No one can be certain if Trump will win or lose reelection
The Hill ^ | August 3, 2019 | Ronald L. Trowbridge

President Trump could win. Or he could lose. By no means does anyone know for sure. I base this uncertainty on six dimensions.

Dimension 1: Immigration

Democrats clearly seem to be implying: “Let all illegal immigrants into the United States. Then give them free health care, including the 11 million illegal immigrants presently in the country.” Costs to taxpayers would be beyond staggering. Trump, as we all know, opposes such actions. We can assume the public is divided. The unknown is: No one can divine the answer.

Dimension 2: Trump’s supporters Hillary Clinton found out the hard way that it was political suicide to attack Trump’s supporters by calling them “deplorables.” Such an insult mobilized a reactionary backlash in spades. Yet all the time we hear of people being chastised simply for wearing a MAGA hat. That’s an attack on the voters themselves—never a wise idea.

Caitlin Flanagan made this same point in the May 2017 issue of The Atlantic, a left-leaning cerebral magazine. She knew better, and her title said it all: “How Late-night Comedy Fueled the Rise of Trump.”

They’re not his fault but these shootings can be exploited by the Dems.

“President Trump could win. Or he could lose.’

The Magic 8 Ball does better at predicting.

That's just what they said about Hillary's election chances.

Kim Clement and Mark Taylor say that Trump will be reelected so that is good enough for me.

I base the headline on one thing and one thing only....

“Never underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate”

Look no further than 2008 and 2012 and 2018 for recent examples. We have a fickle electorate and while I expect Trump to win based on his performance and the fact that people are mostly doing much better under his administration I will still be very nervous.

I wonder if Ronald Trowbridge is of the PDS / Princeton / Yale Trowbridges? He does seem to have a touch of the famous Trowbridge chin.

Will only help President Trump. As usual the rats will go too far and turn the issue as a plus for Trump

The author is an idiot. Any imbecile can predict that Trump will either win or lose.

I’ll go out on a short sturdy limb: Trump will win.

I can. There’s nobody out there that anyone relates to on the left. This will be a Ronald Reagan type of crushing landslide.

What is this bullcrap about “11 million illegal immigrants presently in the country...?”

They’ve been touting this “11 million” number for many years.

It’s more like 60 million+ illegal ALIENS currently in the country.

I fully agree.
When you see voters elect Obama to second term,and give more votes to Hillary than Trump you cannot trust the voter- Tom

“”No one can be certain if Trump will win or lose reelection””

One thing we CAN be certain is:

Donald Trump had BETTER win the next election

AND

ALL of the retiring ‘republican’ representatives had better get replaced with Conservative Republicans who can win their races

Or it’s going to be a sad time for what’s left of our great country

Immigration Democrats clearly seem to be implying: “Let all illegal immigrants into the United States.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That was the position of Bush League Republicans and STILL IS for Flimsey Grahamnesty.

If we want to keep our country, we MUST replace the Amnesty Senators.

As I've said many times: presidential polling results have just two possible interpretations, according to the MSM, either "the Democrat has a commanding lead" or "the polling data is simply too close to call."

Polls show the public doesn't like this. Fake News.
