I don't know, but I'm willing to guess it will be even more polarized than 2016. Urban and suburban areas will go even further left - while rural areas will go further right.

If the Democrats nominate some sort of far-left nut-job, such as Bernie Sanders or Kamala Harris, Trump will win in 2020 easily.

A Sanders type has a better chance than a centrist. People are still going to want change

No they aren't unfortunately. It's true - Trump could literally shoot someone and still win 80% of the rural vote.

Way to early to tell. Might as well ask when humans will setup a colony on Mars.

I give him greater than 50/50 odds as of today.

Democrats could lose especially if a Green Candidate siphons off enough votes.

Trump will never win a majority vote. It would be another popular vote loss and electoral college victory.


It will be sad day for America and the world if he does.

They are not going to want to go full commie, which is what they will perceive they are going to get from the self-styled socialist, Bernie Sanders.

Sanders will not win. Of course for him to even have the opportunity, he will have to go all-in and embrace the Democrat party with both arms, as that is what the new rules require to run for the party nomination.

If Sanders runs as an independent, he will destroy the Democrats chances to win, and have exactly zero chance to win on his own.

Odd hedge.

It all depends on if there is a recession in 2020, which some are predicting.

That's a reasonable hedge.

Now I'll go out and make a prediction. I don't see large scale capital misallocation going on now, so I don't think there will be a recession in 2020, and I think Trump will be reelected. So there I predicted both the business and political cycle, sue me.
