I’m not a professional political analyst, so my political analysis is worth about what you pay for it. However, a few people who know that I called Donald Trump as the 2016 winner, starting back in 2015, have asked me what I think now.
My prediction for the 2016 race was based on a variety of observational and anecdotal evidence. I listened to Democrats, Republicans and independents across the U.S. I talked to people who consider themselves apolitical. I heard from taxi and Uber drivers, the Verizon man, stay-at-home moms, college grads, professionals, blue-collar delivery workers. And I watched nearly every rally of Trump and his opponents.
Now, that same unscientific methodology has led me to conclude that Trump has already secured a second term — no matter who his main opponent turns out to be.
Here are seven ways I think Trump has already secured a second term:
More experience. Trump is the only candidate who has served as president and commander in chief for four years.
Extreme vetting. Trump has been as thoroughly vetted as any political figure in American history, if not more so.
The sky didn’t fall. Some Republicans worried that Trump would be too liberal in practice; some independents were wary. Economists predicted the stock market would immediately crash
No surprises. Trump has proven to be exactly as he advertised. He has gone from being an unknown to being quite predictable, like him or not.
He’s a proven survivor. Not much new can be thrown at Trump that will shake his support.
Height. Trump is taller than any of the likely Democrat nominees.
But today, if I were betting, all my money would have to be on another Trump victory.

We will see if fifty billion can buy the job..
Might have to watch Bloomy tomorrow night...
Amen!!!
If patriots want to effectively give PDJT a third term, then patriots need to support him with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work with MAGA, now KAGA (Keep America Great Always!).
I’m all in for Donald ‘The Mailman’ Trump, ‘cuz he delivers.
She's cute when she writes about herself.
You should see how she goes on about the "government" "hacking" her computer.
Whatever gets her some attention, I guess.
Go ahead, watch Bloomingfail
Would not surprise me if You did
Not at all in fact
My bet is down on Trump and no side bets hedging on the others...
Sounds like you are still on the sidelines
Choose, but do so wisely
The question is how big a win. I think NH, MI, VA, MN, CO and NM could flip. 400 electoral votes.
I don’t know..a Bloomberg-Blumenthal ticket would be hard to beat.
Assuming Dems do not cheat with vote fraud, illegals voting and vote harvesting. And Antifa violence doesn’t turn the country into a violent cesspool of unrest.
And the worsening cases of the Chinese virus will not increase the shutting down of their drug manufacturing and thousands of types of products including auto parts as well as phones and cumputers.
And that China and India dropping due to all that won’t cascade the world markets and added to deliberate one day monetary investment actions by Soros at the same time as the Chinese won’t tank the US economy through November, 2020.
And Michelle Obama doesn’t suddenly accept the nomination, bringing millions of adoring, trusting, credulous fans to her feet. To them she can do no wrong.
Otherwise, it’s a cinch.
Note: All the above is worst case pessimism. I know each factor has a solution and all of them will not happen-—with God’s merciful help.
Michigan voted for him last time.

So true. No matter which demonRAT wins the primary, they will have nothing that Trump hasn't withstood.
Constant fake investigations and impeachment.
Hooker charges, money charges, etal.
I'll never be president.
I’ve been worried about Mini-Mike, but it is sounding like he brings a lot of baggage. Plus, I doubt any of the Bernie-bots would vote for a former Republican, no matter how liberal he says he is. And Mini is a hard sell to blacks, who are enjoying unprecedented employment levels.
“Height. Trump is taller than any of the likely Democrat nominees.”
Trump has already set the narrative is Bloomberg wins the nomination. Everybody will be looking at the debate to see if he has a box or not.
I meant Maine. What’s that ME?
.………...you hacked me! I’ve been saying 400 in my emails to friends for months!
The Tiny Tyrant will buy the nomination. He’ll probably buy off Bernie to get him to go away quietly.
But Mini Mike is a hypocritical little @sshole with a glass jaw. If he’s the nominee, Trump will systematically reveal who the real Mike Bloomberg is—which will be very bad news for the Tiny Tyrant.
