He had a very easy 3 years with no major crisis. Now the economy is in shambles and he showed poor leadership during the pandemic. The Making America Great Again only works in a good economy with no pandemic. In 2016 it pulled in the middle of the road voters he is currently losing. It attracted the white voters to reinforce the good old days when you can go out get a job with no more education or training and pounding in widget A to widget B. And the fact the country is becoming a minority majority nation with technology moving at the speed of light.

Now in 2020 he’s trying to do the same slogan with a poor economy and total mismanagement of a pandemic. And people see Trump lacks empathy and it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Trump is going to lose the electoral college in a landslide and maybe get 45-46 percent of the vote. I think he will struggle getting 150 electoral votes.

There’s still time

Yes, and he is running his 2016 campaign. He still talks about Hillary. Hell, they were chanting lock her up yet still last week. His premise is odd "elect me and when I get into office, I'll fix things."

Even Tom Ridge has had it and announced his support for Biden.

In all fairness, Biden is already a 2 time loser, and locking H up would be a great start.

He could have mitigated his situation, even have himself in a strong position if he had taken on a leadership role. He was fortunate in that Hillary had nigh negatives too. He was the outsider. The business man.


Now, he's president and much of his tax information has just come out too.

Red meat is great, but I don't see how that helps or even what she is supposed to be locked up for..??

Are you guaranteeing a Biden win, also?

Treason to start, with O in the cell with her.

It looks like he took the same path Ronald Reagan did, lost the nomination twice (1968 and 1976) before grabbing the nomination and winning in a landslide. There is something to be said for 3rd times the charm...

Once upon a time in 2020 B.C. (Before Covid) Trump was making America great again. Do you remember? I don’t remember.

I certainly remember, and still do. I also remember when H was guaranteed a win.

Very true, since it’s rare that it happens.

The only thing that matters is the economy

For the most part, that's the dominating factor.
