Trump's reelection looks more like a long shot than a slam dunk
By Lara M. Brown, opinion contributor — 01/23/20 09:00 AM EST

Although many financial analysts and political forecasters contend that President Donald Trump is likely to be reelected in November because incumbents typically win reelection when the economy is strong, Trump is not a typical incumbent. These are not typical times.

At the outset, Trump will be the only impeached president to have run for reelection. Given that nearly 47 percent of the public believes he should be removed by the Senate, he seems to be starting his campaign from an unusually weak position. By way of comparison, it is helpful to recall that at the outset of President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial in the Senate, only about one-third of Americans wanted Clinton removed from office.

And while the Republican majority in the Senate may reject removing Trump from office, they cannot remove the still-metastasizing scandal that surrounds his actions with regard to Ukraine. The Senate can ignore, but it cannot remove, the damning facts and testimony from the public record, which show that Trump asked a foreign leader to investigate a potential 2020 rival and illegally withheld military assistance in an effort to gain leverage.

If Trump is a slam-dunk why is he embedded between 45%-50% since day one???
Oh,I forgot; it's those Dem meanies.

President Trump deserves to retire while he still has his health and the love of his family.   He should be able to return to his businesses,  secure in the knowledge that he, as a citizen politician, has made a real difference.  He should decide, after he is acquitted by the Senate, to accept that vindication along with the legacy of his humming economy,  and forego a re-election bid.   

There's a practical reason to not run for re-election as well.  Warren crowed the other day how her administration will investigate and indict for crimes the President and those who've worked for him.  Just like in a banana republic.  That shameful precedent can be avoided by recruiting someone like Nikki Haley to run as the caretaker of the economic boom and the President's America-first, working-man priorities and drive the g-ddamn socialist Democrats into the dustbin.

Oh good grief, not this again.

I never consider any election a "slam dunk."  Surprise losers do that...like Hilarious Clinton.
