They need to get it thru their heads, he IS NOT going to be removed from office using legal tactics. LOL
Correction my friend:

Its quite possible trump can win a second term when almost half the country are content to base their votes/values on how much dirt can be dug up on his opponent rather than what benefits he can bring to the American people.

"They," I guess you mean the democratic people running for president. They are not clowns. They are concerned citizens of our great nation, and want to get us out of this undeserved quagmire we are in at this moment in history.

Speaking of clowns, trump needs his own clown car; so that all the clowns can come bouncing out with all of their tricks and lies. The republicans in congress and the senate sure look nuts backing a man that has such low morals, etc. etc. !!!

MAGA!!! Resign, trump!!!

Biased partisans, like the GOP doing a sit in protest and trashing career state department employees. The house republicans are more interested in attacking the whistle blower and protecting Trump than the truth.

Yes to this,
when we had a republican governor for
one term , our taxes on everything shot up .
Republicans are the biggest cons , they totally hope and rely on the democrats to
fix all their messes.
I will also vote for anyone but Trump does not matter but sure am
hoping for a married gay couple in the White House.

Then all the stats say the Economy is healthy and booming with record unemployment and rising wages. Now, whether I agree with the stats or not is not the question that is how it is portrayed. Typically, in American History a President is given a second term when it looks this good. (Mind you I disagree with how it looks but that is what the media directors are presenting.)

That all works in Trump's favor. Then the top candidates may not be as strong to the general public as they are to their individual niche markets. I'm thinking Warren and Sanders. With Joseph Biden speaking to a broader audience, realistically he is old and speaks from a different era.

So, yes, Trump might get a second term. What do you think? What will you do? Is America ever going to be the same again?

For me I'll vote for any Democrat running against him. But when election night comes a year from now and potentially Trump wins don't say you didn't hear it from somewhere.
The election is one year away.

"...Nearly two-thirds of Americans say they are not better off financially than they were when Donald Trump was elected, casting doubt on whether economic expansion and a record bull market will boost the president’s re-election campaign in 2020..."

Come here to NJ where NJ Democrats are making me pay 20 cents more tax per gallon of gas and then tell me how bad your 3 cents extra is. BTW, they are thinking about raising that again!

I would say that is a problem for both sides. Trump got it through being a businessman, a racist that wanted to enforce boarder policies that "Obama wasn't enforcing" (Obama actually beat Trump in some months for deportation) and someone to hold up Christian values (but just when did Christianity forget infidelity and coveting were sins, I don't remember...) It is like Trump scrolled City Data for political ideology thinking that there would be enough. He found 30% and added another about 18 through the Republican base itself. In actuality, Trump is not charismatic, he was better than Hillary but he blatantly lies and that made him no better than Hillary.

The Democrats have that charismatic speaker. Joe Kennedy whom have the 2018 Democratic response to the SOTU. I just think gatekeepers think he is too young. Beto is not bad at all, but he was swimming in a tough field and now is a two-time loser. Biden was looked at as an Obama but he isn't and there is a reason.his fundraising dried up before the Ukraine investigation came out...

So who knows?
Yeah about 30% of those that approve of his job are strongly approving, yet nearly the same whim strongly dislike his job, currently approve.

As for propping up the economy, everyone claims that with a President. Remember Obama being accused of faking unemployment numbers and the LFPR was the REAL unemployment rate? Then remember how those people now applaud the Trump are mum over the LPFR even though they railed Obama on it...

You have mastered the art of understatement - many fold.

PS America has rejected, and wants no part of what you refer to as normal. The swamp was "normal". Influence peddling ala the Bidens was "normal". Those days are coming to an end, and it is well past time.
