This story notwithstanding, I think we should view this as a cautionary tale.
We got Obama because of Bush. We got Trump because of Obama/Clinton.
She was a deeply flawed, corrupt candidate. Even Democrats knew that. Many Dems stayed home and simply didn’t vote. If the Democrats run a “moderate” candidate, and I don’t mean Uncle Bernie or that Witch Warren - then I think Trump will have a serious, serious challenge getting re-elected. And it will all be painted as an overreaction from buyer’s remorse.
That’s my gut feeling right now.
Whenever FOX goes to a Diner in PA, EVERYONE that voted for TRUMP, still LOVES him!
Er, no.
Do you bother at all following my voter registration stats?

Read my latest data. Then we’ll talk.
But, here we are a year later. He's not delivered on *everything* promised, a point that Never Trumpers will belabor. However, he's delivered on a whole lot, mostly by rolling back some of the XO insanity put in place by his predecessor.
He's taken huge steps to defund the more odious parts of Obamacare, and to deregulate insurance companies so that they're not funded by a captive audience.
Illegal immigration is at a 45 year low (I didn't believe it, until I read it on FR).
Food stamp recipients are down 1.5 million under Trump, and I'd guess that a part of it is because of illegals self-deporting.
H1B and H2B programs are rolling back.
EPA is rolling back some of the more odious regs, and its minions are leaving in droves.
The market loves it. Up 25% or so since last November? Awesome.
And, I could go on, but you get the point. People usually vote their wallets which is good for Trump, and already have a lot of "Trump is Hitler" fatigue...so that won't play well in 2020.
My bet, unless Republicans shoot themselves in the foot (always a possibility) and/or Dems find someone on their bench who isn't a retread (Biden/Bernie/Warren) or a complete idiot (Kamala Harris) ... Trump wins it going away.
