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 the election happened today, he'd win.

In November? Who knows?

@JoeyFoxx Not a chance. He polls terribly among women and 83% of blacks consider him racist. He's losing in polls in states he handily won before.

I know he’ll win by an even larger margin. @JoeyFoxx
JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M
@jackjjackson and you know this how?

Impeachment has already backfired on Dems
The Pelosi pen fiasco will backfire on the Dems
The actual candidates will backfire on the Dems
Attempting to screw Sanders will backfire on the Dems
Sanders as a candidate will backfire on the Dems
This hits keep on coming

@jackjjackson Very true. The dems should just stay home and mail in the points. Their only hope is moving to the right and getting elected in 2024. Hopefully by then Sanders, Pelosi, Biden, Shiff will be shuffled off in leg irons to their retirement homes.

@jackjjackson I have heard other people say they suspected Schiff of drug use as evidenced by his bug eyed look. Does anyone know if there is any truth to the rumor?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
No clue. From my standpoint that would be a great announcement. @hippyjoe1955

@JoeyFoxx Many things can happen before November .The fact is he bullshited his way to White House. I'm not so sure public will fall twice for his rhetoric. One should not forget that actual power in US elections are greedy corporations.

The dynamics favor the President more now in 2020 than in 2016 when he first won. FOUR MORE YEARS!! @Khenpal1

@jackjjackson It will depend on many things , I would't be so sure if 4 more years is good idea at his age.

@jackjjackson true , but its still bullocks what he is doing.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
I disagree. His behavior is bad. His policy and achievements are terrific. @Khenpal1
