With the MeToo Movement and the Gun Control crowd, will Trump be re-elected in 2020 ?

It gets harder, and harder by the day. And Im not even talking about the Russian scandal. If these school shootings keep up, Trump is gone.
He wont have a chance in 2020. These kids, the No Excuse crowd, they are mad. He is done.
Do you agree.

You may be right that energizing these forces will tip the scales, but pronouncing it as a done deal is premature.

Even as he energized the gun control and me too crowds, he's also energized the "Cold Hands" gun folks and misogynists (along with mothers of sons who might be accused, and all that I really see here is the culture wars getting hotter and more pervasive.

Putting kids in the picture just adds more fuel to the fire. They're already talking about how these kids have been corrupted by Soros, and given the Jewish enrollment, its only a matter of time before that gets pulled into the mix.

Whether there is an explicit Russian connection with Trump and his flaming the fires of discord and dissent seems secondary to the fact that its happening.

It almost seems like you're saying the fire will burn itself out if it gets too hot. But at the moment, its still spreading and looking for more fuel, and nobody seems able to, or even interested in digging fire pits or fighting it in any way.

If I was planning to defeat the President I would have one younger candidate with great public speaking talents, great one liners and zingers not crude however, clearly articulated problems with the Trump policies and clearly articulated better solutions. The dems have none of that and are playing the President’s game and lovely badly. No one will beat him at that game. @MistyCee

@jackjjackson Clinton will not be on the ticket. If we have another intelligent activist on the ticket, he is gone.

@MistyCee These kids dont even know who Soros is. You cannot be serious. ☺

Well duh Mrs Clinton is cooked done out to pasture. The question is not getting someone of her ilk regardless of age on the ticket. @Zonuss

@Zonuss I thought the Soros thing was pretty far fetched myself, but somebody was squawking about it on CNN this morning, and I'm sure it'll be all over Fox, if it isn't there already.

@MistyCee I do believe that the gun control theme is being influenced by Soros though.
But guns are not really the problem. It the mind of people. People are angry, frustrated, mad, and full of hate. And you never know what might make them snap or go off on you.

MistyCee

@Zonuss I'm sure Soros and others are probably giving money, just like the Koch Brothers and others are giving money on the other side.

And I'm totally with you that guns are not [i]the[/i] problem, but restricting them (not banning them), makes it less likely that an angry person will kill dozens when he snaps.

And, IMO, I'd rather live with gun free zones in schools, airplanes, sporting events, etc., than having more guns, even in the hands of professionals, in those places and trusting that everyone will behave themselves because they fear for their own lives. Lots of shooters dont' expect to get out alive.

I know its only a piece of the puzzle, but I'll be damned if I think we shouldn't do anything about this little piece because we don't where to put all the bigger and more important pieces.

Gun free and drug free zones must be applicable to EVERYBODY in those zones. @MistyCee
