Leftists have been licking their chops over 2020, citing a host of reasons why President Trump will definitely, definitely be defeated. Among these are the "crimes" in the newly released Mueller report; the supposed failure of the North Korea and China talks; and, most important of all, the anticipated decline of the economy ahead of the 2020 election — anticipated by the Left, that is.
A recent report by Regions Financial group, summarized in Barrons, belies that assumption. One of the reasons the economy might be slowing down, again in the minds of liberal economists, is data showing that the existing home market slowed in 2018. For those like Robert Schiller at Yale or Lawrence Summers at Harvard, this might appear to confirm an upcoming recession. A "significant risk" of a recession exists within two years, Summers told Fortune magazine in January 2019.
The Regions report notes that existing home listings have declined during peak season every year now for four years, including the last two years of the Obama administration. It is curious that liberal economists were not calling for a recession under Obama despite similar data. As soon as Donald Trump was elected — practically on election night — liberal economists started predicting a major recession and searching for data to confirm it. One of those data points was the drop in existing home sales.
What they failed to mention was the reason for that decline. According to Regions, existing home sales have declined because of improvement in the economy, not because of a slowdown pointing to recession. Essentially, existing home listings have declined because houses have been selling so well that there are fewer on the market.

Not one serious opponent to be found anywhere on the Democrat side. The article is very likely correct.
What scares me is what the Swamp and the Left is likely to do once they realize it as well.
Trump has to win big because his campaign will have to take into account the margin of CHEATING in key states.
It happened in 2018 and WILL happen again.
IO, WI, MI, AZ, PA are key.
We need to pickup MN.
This is NOT going to be easy even if Buttplug is the nominee.
The left will play him as a moderate, triangulate like crazy.
Team Trump needs to not underestimate the lies they are going to throw at voters.
But WE, each and every one of us, need to make it happen, by getting out the vote, instead of reading some feel-good article and expecting that others will reelect him.
Anyone who is calling the results 18 months before the election is definitely, definitely an idiot.
Both sides are wrong.
The world today is not the same world in which the election will take place. It’s all crystal ball. (but I hope the author is correct)
Beat me to it.
People forget that the first Bush had MASSIVE approval ratings, which is why some major Democrats chose not to pick that election cycle to run. Which left us with a backwater Governor running against him, and then the environment changed, giving us a new president.
He will only win if we work at the grassroots level to get out the non democrat vote in big enough numbers to overcome the democrat fraud.
Go find the local GOP HQ in your area and join a campaign, ring door bells and/or make phone calls and hand out signs at the HQ. Do something other than just vote
The same rule will apply to Trump. Or rather, it would, if the Democrats weren't so hell-bent on self-destruction that they're running a pack of extremists, clowns, and no-names that nobody in the political center will vote for even if the economy were to tank next year.
2020 is absolutely crucial for the Courts - especially the Supreme Court. I could easily see whoever is elected in 2020 getting to nominate 3 justices.
Ruth Buzzard’s embalming fluid can’t last another 6 years. Breyer is 80. The Wide Latina’s health is not good and much as I love him, Clarence Thomas is 70. 3 of those 4 going in the next 6 years is likely.
True, but I am concerned that the rules have been rewritten.
Until Democrats try to court middle America, they are destined to lose. Oh, and apologies are expected.
Of course, none of this will happen.
Here is the good news:
A few months after the election I realized that Trump’s election was almost certainly divine intervention. God has a plan. Whatever happens, it’s part of the plan. I’ve never seen the left so continuously eviscerated as I’ve seen in the last few years. It is a thing to behold. And it appears they are exposing THEMSELVES on a daily basis.
It’s as if God wants evil to be exposed for what it is before he finally snuffs it out.
“People forget that the first Bush had MASSIVE approval ratings, which is why some major Democrats chose not to pick that election cycle to run. Which left us with a backwater Governor running against him, and then the environment changed, giving us a new president.”
Charisma did it, if Billy C had the personality and charisma of Pocahontas, he would have lost that election.
Never under estimate the power of great charisma and public speaking. His Charisma helped him in other ways as well, mostly with women.
“This is NOT going to be easy even if Buttplug is the nominee.”
not gonna happen. despite all the fluffing by the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia, buttigig is only polling 6% nationally, tied for 5th place with liawatha:
“But WE, each and every one of us, need to make it happen, by getting out the vote, instead of reading some feel-good article and expecting that others will reelect him.”
indeed. and, personally, i’ll be making large donations to his campaign ... it’s the best way for me to relieve the rage at the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia ...
I have been predicting for a while that when the Resistance realizes that all legal means of removing Trump have failed, they will turn to either revolution or assassination. That time, I fear, is now. Prayers for his safety and the foiling of all the plans of his enemies must be continuous going forward.
But don’t forget that “God helps those who help themselves”. And God works through us. We need to do our part.
