Is the economy good enough create a Trump win in 2020?

That depends. In 2016 the democrats fixed their primary so a corrupt women could run for president b/c it was her turn.

Most of the democrat candidates lining up to run are as hostile to Christians and the constitution as she was.

There are a couple of GOP candidates that hate Trump and may try to run as a spoiler on a third party ticket to take some support from President Trump.

5 Comey tweets today from Trump. He can't stand Comey being a true Patriot and telling the truth about him.

Is Trump better than Obama?

No sane person would think that, hence Trump's historically low numbers. Just saw this (see chart below), Trump is near or at the very bottom. Even today, showing where his priorities are at. Probably will go down as one of the worst, most corrupt ever when it's all said and done:

Just hit 50% in the Rasmussen Poll, much higher than President Obama at same point. With all of the phony stories and Fake News, it’s hard to believe! Thank you America, we are doing Great Things.

And once the economy starts to go, whoever is left will start to abandon him as well. He didn't learn his lessons from his private life when he went on a spending spree and it all crashed down around him.

We surveyed presidential politics experts to sketch out a first draft of Trump’s place in presidential history.

No sane "liberal" would think that. Because POLLS dadgummit!!

Who do you think the best President was, or top 3? Or just your favorite? I'll give you mine, I think for me I would put Lincoln at 1. Yours?

Side note, Hillary was never President.

World changing, Washington, Lincoln, Reagan.

In that order.

Then Jefferson and Madison, giants of their time.

President Trump is trailing Barack Obama in average popularity by less then eight points ( real clear politics )

President Obama was a media darling despite being unable to compromise had accomplished nothing. ( elections have consequences, if they bring a knife, you bring a gun )

President Trump, is reviled by liberal media, under investigation by a corrupt bureaucracy has accomplished more than Obama did in four years.

 

[JB Lions]

World changing, Washington, Lincoln, Reagan.

In that order.

Then Jefferson and Madison, giants of their time.

Good picks.

Ok from chart above:

Washington - 3, 2, 1
Lincoln - 1, 1, 2
Jefferson - 5, 5, 6
Reagan - 14, 7, 5
.............
Trump - 44, 43, 40

So the people you felt were the best Presidents, so did Dem, Repub, Independent scholars. So you kind of just verified the chart. We'll see, but right now, Trump is near or at the bottom.

That's a lot.

Comparing popularity between different centuries / circumstances is meaningless. Presidents more popular after they leave office.

Network media and many newspapers talked about Reagan like they talk about Trump. Reagan not only helped liberate East Germany, he was a key player in helping Poland.

Despite Iran-Contra debacle, in which he took charge and fired the special council investigating himself.

But 45 panders to despots while trashing allies so not sure what your point is ?

My point is, the media is biased towards a progressive world view and will overlook serious defects if you have the the same progressive world view.

If not, then even the amount of ice cream you have for desert will be criticized.

Sara being ripped for tweeting a pic of a Trump briefing about the Syria Strike, but Pence is in the room (he was in Peru)

I guess it doesn't say when it was a briefing about Syria

 

[mr-x]

Which photo should we use? I don't care, just pick one.

Plus, it's in black and white, so it has to be from the 1930's or 40's and Trump wasn't President then, so we know it's fake.

I hope Bernie doesn’t run again - he’s just a perenneal spoiler.

Please enlighten us, tells us all what you actually know about Bernie.

The Clinton family is Christian.

 

[mr-x]

The Clinton family is Christian.

Clinton family is from a predominantly Christian culture. That doesn't make Hillary friendly to Christian values or personal freedom.

 

[enlytend]

What do you mean by “predominantly Christian culture?” Hillary is a member of the Methodist church and has spoken about her faith on numerous occasions.

She also has a fake southern accent.

 

[enlytend]

She also has a fake southern accent.

Acquired, since she’s married to a southerner and lived in the south. Like my NY friends who have sort of a British accent now after years in the UK.

What does that have to with her religion? (Spoiler: Nothing.)
