Liberals are breaking out in flop sweat that impeachment is going to backfire and that Donald Trump will be re-elected in November. So if you need someone to shake you out of your fears, there's always pseudo-conservative David Brooks of The New York Times. On the Friday "Week in Politics" segment on NPR's All Things Considered, he said Democrats are "crazy" to think Trump can win again.

Brooks is crazy if he thinks the Idiot Biden, Psychojawea or Crazy Bernie can win.

It is absolutely essential that we replace the Bush League Republicans.

Yes. VOTE regardless of the polls. Crawl over broken glass if you have to. But VOTE. Remember we have to overcome about 5% to 7% (of total votes) Demscum ballot stuffing and other voting fraud. So VOTE!

Maybe Brooks is, indirectly, on our side now, and wants to lull them to sleep, as they were lulled to sleep in 2016 thinking exactly the same.

By the way did he address the recent polling in the Midwest and Virginia?

There is always the possibility that Trump could lose.

Alternatively, let’s examine the current crop of democRAT candidates.

Biden is a this years version of Stumbles McMyturn (H/T to Kurt Schlichter) for the democRATS in 2020.

Sanders is too small in vision and has Venezuela as an albartoss on his neck.

Warren...pffft. The vagina trump card is over after Hillary’s loss.

Butt-boy. Uh no, we’ve already had a gay president.

Booker...Uh no, we’ve already had a black one too. Throw Devall Patick on that boat.

Steyer and Bloomberg are just too elitist to get any mainstream support.

The rest are just back-benchers looking for face time and a cabinet post. What does Klobuchar

No one held accountable yet? You appear to be politically naive if you cannot see how the drip, drip, drip of negative information against the likes of Comey, Pelosi (her son), Biden (and his son) are not far more damaging to the Left than a quick indictment followed by a trial many, months or even years later.

The whole Coup (Impeachment) thing is political in nature and if you don’t think the Left is sweating what is coming down the tracks at them then you probably don’t belong on this forum. I’m not suggesting you should leave but rather pay a bit more attention to what is happening behind the headlines.

Great reality reply to the whining pearl clutcher!

Not the slightest inclination that he won’t win. Go back to bed.

Brooks, a guy no one reads or watches - only NPR would give this arrogant jack-ass a minute of air time.

I just picked up Nat Silver's The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail--but Some Don't at the library. It's actually very good and enlightening. Brooks is what Silver characterizes as a hedgehog, basically a loud, biased "pundit" whose fact-free predictions are based on nothing more than his personal preferences.

I cannot see how Trump can possibly fail to be reelected in 2020, probably in a landslide, taking the House and Senate along with him.

Hi.

David Brooks has been wrong so many times he’s in Krugman territory.

Lemme guess - Brooks doesn’t know ANYONE who would be voting for Trump.

I can still remember how much fun I had talking to those types right after Reagan’s reelection.

Dems would never fake a poll saying they are less popular than they really are. It’s just not in their nature to do so, no matter how strategic it may be to give that a go every once in a while.

He is probably just looking at the approval and re-elect numbers, which are pretty meaningless.
