Way too soon to tell. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that the establishment and crooked lyin' Hillary got kicked in the teeth. We've finally got a non politician running things. All good.


But we have no idea how Trump is going to over the next 4 years. Trump could get impeached. We simply don't know. Let's see where we are at in two years.

She did not lose by landslide proportions. If you don't understand what a landslide is then look at both of Reagan's Elections.

A lot depends on the economy in 2020. One thing is for certain. The Democrats have not stopped calling 62 million voters a bunch of racists, white supremists, nazis, etc. It would be unbelievable for them to ask those people to vote for Democrats in 2020 (or 2018, or ever). The divide between the East/Western coastal voters and Fly Over Country voters will continue to grow. If Trump adds Colorado, New Hampshire, and Minnesota to the electoral majority, it will be no contest.

What a load of bull. Trump is assembling his cabinet at a rate faster than any other president elect, and his choices are well received by practically everyone....except Dems. Big surprise there. What exactly is he running behind on?

Anyone who doesn't know Trump's policies hasn't made it their business to educate themselves. I have been hearing about the claim he has "no policies" ever since he decided to run, but he stated them over and over again at his rallies and they were always on his website.

Exactly! I love watching the Democrats hang themselves in this way. There were many Obama 2012 voters who backed Trump in 2016. There will be many Clinton 2016 voters that vote for Trump 2020.

If you're trying to get someone to join your side/cause/movement, is there a less effective way of doing that than calling them a racist/misogynist/white supremacist/neo-nazi? Can't think of one myself!

It's truly amazing what constitutes a landslide in the eyes of the Trump cultists.

It's truly amazing Hillary couldn't win despite the president, Vice President, First Lady, a popular senator, a and former president campaigning for her. All of academia, the mainstream media, and Hollywood behind her, and 1.2 billion in campaign money. Not to mention the supposed best get out tonvote and ground game operations

I agree with both points.

Trump's supporters will get tired of his false promises in a year or two. I expect him to be quickly tangled up in controversies that will derail his presidency. In addition, only two other presidents (Reagan and Eisenhower) have been in office past their 70th birthday. Based on how other presidents have aged in office, I don't think Trump would even want to run again at age 74.
