There you go again. Calling yourself smarter than 63,000,000 of your fellow Americans. Logical fallacy doesn't win argument. It only proves you lack one.



Nov 3. Trump traded Paul Ryan for Nancy Pelosi. Same horse different face. Your dreams of Trump "world of hurt" isn't going to come to pass just like all the other predictions of Trump's impending doom have also fallen flat on their face.

We’ll see... Rep. Adam Schiff, Chairman of the upcoming new Dem Intelligence Committee, has said that the President CAN be indicted. There is no actual law now. Dems will request Trump’s tax returns.

Robert Mueller’s findings will soon be completed. Roger Stone may end up yammering to Mueller. The new”selfie” Mueller is checking into. Hmmm. Whose pic could that be? Maybe Trump with the “Golden Showers” ladies in his hotel room? Michael Cohen’s cell phone call in August 2016 in Prague. Funny. He claims he wasn’t in Prague but his cell phone accessed the cell towers there. Maybe that phone went on a trip by itself?

Then there is the closing of the Trump Charitable Foundation for improper funds use by Trumpie. The $25,000,000 payoff regarding Trump University. Oh, so many fun things about the orange one. So hard to believe your 63,000,000 people are that Gullible.

I put this in the same filing cabinet where i filed these predictions about Trump.
  • He won't stay in the race - 2015
  • He will never survive Super Tuesday - 2016
  • 2% chance of being nominated, Nate Silver - 2015
  • Trump won't gain enough delegates to avoid a contested convention.
  • GOP will never nominate him - 2016
  • Trump has no chance to break Hillary's "Blue Wall" - 2016
  • Trump will withdraw from the General Election - 2016
  • Stock Market will crash the day Trump takes office - 2016
Then Disaster for Democrats, MSM, and all the Deranged at CD - Trump wins Election.
  • Electors will vote against Trump. - 2016
  • Jill Stein's recount will give Michigan, PA and WI back to Hillary - 2016
Trump sworn in as President - Head explosions
  • Trump won't last 6 months - 2017
  • Trump will be impeached - 2017
  • Russians Russians Russians (think Marsha Brady) - 2017 to present
  • Trump won't get anything done - 2017
  • Trump will cause WWIII with N. Korea - 2017
  • Secret Plot to oust Trump NY Times - 2018
  • Trump will be Crushed by Mid-Terms - 2018 (did much better than Obama)
It goes on and on and on and you guys are proved wrong every single time. Trump IS the President, he will still be President in 2020, and he's most likely going to be re-elected.

I've posted on this topic several times- but with the exception of the Florida Senate and Governors races, 2018 was a rotten year for Republicans. They lost House seats that were Gerrymandered beyond recognition, lost seats in the former hotbed of Conservatism (OC), lost a Senate seat in frickin Arizona, almost lost a Senate seat in Texas and saw voting trends among women, people of color and younger voters that will be brutal if repeated in 2020 with 2 years of older folks passing and younger voters reaching voting age.


The main point for Trump is that he is mired with favorability ratings in the low 40s. You cannot win re-election with that level of support. There is also the added problem that Pa, Michigan and Wisconsin all swung back to Dems in Senate race, gubernatorial races and total votes across districts. Those were his margin of victory states. With Arizona and Georgia now in play and Florida a less than 100k margin his road to re-election is more of a tightrope. There was not a single Clinton state that offered Trump a glimpse of hope, so the entirety of 2020 will be a defensive map for him.

Until you name a Democrat who will run against Trump this is all for naught.

Remember that Hillary Clinton spent a fortune in North Carolina. Yet this battleground state simultaneously voted for Trump while voting for a Democrat for governor. In fact they ousted a GOP incumbent.

Conclusion. Democrats crossed the line to vote for Trump because they couldn't stand the Democrat candidate who ran against him. Until you can give us a name for of a Democrat, no prediction based on prior elections, will matter.

I would think that you guys would have learned by now that betting against Trump hasn't been working out that well for you.

Thanks for proving my point - you are not capable of understanding the obvious. And they were YOUR talking points, not mine.

I’ll give you my prediction. Kamala will win the primary and lose the general.
