In numerous recent conversations with colleagues, including last week's senior staff meeting, White House acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney has said he thinks President Trump could win 45 states in 2020 after the impeachment process a magnitude of landslide that few if any independent pollsters would dare predict.
Between the lines: People who've heard Mulvaney make this remark say he wasn't joking or even exaggerating. He appears to genuinely believe that impeachment will have a profoundly positive effect on Trump's political fortunes, according to 3 sources who have heard Mulvaney make the 45-state prediction.
Mulvaney also believes that the longer the impeachment process drags on, the better it is, politically, for Trump, these sources added.
Mulvaney did not stipulate which 5 states he thought Trump would still lose when he made these comments, a source who heard them said.
His view appears to be based more on instinct than polling data. I have seen no polling that supports his prediction, and at this early stage, responsible polling analysts are extremely wary of predicting which party will benefit more from impeachment in 2020.
But it's possible Mulvaney is echoing the ebullience emanating from the Trump campaign. They are raising breathtaking sums online by telling supporters to give money to help Trump fight the Democrats trying to impeach him.

However, the GOP has a deep bench of young, appealing, extremely conservative possible candidates who can carry on the Reagan/Trump movement.
In a vacuum your statement is true, but in reality the margin of victory needs to exceed the margin of Dem vote fraud.
Scratch CO, I exchange R.I. in it’s place.
That would be great.
Oh i’m an idiot :)
I was thinking 14 point swing needed.
8 isn’t impossible.
I’m good with math but terrible with election math :)
So if she won 57 to 43 (i dont know about any third party results) yes 8 points would swing it.
Hard but not NEARLY as hard as my wrong number of 14.
Well that may be true about Union people being angry, I don’t think they’ll overcome the liberal bias in western Washington. Even though two-thirds to almost three-quarters of the state will vote Republican, all it takes is the four counties right around Puget Sound, with King being the leader, to take it for the whole state. Until you can overcome King County, no chance in hell.
No weapon forged against Trump will succeed.
He should be.
Exactly so.
