2020 Watch: Trump May Repeat Hillary’s Big Mistake

The 2020 race “is Donald Trump’s to lose,” declares The Week’s Matthew Walther. But his “obsession with relitigating” the Mueller probe, while “understandable and probably justified,” will “do him no favors with the crucial 100,000 or so voters, many of them Democrats, who pushed him to victory” in 2016 in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Nor will the fact that “manufacturing jobs, especially in the auto industry, have continued to disappear in the former two states.” His campaign manager talks of seeking wins elsewhere to make up for Midwest losses. But that strategy, says Walther, “is, to put it bluntly, idiotic.” It would only repeat Hillary Clinton’s 2016 error of trying to flip Georgia and Texas “while ignoring the blue and purple-state voters who eventually defected to Trump.”

I think Trump and his team could be nimble enough to realize their bottom line is continuing the robust job market and the sound economic foundation.

Gubmint Motor (GM) continue to make questionable decisions, but I don't have knowledge in that area.

Anyone who thinks Trump has an “obsession with relitigating” the Mueller travesty is either a complete fool or an enemy actor.

Getting to the bottom of these crimes is essential to the continued existence of the USA - which is why America’s enemies will oppose it every step, tooth and nail.

Hillary’s mistake was absolute trust in her fraud machine that she felt no need to campaign. Also being a contrmtible shrew who reminded everybody of the mother in law didn’t help either

There is a literal endless list of companies in manufacturing and energy opening plants and expanding hiring. That will likely be a centerpiece of the campaign. This article falsely acts as if manufacturing is plummeting. No unbiased voter would make that assessment. For the first time in a long time there has been good news in this area.

It is the DemocRATS like 'Nads' Nadler who want to relitigate the Mueller probe with their demands to see the completely unredacted report, plus all of the underlying investigative materials, notes, etc., from the Mueller team.

AG Barr, on the other hand, is moving to the next phase of the Russia Collusion probe, and that is to find out how the investigation started, who green-lighted it, and what, if any, misrepresentations were made to the FISA court in order to obtain multiple FISA warrants and extensions.

And Matthew Walthers KNOWS IT.

Trump rode into office on his promise to secure the border.
As long as that has progressed noticeably he will have the votes.

Adding to that, November 2020 is the time to enforce voter ID and secure the vote chain of custody, with a large helping of I.C.E. If it is sudden the leftist judiciary will be circumvented and in the wake of an overwhelming Trump majority the left will have poor backing in a civil war should they go that route.

The analysis in this piece is not what reality is. Liberal fantasy.

Hillary’s big mistake was avoiding ordinary people, because she thought the election was already won ... that came thru as contempt, and a lot of people could feel it.

Trump likes meeting people - look at all those big rallies where he’s obviously enjoying it - AND seems to realize a 2020 win will take work, it’s not to be assumed ... that’s the right attitude

A valid point. The focus has to be on retaining MI, PA, WI, OH. You got to dance with the ones who brung ya. Sure, it might be possible to flip a NV or CO or NH, and by all means give it a shot, but you can't rely on that.

So the “advice” from the NY Post Concerned Troll Board is to ignore crimes that collectively are a hundred times worse than Watergate.

How can they look at themselves in the mirror?

She not only avoids, but looks down her [ugly] nose at "ordinary" people and goes out of her way to insult them,

DEPLORABLES!

Hillary Clinton is a modern day Cersei Lannister!

Hillary was a horrible, annoying POS candidate with no energy. She could not handle even one appearance a day and could not be bothered to visit vital states. That is not President Trump.

I think that the problem with US car manufacturers they don’t built cars that Americans want; they shove this garbage at us through all those sickly Christmas ads and yearly holiday ads.

Prosecuting and locking up the coup plotters from hillary on down and up to and including obama is job one. If these people don’t end up in prison and thus providing a deterrent to future coup attempts then the economy or securing the border will not matter as it will all be erased when the next coup is successful.

Manufacturing is plummeting. You can tell by all the unemployment and the rising level of layoffs in the sector. President Obama says we have to get used to this New Normal.

:: Gubmint Motor (GM) continue to make questionable decisions, but I don’t have knowledge in that area. ::

The upcoming UAW contract negotiations (expires in November 2019) could be instructive. Usually, they agree to a contract and then cut jobs. Maybe not in this economic climate?

***It would only repeat Hillary Clinton’s 2016 error of trying to flip Georgia and Texas***

She did not need to “flip” any states. She was already “Deemed” the next President. A shoo-in. The election would just be a formality for her win. The magazines already had her win printed up like DEWEY BEATS TRUMAN!

Then the voters spoke....”GET LOST!”
