A thread of optimism: why do you think Trump will win in 2020?

You don't get it.

I truly doubt that any Dem candidate, after going through the primaries and the general election, will get to a 42% approval rate.

They will pander to the Dem base, and end with 35-40% approval of the general electorate.

So, who do you think is more likely to win, the incumbent with 42% approval rate or some unproven candidate 5-40% approval?

I agree with this. First of all, I think that too many of the D candidates melt into each other. translation - No one really stands out. Then, when I mention immigration, I get slapped around, but DCUMers in their bubbles don't frighten me. So I'll say it again and again - If the top D candidate doesn't have a solid immigration platform, s/he is toast. Finally, there are many Inds who lean right. In fact, those who left the Ds can't stand the super progressives who live their lives on clouds. Their ideas are simply not practical.

The Ds can't hold it together. I say this as a former D. Let's see how if the clown car can thin out after the first debate. But sometimes even the most articulate candidates can't walk the walk.

He simply asked “are you better off than you were 4 years ago?” And the answer for most is “yes!” 70% of Americans feel optimistic about their personal finances. Just like James Carville once said “it’s the economy, stupid.” This is why the dems are in big big trouble. Their only strategy right now is to double down on this Russian collusion nonsense.

He isn’t gonna win again with a narrow slavery era EC margin with just a minority vote to become president again. Hillary isn’t on the ballet, Comey isn’t gonna restart the email case 10 days before election, Trump is no longer new to get the benefit of the doubt.

Exactly

But please keep touting his all time high 42 percent approval rating as if it proves that Trump is doing a great job

That's a different argument. The point is, most people who voted for Trump are satisfied with his work, as shown and proven. You guys don't have to be happy with this fact, and can feel free to distract others from this fact. You may even attempt to change the subject as you have, but it doesn't change that this is a fact.

+1.

But try discussing facts and logic with fundamentalist Dems...I've personally given up.

I just trust independents to realize what's going on and to vote accordingly in 2020.

My guesstimate as of today is, Trump has >70% chances of winning again.

DP. I agree. It's been said before and bears repeating: the loudest voices will *always* be those of liberals. All we hear are their opinions, loudly crowing ad nauseum about how much they hate Trump, blah blah blah. There's a huge swath of "silent" voters who are observing and deciding for themselves which way to vote based on the issues. They're not the type to discuss politics in public, or to assume that everyone around them will agree with their views. They don't respond to polls. They simply vote. I'm one of those people and I know I'm not alone.

+1.

We are certainly not alone.

If you consider giving my opinion in an anonymous forum "expressing loudly," then sure. I guess I did. It's not like I shout down my neighbors and family members who hold different political views, or march in the streets, insisting everyone feel as I do, or put out signs (of any kind) in front of my house, or talk loudly about who I'm going to vote for while at the polls, or berate (and attack) people who wear clothing that expresses political views I disagree with or... hopefully you get the picture.

When was the last time a Democratic presidential candidate was competitive in TX in ANY POLL in the last 40 years?

When was the last time a consummate liar, fraud, Russian puppet with low approval win the re-election after losing the first election by 3 million votes ?

When was the last time a democratic presidential candidate was up in AZ, NC and tied in GA?

Trump is not gonna be judged by economy but by his lies, incompetence, tantrums, reality tv drama , Russian puppet connections, juvenile behavior. Think about it.

Yeah right, The puppet was selected by Putin so he could influence Russian policy from the White House. The puppet tried so hard to remove the sanctions but Congress overrode his veto to add more sanctions. Now he has given Putin free hand to shape Syria and middle east policies. Russia is intruding into our air space and our oceans with reckless abandon and not a word from the puppet. After all he believes Putin’s words over Americans.
