How the Democrats Can Win 2020

Supporters of Donald Trump, following the patters of the cult of personality, seem to assume that Trump cannot be beaten in 2020. Current data and data analysis indicate this is false hope and that Democrats may indeed snatch the White House from him in 2020.

There are many reasons for this. One is that his record does not match the promised he made as candidate in 2016. There is no wall on the Mexican border that Mexico is paying for. There is no medical care plan that makes a workable substitute for Obama Care.  There were no steps taken toward "draining swamp" in DC.  The entertainer now runs not as a TV star, but as a leader with a record and the record is not very good.

Predictions will all over the map between now and Election Day, 2020. The following keys will bring the White House to the Democrats in 2020 if they use them effectively.

1.  The Trump presidency is a history of incompetence, racism, corruption, and overall failure. This makes it a huge and easy target.

2. The Blue Wall states like Michigan and Wisconsin can seen the broken promises of Trump that affects their economies  The Trump Democrats there will likely become Biden Democrats.

3. Democrats, the party that gave American Social Security and Medicare, will be able to offer new policies of reform that help average Americans. The Trump agenda remains one for those who own yachts in Monaco .

4. Polls indicate that most Americans support the kinds of policy positions advocated and supported by Democrats.

5. Trump will be unable to explain or defend his record on foreign policy. It has been a record of confusion and forfeiting American leadership in a rapidly changing world.

None of this means that victory is assured for the Democrats. What it does mean is that throwing out Trump should be as easy throwing out Jimmy Carter was for the Republicans in 1980.

What would Karl Rove say about this.  Who cares?
