“Other numbers trend in Trump’s favor. The Dow is pushing 30,000, unemployment is at historic lows, wages are up, family incomes are as well, and the latest jobs report of 225,000 new jobs in January beat expectations, as CNN tearfully admitted.”

You left out gas prices are very low. People react to gas prices as they are faced with them weekly.

Nine months is a lifetime in politics and while I agree that if an election were held today against this pack of Dem losers Trump would likely win in a landslide and retake the house I do not anticipate normal times ahead. The corona virus is going to totally scramble politics. It might even precipitate the total unraveling of the country. I do not see it not spreading to the USA. Additionally it is having global economic impact. In that environment consensus politics, the basis for landslides, is not likely.

Bloomberg will bankroll the democrats....the GOP better wake up..

Somehow I think President Trump strongly rejects your viewpoint.

I find a lot of parallels between 2020 and 1972. If the Dems follow a similar path as they did in 72 then yes, it will be a landslide. But there’s one major difference. Back in 72 the press and Dem leaders often privately admitted that any Dem candidate was going to be a long shot. They have yet to admit that now. It may be the case that the Dems are in worse trouble than we can possibly know.

In GA, the lowest listed gas price is 2.04(Walmart).

But, with my Kroger points, I just filled up my tank for $1.94 a gallon.

Dude, relax and look forward to owning the libs for 4 more years. Unless there is an economic downturn or President Trump makes a colossal mistake in the next 9 months, he will win re-election. His opponent is literally a socialist who thinks Americans want their wealth confiscated. Trump has very little to worry about; he just has to keep on winning.

You really think the American people will elect Crazy Bernie over Trump?

[yuleeyahoo]

As long as Trump doesn't hire Karl Rove, a man with the singular ability to turn landslides into squeakers; to run his campaign, he should be fine.

“...You really think the American people will elect Crazy Bernie over Trump?...”
In a straight-up, fair election...not only no, but hell no.
But with all due respect, Sir; with the SJWs, the outright rabid communists, the millennials, all the emotional soccer moms across the fruited plain, the voter fraud, vote harvesting, etc....NOTHING, I mean NOTHING would surprise me.
Like I said, we’re 50 points behind.

While that won’t happen again, we can see a landslide election with a number of blue states turning Red and winning the House and increasing our lead in the Senate.

Back in 1972, even those who knew that Nixon was a lying (insert disgusting expletive here) also knew (thought) that he was the best anti-communist we had. The soviet threat outweighed everything else. We thought Nixon would stand up to them.

Instead he surrendered Indochina and normalized relations with Chinese communists.

It took Ronald Reagan to win the cold war with Russia. China is still a threat but the situation is NOTHING like it was then! Or perhaps I should say that voters don’t believe that our situation is anywhere near as dire.

Any candidate of any party who promises them free health care, will get their vote, as long as he convinces them that he can actually deliver. Bernie cannot possibly convince them, but another Obama type could.

I anticipate that Trump will be reelected, but along with a congress committed to medicare for all. Stay tuned.

Bush lost because of Bush. Perot wouldn’t even have been an issue if Bush hadn’t betrayed the base and driven some of them to look to an outsider instead.

[Teacher317]

Bush reneged on his campaign promise, “Read my lips, no new taxes,”

Democrats in Congress passed the new taxes (as they are the Legislative Branch... but the Left blames Bush for it, because he eventually signed the bill because he knew it would be a waste of time to refuse, it would simply come back again and again. It was a Democrat trap, not a Presidential failure.

Thanks for the post, but I don’t believe a Trump re-election is guaranteed. There is equal amount of evidence that points in either direction. Things are too roiled right now to make a firm prediction.

The coronavirus, sad to say, works to Trump[’s benefit.

1) It makes everything he has said about China look prescient.
2) It reminds EVERYONE we should not be tied to China.
3) It makes him look like a genius to begin restricting immigration and even visits from “dangerous” countries.

Yes, nine months is a lot. Nine days is a lot. But there are fundamental factors we’ve watched over 3 years (rising GOP-D voter reg ratios in battleground states), rising popularity of Rs vs. Ds, and so on. The House was an abberation, a combo of horrible R candidates, massive resignations/retirements, and the uncertain fate of Trump still in Nov. 2018. I see nothing, and I mean nothing, that keeps this from being a 320-340 EV blowout, but if Sanders is the candidate, could go as high as 360.

Well, to be fair I am a Millennial (living in California no less!) and most people my age that I know are either planning to vote for Trump or stay home. That’s why I think Trump will have an easy re-election.
