BLS 313 Posted August 19, 2018 I'm in (50): * Partly to try and get my $50 back. * Partly bcoz I simply like to wager shiit. * And partly bcoz I don't think it's a lock by any means. The Don is certainly in the driver's seat, but so much can happen in 2 years... If nothing else the likelihood that he carries Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania again is 50/50.. A lot of people didn't get out, sat at home last time - just assuming Cankles would win..Including the biitch herself - to not get out (in those states mentioned above) and campaign was a huge blunder on her part... The Dems won't make that mistake again............. But what will really determine this upcoming election, as in the past - is the Black vote. If they sit on their asses (again) and don't get out, Trump will win. If they get out and vote, like they did for Obama - there will be a changing of the guard at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. $50 - Cruzer (cruizin for a bruizin) Bet accepted.

He can play the blue collar born in Scranton PA card with a good chance to win back the state, and he is seasoned enough to deal with Trump's trolling as deemed appropriate.

If Biden runs against Trump and a GOP never trumper runs 3rd party and takes a marginal number of "could be" Trump voters away I could see Donald losing in 2020. But thats about the only scenario.

You don't think a(nother) scandal could derail Trump's re-election? Or people tire of his unpresidential antics? Maybe the economy take a downswing or another change in the status quo which calls Trump's policies into question? A moderate democrat can't emerge as a viable POTUS candidate? Seems like there are many scenarios. The guy barely won against a loathsome opponent, lost the popular vote and has historically bad approval ratings, yet somehow he is a shoe-in?

You seem pretty confident here. It's the same smug confidence you (and your side) had during the 2016 election. Good.

The Dems usually win national (statewide) elections in Michigan while the GOP usually wins Michigan (statewide) elections. This is the general pattern of how I vote, myself. Trump broke the mold because Hillary had no idea how to appeal to the ballot splitters who push one side or the other over the top while Trump was more attuned to and had better instincts what they wanted to hear.

Nobody gives a about the fake scandals that CNN and wiff push on a daily basis. Nobody gives a about "unpresidential". that is code word for not a cuck. Maybe the economy takes a downswing, but it sure as does not appear to be headed that way as he is locking in new trade deals with EU and NAFTA and China is on the ropes. There are no moderate democrats. He barely won? 304-227, that is an ass whooping. Who cares how many illegals and trannies in Cali vote for the communist candidate? That has nothing to do with the other 49 states. And he faced 93% negative coverage by the press, a DNC that cheated, and an FBI/CIA that was plotting against his campaign. Given the odds he was against and the final outcome it was the biggest presidential election beat down since Reagan/Mondale. Trump is gaining with blacks and Hispanics as Dems are moving farther to the left. Their leading candidates are self proclaimed socialists for god's sake. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
