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.

@Nimbus The thing is he finished Republican party for good , whether he wins or not . They are like a cult , fiscal discipline out of the window etc..What would they do the day Trump is out ?
You are hitting in direction on unrest and uncertainty as politicians do not believe in anything anymore. It is more like corporations running the USA.

@Khenpal1 Mmmmmmh, dunno.

The Conservative Party in the UK has remained in power since 2010 and much of it is/has been fractured.

@Nimbus How much are they conservative ? They can't even agree on Brexit. USA is of a different size and people are voting due to financial situation. You can turn time back like 50 Years and promise old good times as world looks different today. Many USA expats are kicked out of Asia as value of dollar is weak and much higher cost of living. Anyway , Trumps achievements are bullocks . He is just faking how great things are.
