I think it's a slam dunk Trump gets re-elected, because the Democrats aren't doing anything to appeal to a majority of voters.

History states that eventually there will be a business cycle correction. I hope it's either q4 q1 19-20 or after the election

Quoted from website:
-- Americans tend to be more negative overall than likely voters.

-- Not giving respondents the “somewhat” options leads to higher overall disapproval numbers, even among identical sets of likely voters.

Fake news?

They're counting on the so-called "Parkland generation" as a wild card. If they run someone far left with a gun control platform so restrictive that the SCOTUS might as well just start writing majority opinions now, they'll get 95% of that voting block. If they run someone more centrist, will the newly-minted electorate take the "anyone but Trump" approach, or will they line up behind a third-party socialist? And if the Democrats do run a socialist, what happens to the centrist voters who will have to hold their nose and try to pick the lesser of two very evils, and to the centrist voters who will attempt to declare their living room a sovereign nation, free of US and state laws?

I still don't get this sentiment.

When these kids finally realize they need to pause fortnite and physically go to the polls they give up, so it's all good.

I have a good feeling the dems are going to insult Howard so much that he runs as an independent out of spite. His ego is big enough to believe he can win too.

Hillary Clinton is a murderer and probably conspired with a foreign government on many occasions for many purposes.

Donald Trump is the same in many ways, although he's never had anyone killed. He just wants to set this country back to the '50s. The 1850s.

They're both terrible. I wish George W. Bush could run for a third term, because I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. Not the best President and certainly manipulated and kept in the dark by his closest advisers, but a guy that you always felt was being honest and open as much as he could. When he went out and actually led the country following 9/11, he inspired more confidence than I've had in any other President since I was old enough to pay attention. When he fell back behind the influence of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove, he suffered for it. I wish we'd gotten to see Bush lead this country by himself, because I think he'd have been one of the best Presidents this country has ever seen.

I think President Bush did a pretty good job while in office.  He's not as stupid as the MSM/Hollywood portrayed him to be (a lot of that due to his Texan accent).  He also had to lead and make tough decisions during a very difficult time in this country.  I didn't agree with every bit of his policies, but overall I think he did a fine job.

As it relates to this thread, time will tell but I think in the future some may look back at President Trump and think that he did some great things as well.  I don't like a lot of the things that he says or how he presents himself at times, but I can't disagree with any of his policies so far.

W  followed after his father in a lot of good ways. One key way where he differed is that his father was capable of getting downright nasty, but W never really did. He was a gentlemen, and I greatly respect that in my leaders.

A lot of Trump's goals and policy objectives actually aren't too far from mine. Where we differ most is in how extreme he is in terms of scope and implementation vs. the more gradual, thought-out approach I'm a fan of. I believe in secure borders, in a total rethink of the tax system, in a Supreme Court that bases its opinions on founders' intent or historical precedent rather than the personal views of the judge in question and a total rethink of healthcare from the ground up. I strongly disagree with his efforts to direct large amounts of power to the executive branch in order to implement his policies so extreme that even his own party representatives in Congress have spoken openly about how they disagree with them. And there's all that other stuff I've covered a million times about him dividing this country along a line that hasn't been so bright since the 1960s (although I don't think Obama gets enough blame for deepening the racial trenches in this country).

Basically, if Trump were to respect the branch of government that doesn't listen to him, stop trying to grab power and quit trying to write new rules for the executive branch, I'd greatly appreciate it and think more of him for it. I still think he's bad for the country as a whole, even if he's benefiting a portion of it, and I think the vicious political and social atmosphere of the Obama and Trump administrations will haunt their legacies.
