I honestly doubt he runs again at 74 in 2020 and doubt he would win if he did but I definitely don't consider his win even remotely close to a landslide because of a bunch of rural counties when urban counties consist of millions of people.
If President Trump decides to run again in 2020, who is going to beat him? The Democrat Party has thankfully been decimated by Obama and his cult. There is no bench and no viable candidate to even come within striking distance.

Obama and his cult elected Trump by their intransigent extremism. They also killed the Democrat Party.

Thanks!

It's not as if the Republican party has anyone lined up after Trump. Both parties are laughably inept at this point.

They won because of 97,000 votes combined in three states and lost by 2.5 million popular votes. I think the next election will be very different for a lot of reasons but time will tell.

Donald Trump Won 2,600 Counties Compared To Clinton’s 500, Winning 83% Of The Geographic Nation
But how many people live in all these counties. That is what matters. We have over 1 million in the county I live in who overwhelming voted for Hillary. Why do you think she won the popular vote. I just looked up North Dakota. They have 53 counties, all voting for Trump. But the state's population is only a little over 700,000. My county has more people than that whole state lol So you see why this is no big deal.

I would guess the California GDP surpasses the combined total of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania considering it ranks 6th in the world. Liberal voters disagree with Trump supporters just as Trump supporters disagree with liberals. It's time to get used to being on the other side for four years. As it is Republicans own everything for four years, no opposition, no checks, no balances. They have no one they can blame, demonize or attack. If something goes wrong, they have the power to change it any way they want so now they have to prove it.

Oh please you elected Trump. So stop blaming Obama for your actions. You had many other viable candidates but you went for someone who likes to dish it out but can't take it. His handlers need to tell him to lay off Twitter. We don't need a president who easily gets his feelings hurt and then has to lash out. Not cool for a president.

Wrong. If Obama had been successful, the Democrat would have won. The guy you supported twice was a bad President. It's time for you and others to start recognizing that fact.

You guess right about about California, but it is only one state with 55 electoral votes. And if you take away just the vote margins from Los Angeles and San Francisco counties, the popular vote is about a dead heat.

And I wasn't talking to you as you seem to write more civilized posts ... but you're right, the GOP controls everything for the next 2 years and most likely 4 and the SCOTUS selections could make it for much longer.
