I don't know, recent polls have been seeing a drop for Trump among the working class and white males in general. Its hard to say now, but if Trumps economic promises do not come true for the rust belt areas or if the economy goes into recession, Trump could be in trouble for 2020. Also, his weakness in front of foreign leaders isn't helping. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ar...s__137616.html
He can only hand out so many $12 billion welfare packages to businesses that lose money or go under because of Trump policies.
And I've seen a number of people on the news who say they voted for Trump to 'try something different.' When asked if they would vote for him again, they laugh and say no. There will also be moderate conservative real GOP candidates running. Whether they try to primary him or run as moderates as Independent, there will an alternative for sane republicans. I don't think the next election will come down to R or D. Change is in the air, and the majority of the country does not even approve of the job Trump is doing now.
But the OP can rely on Maxine Waters if he feels she's wise and prescient.
A decade ago, liberals publicly questioned immigration in ways that would shock many progressives today.
In 2005, a left-leaning blogger wrote, “Illegal immigration wreaks havoc economically, socially, and culturally; makes a mockery of the rule of law; and is disgraceful just on basic fairness grounds alone.”
In 2006, a liberal columnist wrote that “immigration reduces the wages of domestic workers who compete with immigrants” and that “the fiscal burden of low-wage immigrants is also pretty clear.” His conclusion: “We’ll need to reduce the inflow of low-skill immigrants.”
In 2008, the Democratic platform called undocumented immigrants “our neighbors.” But it also warned, “We cannot continue to allow people to enter the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked,” adding that “those who enter our country’s borders illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of the law.” By 2016, such language was gone.
To win the presidency, Democrats convinced themselves, they didn’t need to reassure white people skeptical of immigration so long as they turned out their Latino base. “The fastest-growing sector of the American electorate stampeded toward the Democrats this November,” Salon declared after Obama’s 2008 win. “If that pattern continues, the GOP is doomed to 40 years of wandering in a desert.”
It's not about me or you or concern for illegal immigrants, it's all about elitist Democrats gaining and keeping power and for big business to keep wages down.
Lol. Trump is an ignorant, bigoted, two-faced, immature, petty, little liar who cheats on his wife, abuses women, and pays neither his taxes nor his contractors. While I'd like to think that such a person is not "in touch" with most Americans, his behavior certainly is well-supported from the far-right, which speaks volumes about their "values" and morality.
Trump may win again, but that's just a reflection of the stupidity of too many Americans and how easily some people will sell-out and betray their nation for their party. Oh, and let's not forget: not one Trump licker who votes for him in 2020 would trust Trump today with their wallet or daughter. Partisan hypocrites!
Calm down, Trump with all of his faults was still a better candidate than Crooked Hillary.
You wacko "Pubs" keep saying that, but Democrats DO NOT support open borders. Where do you get this junk? From Lyin' Trump, that's who. SAD that Trumpee's are so clueless.
Look at my status.... Calling it as I see it. The democrats (and to be fair, the republicans, for vastly different reasons) have been protecting illegal immigrants, to the detriment of middle income America. The dems love the votes, and the repubs love the cheap labor. Who gets screwed? Well, it's the guy in the middle, who has their identity stolen when these illegals come across the border and need to get a job.

I'm not convinced at all that Mad Maxine will ever see the light, and there's no real evidence of that positive quote by Waters. Even if she did say it, it's too late. She's hurt her own party, perhaps, for good due to her behavior. President Trump will win a second term, and I even project the GDP going up to 5 percent in the near future.

The people I know who are against a wall are against it because they do not think it will be effective.
Not doing away with ICE. Fix the mess that was created after 9-11.
Some places believe it is the job of the federal government to enforce immigration laws, not local or state governments.
it will be effective. It won't stop all illegal immigration but it will stop or slow down the flow on the border.
federal laws demands that ALL illegals be deported regardless if there are 1 million of them or 20 million.
it's the democrats at the local and state levels where they are in control who builds sanctuary cities to defy federal laws and tie down the courts for years so illegals can stay.
the democrat party policy now is open up the borders, give them driver's licenses and allow them to vote in democratic cities to be in power.
No, but I bet his cult actually thought that had something to do with Trump. If anything, it rose IN SPITE of Trump, not because of Trump.
So say thank you to Barack Obama.
Thank You, President Obama.
You have been the cause of a resurgence in conservatism in America. Without your inexperienced ham-handed handling of American politics, America may have continued down the path of destruction laid out by liberals.
Thankfully, you exposed these self serving intolerant loud mouths by trotting them out in front of your administration, and backlash over your clumsiness has given us President Trump.
Thanks Again
