Democrats should not delude themselves: unless they shape up and fast the president is heading for four more years
On Tuesday night President Trump launched his re-election campaign with a by now classic rally in Orlando, Florida. It was a Greatest Hits rally in which he accused the Democrats of undermining democracy (by trying to impeach him), talked about the many threats to this country as we know it, and even railed against Hillary Clinton (for old times sake). In short, Trumps message for 2020 is: I made America Great Again, now vote for me so I can Keep America Great.
Democrats will dismiss the speech as lacking ideas and just fearmongering, while reveling in recent polls that have virtually every major primary candidate defeat Donald Trump in 2020, sometimes by a significant margin. They believe the president is weakened by a broad range of issues, including the Mueller report, the treatment of immigrants at the southern border and the various scandals surrounding key cabinet members.
Remarkably, given the traumatic experience of 2016, many Democrats have still not learned the key lesson of US democracy: elections are not won by passive majorities but by mobilized minorities. And while the passive majority might be with the Democrats, or at least not with Trump, the mobilized minority is. There are (at least) four reasons why, at this moment, Trump is cruising towards re-election...

Where can they go? They can simply stay at home.... (political pundits never really consider that option).
Trump REALLY needs to start shipping some illegals back home.
I think if there were only five or six Democratic candidates....it would be a tougher election for Trump. But at 21? All of these debates they discuss (starting next week)....will have no real value if the guy is asked something and only has 3 minutes to respond....then you get eight more folks following that.
Add on the fact that Trump has no real competition in the GOP primary, and will likely only spend ten-percent of what he did in the 2016 primary season. He’ll save everything for the last hundred days.
Then there’s this ‘little-guy’ donation mentality. A lot of us who never donated to a campaign in our life....are easily willing to go and donate $100, $300, or even $500 to Trump’s campaign. He could put out a call tomorrow for 40-million, and reach it in a matter of three hours.
I think the real question for Democrats...after Trump completes the 8 years...is there another Trump-like figure in the distance, and the GOP continues on?
Dear Lord, please bless and protect Mr. Trump, his family and closest advisers. Please guide their decisions, providing the strength, loyalty and even humor they will need to work together, continuing serve our country with all their heart. Help them to relax and sleep deeply at night, building resilience for each new day.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Yup. He starts shippin them out and officially exposes the deep state it’s koitains for the Rats.
Amen
P.S. And please confound Trump's enemies' nefarious plans against him so that they come back and bite them. Amen.
There’s ALOT more reasons than that.
I’m a bit of a cynic, and it’s a burden to myself and those around me. But if President Trump had just a tad bit of cynicism, instead of taking everyone at their word and at face value, I think that might not be a bad thing.

Not bad. I wasn’t familiar with the guy until just now.
Age:35. Veteran. Married for several years.
He was born in Scotland. But to, two Americans, so he is ok in that regard. Has a rather styling eyepatch, which actually looks good. Not sure of the background on that.
Also mentioned in Wikipedia, Duncan Hunter, another very good candidate.
Very good suggestion, thank you. :)
Also, evidently Crenshaw, lived for a while in South America.
So he speaks (fluent) Spanish.
Very good, in regards to winning that Demographic.
Very good suggestion.
Bookmarking.
Amen.
Nobody is cruising towards anything. If you believe that, if you become complacent, we’re going to lose. Run the whole campaign as if you’re four points behind all the way till election day.
That would be Don Jr!
Yup, dan is another “I’ll crawl over broken glass in a snow storm naked to vote for” type candidate.
I was not really excited about Trump last time (I did vote for him, NWIH I was gonna vote hillary) but this time..
snow? broken glass? what ever.. I’m voting for him.
