Politics as it applies to Presidential elections is completely different in this day and age as opposed to anything before about 2000.

The Media, which has been Left Wing as far back as I can remember used to be able to almost 100% control all we would know about a candidate. Our opinions and therefore our vote was determined in a very large part by the newspapers and network anchors.

Today the lock on news distribution has been broken and citizens have access to an unending supply of news to glean information from. Of course some is pure propaganda but some is not and the very fact there is so much makes it possible for folks who want to know the truth to find it with a bit of work.

Donald Trump has direct contact with something over 100,000,000 people with his various social accounts. It is obvious why the Left so badly wants him to stop his tweeting.

This article says anyone with a likable personality can beat Trump but that isn’t true in this, a re election campaign for a man with an identifiable and envious record of accomplishment.

It’s politics so anything can happen but I see no one running against DJT or in the Dem Party who can out Trump Donald J Trump.

See my posts elsewhere on this. There is no historical precedent for a sitting elected president to lose their bid for re-election, in a strong economy... period.

There have been 4 presidents in the last 120 years who were elected, ran for re-election and failed to be re elected. 3 lost for to economics and the 4th was scandal plagued.

The historical odds of any democrat winning in 2020 are about as good as a snowballs in hell.

Short of a complete economic collapse before the fall or another black swan event of that magnitude.

The only person who can beat Trump otherwise is the same person who could beat him in 16. Trump himself. As long as he is perceived as putting America First he’s got it locked. If however he were to do something to make his base feel otherwise that would cost him re election.
