Will Trump win in 2020?

Has anyone changed their mind about Bernie Sanders, and the America he wants to see in the future, since the last election?

I received many great answers to my last question asking if Americans view Canada as a socialist country.

Many Canadians are just as informed about American politics as we are our own - in some cases, due to vast, sometimes disturbing changes (within the current administration in particular), even more so. Our discussions about Trump are no doubt as frequent as your own, with major concerns about the current state and future of the US, and the impact it will have on the world.

I am a huge fan of Bernie Sanders, who I believe is a solid, honest man with great integrity, regardless of whether one agrees with his ideas. Many of us here would love to see him win 2020, but I understand there is still this fear of socialism, which is not to be confused with social democracy, where social programs are in place to protect all of its citizens - not just the very wealthy few.

My gut told me Trump would become president, from the moment I heard his first speech (much to my chagrin). Now, I can't imagine a second term for Trump - my gut tells me no, which I understand is not based in any reality of the possible outcome. What are your thoughts on this now? Will Trump be reelected? Could Bernie win? All the signs of him running again are there.

Well Americans voted for George W Bush for a second term ????? Why not Trump? The rich are the ones who will be most affected by socialism which is why they force their propergander down your throat

Trump won because he did not play by the normal book. Also the rigging of the college. He left his gop rivils in the ground. I am not even sure if sanders could have won. His supporter are part of a cult now. Remember Hillary won the pop vote. Maybe now the voters who decided to stay home will come out

Ok, I know this is an old post, and I'm not sure how I got here, but I had to read it.... That being said, I found your reply here interesting. I have to ask what your feelings are now on the situation.. Most of all, though, I'd like to know what you meant by Trump rigging the college.. What... How could he have done that ,, pray tell?? .🤪

Most likely he will. There are no better candidates so far and he is an encumbant. Despite all the desperate cries of the sky is falling no such thing is happening. We are doing much better in all areas than we have in a long time.

I wrote this a couple months ago on why my pet rock would be a better president:

My Pet Rock never lies to people. Ever.
My Pet Rock will never break it's promises because it doesn't make any.
My Pet Rock never had a bad word to say about anybody.
It doesn't make up silly new words.
It doesn't have bone spurs.
My Pet Rock isn't under investigation by the FBI.
My Pet Rock doesn't put it's job off to play golf.
My Pet Rock will never shut down the government.
My Pet Rock won't use it's position as president for personal financial gain.
Anyone who tries to collude with My Pet Rock will quickly find it has nothing to say to them.
My Pet Rock never went to college but it never failed a test either.
My Pet Rock is not racist.
My Pet Rock would be tough on terrorists, especially when stoning them.

Weren't his odds last time 3 in 10? I think that's about right at this point. I don't know what to think of the polls, but Rasmussen has been uniformly positive for Trump...and now, slowly, their polls are turning against Trump also. I think they had one last month that had Sanders beating Trump by one point. And that's not to mention all the Fox News polls that mostly show Trump losing to any Democrat. (And all the other polls--sometimes accused of leaning Democratic--also show Trump mostly losing to just about everyone.)

I can't remember where I read it (probably one of the Michael Wolff books), but Steve Bannon also seems to think Trump can't win reelection.

2020 is Trump's to win or lose. People will mostly be voting FOR or AGAINST him, not FOR anyone else. I think "chaos fatigue" will play a bigger factor than any positive aspects of any challenger.
