However unlikely it may seem, Trump has good cause to worry about a primary brawl.
Since 1968, four presidents have faced serious opponents who sought to wrestle away their party’s nomination: Democrats Lyndon B. Johnson and Jimmy Carter and Republicans Gerald R. Ford and George H.W. Bush. Each was gravely wounded by the fratricidal fighting and all failed to win another term.
By contrast, the presidents who avoided strenuous primary opposition — Republicans Richard M. Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush and Democrats Bill Clinton and Barack Obama — all won reelection.

I don’t think there is even ONE Republican that has the balls.
No reasonable, sane Republican would run against Trump.
Republicans need to unite and support President Trump against the Dems.
Liberal propaganda from the LATimes.
Funny...most of the fighting is going on w the RATs
Harris
Beto
Buttplug
Head Plug (Biden)
To coin a somewhat crude phrase; this is just more mental masturbation by the leftists.
LA Slimes wishful thinking.
Dems know their primary will be ugly. So they need someone to challenge Trump in order to divert attention from their circus.
I’d give your left nut to see a re-run of the 2016 GOP field line up against DJT. It was the most enjoyable political treat I’ve ever had :)
True, but how about Romney?
A GOP primary brawl? Who cares? That’s what primaries are for. Please clap.
What worries me is that a GOPe type will go third-party. If he is well-funded (think Soros money), that person could tip the election. After all, Trump just barely won a few key states back in 2016.
And this time the Democrats won’t be complacent. Ballots will be stuffed like never before.
Dream On CLAT.
CLAT: Communist Los Angeles Times.
Mark Z. Barabak and Eli Stokols are abusing freedom of the press.
What a fantasy. Trump will crush any opponent like a bug. Who would it be ? Flake ? Romney? Based on what issue? Economy? Foreign policy? Illegal aliens? You have got to be kidding me. This is wishful thinking by socialist media again.
No kidding, lefty fantasies based on their own echo chamber.
You think they’d look at the size of those rallies and the climbing polls and get a clue, but reality’s not allowed to intervene when the left is dreaming
He's more likely to be hit by a meteor.
No Republican will dare try to primary Trump.
Jeb Bush? He can get 40 points from the pollsters and bought off media.
All these so called challengers have the same “elite” aire about them. They tell themselves that “surely the lowly masses are craving proper rule from the betters.”
Delusion at its finest.
The Republican party has already endorsed Trump and said there will be NO primaries for POTUS 2020.
