It Is Really, Really Stupid To Assume Trump Will Lose In 2020

Posted at 4:00 am on June 17, 2019 by Joe Cunningham

Sometime over the weekend, ABC News received leaked internal polling from the Trump camp, showing abysmal performance against top Democrats in the 2020 field, and in the double digits. This followed a New York Times report from early last week saying that the Trump camp was panicking over numbers.

In response to these stories, the Trump campaign fired its pollsters and appear to be starting over on that front.

Now, there are two scenarios here. The first is that the Trump campaign is playing a long-term game using the classic Sun Tzu maxim of war: “Appear weak where you are strong, appear strong where you are weak.”

It is possible, I suppose, that the team is banking on Democrats thinking their numbers are going up and Trump’s are going down and it’s all because of their issues – like abortion, impeachment talk, etc. – finally breaking through to the general public and winning them over. This theory isn’t impossible, by any stretch, and it would be wonderful to see it played out.

However, it assumes that the entire Democratic Party will fall prey to this ploy, and given a lack of general response over the weekend to those internals, no one seems willing to jump fully in yet… except maybe Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is now openly calling for war against Nancy Pelosi.

Just as it is really, really stupid to assume that Trump will win in 2020.  Most of us see the DEMS as crazies, but the left see Trump in a similar light.  Secondly, he's lost some of his support. The big question is can he regain their support or gain enough additional supporters to win the swing states like FL, MI, WI, and PA?  The Demographics in various states are changing due to influx of migrants and those fleeing blue states because of the high cost of living and taxes and moving to more affordable red states.

I didn't think Trump had a snowball's chance before and he won. I'm hoping he can surprise everyone one more time.

I'm hoping that he can surprise as well. With the current crop of Dem socialists running...if he doesn't we are sunk. I don't love the man, but I don't hate him.
