Donald Trump will win reelection. Do you agree ... ?

[quote]The United States
Donald Trump will win reelection (55 percent)
This is a close one, but I think the balance of evidence favors a Trump reelection. The basics are simple: Decades of political science work on election forecasting imply that presidents running for reelection enjoy an incumbency advantage, that a strong economy helps the incumbent’s party, and that high levels of US military fatalities hurt the incumbent’s party.

In short: Trump is the incumbent, the economy is growing while unemployment stays very low, and despite some close calls, Trump hasn’t started new wars or expanded existing ones in ways that kill a lot of US service members. Combine that with Trump’s geographic advantage over the Democratic nominee in the Electoral College, and I think he has a better than even chance of winning.

If he does I think we can write America off as a world superpower. But I know I will personally blame all Americans. You got a free pass last time because Hilary was your alternative. This time you have no excuse. Now fix this.

@whowasthatmaskedman Yup, no more Ameritopia, fortunately

@sunsporter1649 We agree. That died with Nixon.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@whowasthatmaskedman I do not recall President Nixon "fundamentally changing America".

@whowasthatmaskedman huh??? now we got Biden and Bernie...not the best choices.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Bernie at least is genuine however misguided. @akindheart

@jackjjackson Not hate at all. Sadness at the passing of a once great nation . And if the voters fail to dislodge him this time out a a disappointment at the apathy that has overtaken you all. But in the scheme of things it will make little difference. The country is stripped bare economically anyway.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
You’re viewing this backwards. Apathy let the powers get set in place that led to voters supporting the President to get rid of the know it all so called elite. Are you a know it all so called elite? @whowasthatmaskedman

@jackjjackson Imagine living in an age where Americans are spazzing about educated high-earners 😂🤣

Commies smh
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@QuixoticSoul Like bernie the red?
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@jackjjackson You are the one viewing it backwards.. The "Elite" is in power. And taking more every day. Besides. No "elite" can save the nation now. The inheritence of the generations to come has been spent.

@sunsporter1649 Having a view that everyone needs and deserves good education and good health does not make you a communist. Having those beliefs when you nation would rather build a new supercarrier does make you foolish.

@sunsporter1649 Bernie is not threatened by the educated high earners, that’s the funny thing.

The rightoid rush to embrace anti-bourgeois sentiments is downright adorable.

@QuixoticSoul I know, its the Martians interfering with our elections again

Bernie man huh?
@QuixoticSoul
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@jackjjackson Nah. I like Bernie, but I like him in the senate.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
He’s totally harmless there. Ironically he appears to be the most honest of the candidates. @QuixoticSoul
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@jackjjackson Bernie is very much what you see is what you get. One of the reasons he’s unsuitable for the big chair.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Is there a dem remaining in the race that you favor? @QuixoticSoul
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@jackjjackson Biden is fine.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Would you view Biden and Klobuchar as interchangable or is one superior? They two rich guys are trying to convince us they are better versions of Biden. You’re not buying into that? What are your thoughts regarding those two? @QuixoticSoul
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@jackjjackson I’ve never bothered to even look into Klobuchar because he is never going to be one of the forerunners.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Klobuchar is a “she” no lie @QuixoticSoul
