And here’s one reason why Trump will not win 40 states in 2020:
The Democrats did not take Trump seriously in 2016. Hillary did not even bother to seriously campaign in several swing states.
The Democrats will take Trump seriously in 2020. Ballots will be stuffed, and money will be spent to get out every last voter. And a few days before the general election, the mainstream media will blast out some well-crafted, fake Trump story.
It’s early, of course. But I predict a squeaker in 2020, just as we saw in 2016.
And a few days before the general election, the mainstream media will blast out some well-crafted, fake Trump story.
...and the American people will be of two minds - It is fake news or so what?
We have seen nothing but 24/7 hate from the news media and the entertainment industry. At what point do people just tune it all out.
Accept for those in the bubble, no one is really paying attention to the opinions of the media.
Not if the author’s #2 prediction holds:He Will Garner Record African American SupportHe writes in terms of an increase in Trump's AA vote of 15-20% of the total AA vote. IOW, Trump takes at least 20% of the total AA vote. What Democrat politician is competitive if s/he doesn’t draw even 80% of the AA vote???The wild card is “impeachment.” I put it in quotes because what it actually is differs from what it claims to be. So long as Trump controls the narrative on the economy (and the nervous nellies who are panicked about a trade war breaking out) and Trump negotiates improved trade deals and keeps the economy humming, “Ain’t nobody got time for that (impeachment).”
But if nobody has time for impeachment efforts, the Republicans win the Congress again this year, and IMHO at least some of the suckers will notice that the whole Russia3 bit was a con and they can’t trust “the News.” And I guess I think that’s as big a wild card as anything the author of the article mentions.
Trump will NOT play Santa Claus. People vote for the jolly One, who doesn’t really exist. I’ll be happy with 275 electoral votes, knowing that there may be several Jaun McCain-type goofy electors to gum up the vote.
