Trump question

i agree completely. it's disgusting how Democrats hail Obama as a great president.
you are correct, Obama was a complete failure as a leader. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

Here Obama is ranked 12th best out of 44:

And how about ranking presidents based on the stock market? Obama is 3rd best. Trump currently 9th.

I saw an an interview with Steve Bannon. He predicted Trump will win more then he did in 2016. Take that for what's it's worth. I'm not a Bannon fan but he was right about Trump. Originally Posted by Austin Ellen

In his reason why Trump will win again in 2020, Bannon cites the economy as the primary reason. It had no impact in the 2018 midterms and may possibly have a downturn before the 2020 elections. So much for Bannon, a guy who has been dissed by Trump. "Sloppy Steve".

So the questions for you are:

1. What state or states will Trump win that he lost in 2016?

2. The only states that are currently considered "Tossup" states are Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Florida. Trump won all 5 in 2016 but Republicans lost the popular vote big time in all of those states but Florida in the 2018 mid-terms. Why do you think Trump will win in those 4 states again? I know, it's because he has "big balls". I doubt that will have much impact on suburban women voters who rejected Trump in the 2018 midterms big time.

Here is but one article I've cited before that casts a shadow on Trump's re-election.

Here is an interesting article that answers your questions.
It looks like it will be Iowa and Wisconsin will trouble for the dems. It really will depend who the dems put up for the nomination. But good luck to them if they think selling socialism to middle America will work.

I'm not sure if you really read the article and understood what it is saying. The article clearly states that Trump would lose if the election was held today. Iowa and Wisconsin are 2 states that have the possibility of Trump improving his approval rating enough to make them competitive. Right now they are leaning Democratic but the approval rating for Trump in those 2 states is better than the national average. If you think the article is positive for Trump, well . . .

And you continue to ignore my other question -- if you see Trump doing better in 2020 than in 2016, which states do you see going Republican that were Democratic?

Oh, and I love your meme. Typical Trump campaign rhetoric -- fear.

Fuck socialism, communism, globalism, the coudenhove kalergi plan and the push to destroy western civilization and white people.

Yes I understand. The point was even with poor approval ratings he can win the electorial college.

I'll be happy to answer your question as soon as I know who the Dems pick as as their Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees are. That's the ticket there. Whomever they pick - they will have to try and encompass all Americans or at least the majority to win and with their social agenda I just don't see that happening. I may be wrong but I just can't picture ordinary,working class Americans who need to put food on the table for their families every day voting for the dems progressive agenda. Now the "elites" yeah - they have those votes. But it will be interesting to see if Trump can win in some of the states he lost in 2016.

And my meme should install fear in every American. Unless you want socialism - and that's what it is - then vote Trump- or live with the consequences.

Jeeze, all the R's have to do is show a pic of A.O.C. to middle America and they'll go running to the the voting booth to vote for Trump.

I support helping those less fortunate than myself in areas such as health care. That does not make me socialist. I support immigration policies that do not give preference to one type of people over another based on whether or not they come from "shit-hole countries". That does not make me a socialist. The one part of the recent new tax reform law I support is lowering the Corporate tax. That definitely does not make me a socialist. Social Security is socialism and I thank those that passed the law every month. Not all socialism is automatically evil.


Obama was in office for 8 years. Please tell me what was done during his administration that made the country more socialistic? Don't mention Obamacare because you would be wrong.

You keep mentioning AOC. She will not have an impact on voters in 2020 to any extent. You keep mentioning middle America. That is Trump country right now and will stay that way in 2020.

Again, you and your darling Trump try to instill fear in the voters by stretching the truth to meet your agenda.

So many foolishly fall for scare words. But funny how these same people benefit greatly from the type of US socialism that has been in place for years and years.

BTW, Trump trying to bail out farmers, because of his ill-conceived trade war, is pretty much SOCIALISM. So, if you are ill-informed, ignorant or just plain stupid, "socialism" is a bad, scary word. Fox, Breitbart, Drudge Report, Russia News etc. don't want their suckers to get wise.
