So, I am like the only conservative in my family. No matter what accomplishments I mention, they say things like, "He is an idiot, not competent, Putin's B***, Racist, etc." Actually, while I was up North and in Europe for my job, it seems like we are alone in liking him. Really, I have witnessed nothing but hate for Trump. Are we going to lose a great president because of the liberal media? I mean, I'm scared for this country, holy shite. This could go Trump again, or the biggest liberal president we have ever had. If you think Obama was bad, if Trump loses, I think it will be 100% worse.

It's all about the economy. If Trump keeps creating jobs and the markets are doing well, he'll get another term.

Foreign policy wins are lagniappe.

Remind your liberal family that Trump beat them when they couldn't lose. And that in 2020 he will have a track record of success to run on.

They can try..

If he served only one term, he would do a mic drop talking about how he did what he needed to in one term with the media fighting him all the way.

I think the last president who did that was Polk back around the early 1800s.

Well Trump has about 6.5 years left in office, so that would mean he's a two term president.

Just because those that don't support him are vocal, it doesn't mean those that support him are few.

If the economy continues to be hot, with unemployment low, he will get re-elected.

if the economy tanks, he wont.....


People vote their pocketbook. I think more that didn't vote for him are now supporting him as opposed to these that did vote leaving him....

Before trump was elected I had multiple friends who called him an idiot, said they’d never vote for him etc.

At least 3 of them have changed their minds on him significantly and would vote for him next election if it were today. The rest may not come around him, but trump has made progress with people for sure.

It's conservatives' fault. Historically, when the left tried to move us toward "enlightnement" we would resist then they would scream, and we would let them have their way. Trump says let them scream and they do, because it is their only tool and it has worked. I would guess more of the people that supprted Hillary has moved toward's Trump, than people that voted for Trump has moved towards the left. So, I say no he is not a one term president.

I couldn't imagine having liberal family members. I'm sorry to hear that you have to suffer with this.

Right now, they seem to be fixated on Kamala Harris and Corey Booker. Trump can beat either of those two.


I firmly believe the Dims are going to double down on a progressive message focused on nothing but identity politics...and Trump is going to eat them alive for it. It plays right to his strengths.

If the Dims were smart, they'd run a true moderate candidate who can swing back at Trump on economics to win back those Rust Belt voters. Even then, Trump may have created over 9M jobs at that point and whoever they run against him won't matter.

Dims aren't smart though, so I fully expect that won't happen.

Everybody knows now that the MSM is the propaganda wing of the democratic party, and if you think you've seen mudslinging so far, wait until campaigning starts for the 2020 election.

I'm expecting enormous attacks on Trump from all propaganda outlets 24X7 throughout. He'll need to turn that into a win.

he's Teflon, he has pleased his base, expanded support from the 93.7% block. In just 1 1/2 he's run circles around them, so there is no indication that he won't continue in the next campaign. Who are they going to run to beat him? Bernie? Hillary? Harris?

I’m sure it doesn’t hurt that the Dems are exhibiting insanity on top of that.

They are still denying the tax cuts are working and are running on repealing them, for instance.


Lots of people believed in their bullshite until they started seeing their takehome pay go up due to raises, new taxtables, or both.

Some simple life advice: There's only 2 kinds of people in this world; Those that build you up; those that tear ya down.

Life's too short to put up with the 2nd type. Cut them out of life and stop wasting your limited time with rebuilding what they constantly tear down.

Now go forth and be filled with joy and prosperity under 6.5 more Trumpian Years!
