Sen. Collins says it’s ‘too difficult to say’ if Trump will be 2020 Republican nominee

Maine Republican wrote in Paul Ryan for president in 2016

President Donald Trump is already stumping for re-election in 2020. But at least one member of his party says it’s uncertain if he’ll become the GOP’s standard-bearer.

Maine Sen. Susan Collins, known as a Trump critic, was interviewed on MSNBC Monday morning and asked if she believed the president would end up as the Republican nominee in 2020. Her reply:

Collins also told MSNBC she didn’t support Trump in 2016, instead writing in House Speaker Paul Ryan’s name.

“That was very hard for me to do as a lifelong Republican,” Collins said....

Trump gathered more Republican votes than any other candidate, EVER. That she does not know whether he will be the party’s nominee in 2020 tells you everything you need to know about what GOPe thinks about its members.

It’s too difficult to say if Susan will even be alive in 2020. It’s just too difficult to say.

So, you don't know if Trump is going to run in 2020?

Well, let’s do a little math to see how this plays out and I totally believe he will.

The left has totally overplayed their racist, misogyny, homophobic meme and now are in an all out war to destroy history, culture and our future

They have literally Fk'd themselves in the South, of that there can be no doubt. It's freaking over for them.

Coal Country? Ditto

I'm sure Trump and the administration wasn't thinking things would be so bad that even "so called" republicans would lay down with dirty dogs and come up with fleas

Make America Great Again. A new direction for the rest of the century.

Deliver an even bigger majority in 2018 to set up redistricting in 2020.

Here are some real math numbers.

1st. 2018 is not going to end well for them. They have 25 seats up, with 11 vulnerable. Compare that to the Republicans who have only seats up with merely 2 vulnerable.

Let’s just say losing 30% cor the Dems would be a friggin disaster but, not as bad as 2020....more later.

I think Trump will relish that victory but, it only gets better on matters of substance from there.

2nd. SCOTUS...3 more turns at bat over the next 8 years.

3rd. Federal Judges. Over the next 7.5 years we will realign more than 1/2 or more than 700 Federal Judges and may even break up pesky courts like the 9th.

Hell, we could replace a few annoying judges in Hawaii.

4th. The Wall.

Whomp!

5th. Obamacare will be repealed. “OH NOES!”

6th. Lower Capital gains tax and offer enticing tax advantages to repatriate some of the $3 Trillion offshore and put that capital to work investing in factories and new business ideas. This will invigorate the economy.

Boom! Shams Laka...Boom! Oh, the economy this quarter is on track to out perform any year or quarter than the last guy could must.

In fact, this quarter will out perform Barack’s best quarter by nearly double at 3.7%! “Oooh RahhH!”

7th. 2020. Dems have 11 Senate seats up, compared to 22 for Republicans.

We probably have a net gain of 3 for the Senate.

All 435 seats in Congress are up but, if we can get the issues of healthcare coverage, The economy and the wall in progress as well at least SCOTUS we will probably have an increase in the house as well(I am still studying that battlefield and don’t have numbers yet)

So why all the fighting from the Dems and these charges which are no more than vapor?

Well, their product sucks. Its a stew of hate, Socialism/Marxist utopian ideals and more segregation of society by invented classes of aggrieved people.

But, the real kicker is this about Reapportionment. Can you say Entropy?

8. Yeah that’s right. With more wins under the belt of the Republicans we will have a larger swath of land to carve up because the census will take place, which the predicate for redistricting and guess who wins that fight no matter what?

Republicans and we get an increase in key states we will continue to win. Alabama, Georgia and Florida will gain 1 more representative in the house, who will likely be a Republican

However, Texas will gain 3 or 4 representatives locking up the south for Republicans over the next decade.

So, in 2020 we will gain further majorities in the house and senate, redistrict in our favor, we will be in the middle of an economy that out performs all other nations, 2 SCOTUS or more will be seated in our favor, 300-400 Federal judges are seated Obamacare/Check, Tax Policy/Check, The Wall/Check, Fair Trade/Check, ISIS Dead/Check, Russia petitions for statehood (jus kee dean), Trump Re-elected / Yuge Check.

And the dems wander the wilderness for 10 years because they stand zero chance of doing anything significant after 2020.

You see, as of June 2017 the DNC is not only running an insane $3.5 million dollars in debt but, their fundraising is at the lowest in 14 years.

Who has momentum then and who is winning? Stupet fkrs...

And they have no candidate for 2020 as yet but, their current financial or intellectual leadership.

Oh, and that Trump meme “ He’s going to step down!” Uhmmm...Boo Chit.

You are intellectually Bankrupt as the demoncrats:

He’s already fund-raising for his 2020 PAC with $12,000,000 cash on hand.

That’s right. After disbursements he’s got $12 million Cash!. That’s debt free money. Oh, and the RNC is cash flow positive with $44,000,000 in the bank. I ask you, at this point, who is going to win?

Conclusion:

Democrats are so broke they can’t pay attention and have zero money to support any war but a Cheap azz Chinese knockoff of an intellect.

So, get use to Donald Trump being president for 8 years.

I live in Maine and I can’t stand that b*tch Collins.

I live in Maine’s Second Congressional district which Trump carried by 10 points last November. It covers 80% of the state and in area is 27,000 square miles, the largest district east of the Mississippi (in area).

Maine splits it’s measly four electoral votes. Her highness Hillary won the more populated First Congressional district and the statewide vote as a result by 2.7%, Trump received one electoral vote and Madame Hillary received three.

Collins is rumored to want to run for governor next year. Her support in Maine is evaporating.

A woman I know who is very well connected with Maine’s Republican party recently told me that Collins is “finished” in Maine. I hope so. I noticed that more and more people here have had it with Collins and her crap.

In 2014 I wrote in the name of a local Republican businessman and former cop I know instead of voting for Collins.

I would rather be stripped naked and tortured by the North Korean army rather than vote for that damn woman.

I live in Maine and you are wrong. (See my post # 53).

Stephen King is a barking moonbat of the worst kind. To the left of Elizabeth Warren and every bit as crazy if not worse.

There are some people like that in Maine but they are not the majority. Hell, there are people like that in Texas, too, also in the minority (thankfully).

Maine has the most conservative governor in the country in the form of Paul lePage. He is term-limited next year, but he may run for the U.S. Senate in 2018 against so-called “Independent” Angus King, who is a liberal. I would love to see Gov. LePage become Senator LePage.

We’ve had open carry here for years and both the GOP and some democrats passed Constitutional Carry two years ago.....no permit needed to carry a firearm concealed in your vehicle or on your person.

Firearms are a way of life here; we have little crime, except for the opiate problem.

Michael Bloomberg managed to get “universal background” checks on the ballot last November, but the voters said NO, in spite of the gun grabbers running endless commercials in favor. The sheriffs of Maine ran their own commercials, opposing Bloomberg and his bid to end private gun sales in Maine. The police chiefs, unlike the sheriffs, were on Bloomberg’s side.

I’ve lived here for 25 years after previously living in California and Long Island, NY before that, and I can assure you that Stephen King the nutjob leftist is anything but your “typical Mainer,” any more than abortion Barbie or Sheila Jackson Lee is your typical Texan.

Hopefully Bannon is aware of this and turn this downer into a positive for us, Bannon and President Trump:

Since Google, YouTube, the SPLC, etc. are labeling conservatives and our speech as “Hate Speech”, and using their stigmatization to harm us (denial of service, de-monetizing Youtube accounts, etc), I think Bannon should come up with a Patriot Version of these people who are the true haters.
