Your opinion is just that, an opinion. Based on the porn stars, multiple indictments, resignations, firings, books, interviews, hearings AGAINST Trump, I agree Hilary is STILL the better choice. In fact, a 5th grader is a better choice. I choose morals over money. The soul isn't for sale to Trump.
only 57% of eligible voters voted. hardly an indicator of an accurate assessment of who was the most "popular" With that being said...……..I'l wager there is a much larger voter turnout in 2020.

Clinton had more votes by eligible voters than Trump. No matter how you spin it, it's facts.

Trump's approval rating is low. No matter how you spin it, it's true.

We don't fall for the spin and the play on words. To OP's original question, no, most people here don't even believe Trump supporters are the majority since they know better.

Landslide? No, very close win in 2020 though.

Liberals seem to have a difficult time believing that not everybody thinks like they do. It cost them in 2016 and will likely again in 2020.

The rest are in the middle. trumps drama is exhausting. Politicians (this includes trump) only have so much political capital. He's expended his far too quickly. People over look the occasional controversy. Weekly or daily controversy will end careers.
My grandmother, rest her soul, often talked about the "law of 3's". She said it this way: no matter what you do or how you act, 1/3 of the people will like you, 1/3 won't like you, and 1/3 won't care one way or the other about you.
I've found this to be pretty much a universal rule.

No, trump supporters are not in the majority. Trump won by a slim margin in states that normally vote blue. This was because some independents and democrats took a chance on him. I doubt they would vote for him again

I'm curious to know why you don't think they'd vote for him again?

But anyway, are the Trump supporters the majority? While the 10 or so consistent posters here on C-D would have you think so, Trump's approval numbers average in the upper thirties since he was elected. So no, his supporters are not the majority.
No. No one thinks Trumps supporters are the majority. Or, if there is someone, I missed it.
Trump doesn't need the majority in order to win in 2020. You know that. In fact, I am sure Trump will not get the majority of the votes for President. Hopefully, he will get enough votes in enough places to win.

Many voted for him because they couldn’t stand Hillary. It was more a vote against her then a vote for him. She was a flawed candidate. But the choice was Bernie or her. Not much to choose from.
