If Trump Country Soars, Will the President Glide to a Second Term?

In small but politically significant ways, the economy under President Trump has favored regions and constituencies that supported him in 2016. These are the men and women whom Trump called forgotten Americans.

The emerging pattern of economic growth reverses a trend that held from the 2008 recession to 2016, in which Democratic-leaning states and counties far outpaced Republican-leaning sections of the country.

Now, under a Republican administration, job growth rates in Trump country are rising faster than they are in Democratic America. As the national unemployment rate hovers at just below 4 percent, far more red states than blue states are setting records for low levels of joblessness.

“Small” as in having a job vs. not having a job ?

This guy takes a lot of words to state the obvious: Trump’s economy is kicking the ass of Obama’s.

Look...the Democrat Party is dying by self-inflicted wounds. It is as simple as that. Hating Americans, hating Jews, hating Israel, hating Christians is no decent way to go through life. Case closed!!!

It’s Trumps fault.

No, seriously. That’s a good thing. Trump Country is doing well.

And if the slobs in Frisco, New York City, Seattle, Memphis, and so on don’t like it - they know what to do.

I’m sure this guy finds it painful to say this.

There will be no gliding to a second term. Trump will have to fight hard for reelection, and will have to hold on to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan to do it. Not a given.

Glide? I doubt it: there will probably be more votes for the Dem 2020 candidate then there are registered voters... and the media won’t blink an eye. Voter fraud? What’s that?...

I’m personally hoping for a substantial “nationwide popular vote!!” plurality, forcing those states that entered into that compact— even if within one or more of them the popular vote went the other way— to hand their electoral votes to PDJT.

Then watch them shred that compact, light it on fire and shoot the ashes into the sun, and promise never to do such a thing again.... until the next time.

This one item may have doomed any chance of the DNC winning.

“... small but politically significant ways ...”

That makes no sense at all. If it’s politically significant, it’s not small.

“I’m personally hoping for a substantial ‘nationwide popular vote!!’”

Stop hoping right now and start PRAYING! If he won electoral and popular ... wouldn’t that just rot their socks? It might shut ‘em up for a week or two. Sadly, they’d start screaming, “Fraud!” “Hey, that’s no fair. He cheated better than we did.”

Of course, the NYT has to add political taint to the fact that Trump is fulfilling his promise to Working Class American instead of the perpetually aggrieved Intersectional Victims, the Welfare Class and Illegal Immigrants.

Understand that the Rats will have to crash the economy, like they did in 2007 when they took control of Congress and before the election. That is a big concern to me.

I wouldn’t say glide, but I am feeling better about his chances looking at the bunch of absolute buffoons who have lined up to run on the Democrat side.

Of course he won’t be re-elected! Nobody likes extra money in their pocket and a booming economy. But everyone adores illegals storming our borders, 💩 in the streets, the climate change ripoff, transgenders doing story time to our kids, Democrats murdering babies after they take their first breath, guys in dresses, antifa assaulting people they disagree with, ms-13 running amok, muslim rape and murder, college admissions corruption, media lies, etc etc etc I’m voting democrat fer sure! 🙄

I for one would love to see Trump storm California Illinois and other urban strongholds and take the popular vote
