Can Donald Trump possibly win 45 states in 2020?
WGNO-TV ^ | October 7, 2019 | CNN

At a meeting of White House senior staff last week, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney made a bold prediction: If the House impeaches Donald Trump, he will win 45 states in his 2020 reelection race.

Which is some kind of prediction! But could it, you know, actually happen?

Well, start here: In 2016, Trump won 30 states as well as Maine’s second congressional district. (Maine apportions some of its electoral votes by House seat.) Meaning he needed to get 14 or 15 more in order to make Mulvaney look like a genius.

That’s going to be VERY hard, for a few reasons.

I have believed since the day he was elected that 2020 will be a landslide. I still believe that.

Trump will be lucky to win with all the deep state corruption. Voter fraud will be front and center during 2020. I actually think this could be the first time that Democrats actually admit to voter fraud and purposely work towards it on ‘moral’ grounds that it ‘must be done’ to get Trump out of power.

the Pelousy and Shift commie/nazi/leftist cabal with all their ‘impeachment’ and obstruction bs is about to re-elect PDJT for sure! I think every Democrat we know is SICK of all this krap!
really super sick of it.

probably any D will win 4 or 5 states, but not for sure .. recall McGovern? and he was (for all his problematic leftist politics) still a much better candidate, and more credible for sure, than any of the current D riff=raff contenders for the D nomination

the D’s really need a sale-able candidate SOON!

And something else that will help:

At the start of the campaign:
the OLYMPICS, in which there will be A LOT of discussion about transgenderism, .... to the benefit of social conservative candidates, who will be seen as the champions of WOMEN.

The unfortunate reality is that Dem cheating has to be factored in.

I’d like trump to hold the 30 and pick up Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Virginia. Tall order but that’d be great.

Throw out conventional wisdom for this election. The Democrats, NeverTrumpers and especially the media have no clue of the outrage of millions of Americans who are not Republican nor conservative, but are good, decent common sense thinking people who are sick of the crap the Democrats are spewing all over the place.

It's getting harder for reasonable people to ignore the elephant in the room...the deep state/swamp.

President Trump almost won Minnesota and he will win next time. If a Republicna can win Minnesota he can win everywhere!

It all depends on how successful the Democrats’ voter fraud is.

Trump can lose PA & WI and still win electoral.
But he can’t lose both PA & MI.
Unless he wins one of Hillary’s states..

I will bravely go on record and predict he will win fewer than 70.

I think 40 states is more realistic. The Dems probably have a hard lock on CA, IL, NY, VT, MA, RI, CT, DE, MD and HI for at least another election cycle.

I think there's a real chance for Trump to pick up ME, NH, MN, NM, NV, CO, VA, OR, WA and even NJ. Not a prediction by me but within the realm of possibility.

This would be on par with the 1988 blowout that sent Mike Dukakis into much deserved obscurity.

Remember when West Virginia was solid blue? I do and they are solid red now. I think President Trump will carry every state except California, Illinois, and New York.

In 2016 people naturally didn't take Candidate Trump seriously because he had dithered on two previous flirtations with running, had never held office before, had less campaign cash, and had a non-politician style.

In 2020 everyone knows that President Trump can win, he now has the bully pulpit of the presidency, that he has tried to fulfill all of his campaign promises and had some big wins, and that the leftist Democrats are truly phucking nuts. Not tired of winning.
