looks pretty good right now but I wish they had gone after the cheating a lot more.
I’ll agree that they were overly confident in ‘16 - but that was even BEFORE Trump’s first term. They are going to have a HUGE row to hoe, with all of the intervening ‘winning’ that we’ve experienced.
They’re looking pretty stupid wrt the impeachment thing; the economy has been booming; Black people are getting a clue; and there is a general sense that we’ve got somebody in charge who absolutely knows his own mind and is fearless about taking a decided STAND on issues.
There’s a feeling of *decisiveness* in the air that we’d been without for many years, and the perception of it is almost a psychic thing that trickles down and spreads around.
I’m pretty confident; and I think we’ve begun this new 2020 election year very well :-)
