President Trump

For a group that saw an incredibly flawed and unpopular candidate win an election nobody thought he could win, you’re awfully quick to write off others.
Democrats should be aiming to win the electoral vote too.

The Electoral College is obsolete and should be abolished.
Im open to hearing why it’s obsolete. I do think we’d eventually have another civil war if the electoral college were abolished and rural areas were forced to bow to the will of the big cities.

So you've accepted NYC telling you how to live your life and now you sheepishly think all the rest of the country should be sheep like you?

How does the Electoral College get removed?
It will take 37 of the 50 state legislatures to amend this term of the US Constitution.
It's just empty words and wishes of sheep in a minority of the states.

Agree. It over-represents rural America. Trump was a big proponent of getting rid of it until it worked in his favor in 2016. "His people" get a disproportionate say, and he's fine with that.
You don’t think it will be close in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania?
If the economy tanks, yes. If the impeachment trial in the Senate doesn't go well for the Democrats, no.
If the Democratic Presidential candidate is to the left of where Hillary was when she lost, no.
Most people still live in metropolitan areas. What you meant to say is the coastal areas and Chicago where liberals are the majority should be able to tell everyone else how to live.

The Electoral College should represent everyone equally, regardless of where they live. A vote in coastal areas carries less weight than a vote in rural America. Fair? No.
Looked like Trump was gonna lose big in 2016. The polls are meaningless. Trump's obviously a
nozzle who s porn stars while his wife is pregnant. But things are probably better for most voters now than they were a few years ago, which outweighs their concerns over Trump's personal shortcomings. Trump's continued presence in the White House would also be a bulwark against some of the nonsense the Democratic Presidential candidates have been proposing. Lots of people will vote for Trump without announcing it.

He is a lock to win if the Dow hits 30K and unemployment stays below 4%.

National Polls are irrelevant.
That's what happened in 2016 to the DemWits.
National popular vote don't mean diddly.
What if the Democratic candidate is a worse candidate than Hillary was?
