| TRUMP: Is four more years really inevitable? |
For
the commentary by Hugh Hewitt basically implies that this upcoming presidential
election is for Donald Trump to take. The
2020 election isn’t going to be
close, is what we’re being told.
DESPITE
THE FACT that various polls show the Trump presidency has never been popular amongst
the masses, and only survives because of the incredibly outspoken level of support
it draws from a minority of our society, many of whom do so because The Donald
tends to give his backing to their own prejudices.]
As
Hewitt feels, the one thing Trump has going in his favor is the economy. In
short, it’s not in a recession or headed in that direction.
“Innovation
is accelerating, not declining,” Hewitt wrote. “A recession before Election Day
looks less and less likely by the day.”
In
short, Trump will not be taken down by the very factor that caused many people
to back Bill Clinton over incumbent George Bush (the elder) in the 1992
election cycle.
I’M
NOT WILLING to totally dismiss this theory, because I happen to have a cousin
who leans Republican and is nominally a Trump backer who defends his ideological
choices by saying the state of the economy is really the only issue that
matters.
All
of Trump’s moments of stupidity and ignorance on so many issues that cause
offense to the sensibilities of the majority of us? He argues they just won’t
matter, in the end.
Which
means that the masses of voters come Nov. 3, 2020 will wind up supporting,
either enthusiastically or begrudgingly, the notion of a second term in office
for Donald Trump.

| BUSH: Trump won't lose due to economy |
Something
that I’m sure the man’s over-bloated ego will construe as evidence that we
really, really love him – and that those of us who don’t want the return of
Melania as First Lady can just go and “suck it,” so to speak.
NOW
I DON’T doubt that Trump can win re-election, although I think the real factor at
work is that many people just won’t be able to reach a consensus on who should
be the Democratic challenger against Trump.
I
actually think the dozens of candidates thinking they’re the only ones who
could possibly run a winning campaign will actually result in enough electoral
chaos so that none of them would be capable of getting enough voter support to
prevail on Election Day.
Too
many people who think that we have to have Bernie Sanders, Or Joe Biden. Or
Pete Buttigieg. Or it has to be someone who specifically is NOT a white man. While refusing to consider anybody else. Democrats may not be
capable of reaching a consensus candidate to challenge Trump.
Which
could result in an election cycle that the masses find contemptible. They hate
Trump, but can’t stand whoever it is that winds up getting the political nomination
to run against him.
OR,
WORSE YET. The confusion level is such that the same Electoral College mess
that enabled Trump to win the presidency with 3 million fewer votes than Hillary
Clinton could kick in yet again. Right now, I'd have to think the odds are too great that Trump will once again get less than 50 percent of the vote.

| BIDEN: Leading Dem, for now |
Donald
Trump could easily wind up as the two-term president who never took a majority
of the vote and also was unable to ever get his popularity rating in polls above
the 50 percent mark. In short, the man forced upon our society by an outspoken minority
determined to force their ideological leanings upon the masses.
Some
might think that a “victory,” of sorts. History would record Trump as a president
no one wanted. But in reality, it would record him as a two-time victor – and further
reinforce the leanings of the ideologues into thinking they’re the only people who
really matter.
Some
might want to think that the lack of a recession is a Trump accomplishment. But
if anything, the fact that Trump has a snowball’s chance in that place ending
in double-hockey sticks of winning re-election really ought to be blamed on the
political ineptness of those who want to Dump Donald, but can’t quite figure
out how to do so.
