Finally, there is the real Trump supporter, the mostly blue-collar and lower-middle-class white voters who want to “build the wall” (nativism) and “drain the swamp” (populism). So far, they have not really gotten what they wanted. The swamp has barely been drained – rather, it has been expanded by corrupt Trump appointees – while, despite all of Trump’s grandstanding, the wall is still mostly a fence-in-building. In short, the real Trump voter is left wanting – as is at times loudly proclaimed by their media voices like Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson. But where can they go? To the most diverse party in US history? The party of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Stacey Abrams and Elizabeth Warren?

Where can they go? They can simply stay at home.... (political pundits never really consider that option).

Trump REALLY needs to start shipping some illegals back home.

I think if there were only five or six Democratic candidates....it would be a tougher election for Trump. But at 21? All of these debates they discuss (starting next week)....will have no real value if the guy is asked something and only has 3 minutes to respond....then you get eight more folks following that.

Add on the fact that Trump has no real competition in the GOP primary, and will likely only spend ten-percent of what he did in the 2016 primary season. He’ll save everything for the last hundred days.

Then there’s this ‘little-guy’ donation mentality. A lot of us who never donated to a campaign in our life....are easily willing to go and donate $100, $300, or even $500 to Trump’s campaign. He could put out a call tomorrow for 40-million, and reach it in a matter of three hours.

I think the real question for Democrats...after Trump completes the 8 years...is there another Trump-like figure in the distance, and the GOP continues on?

Dear Lord, please bless and protect Mr. Trump, his family and closest advisers. Please guide their decisions, providing the strength, loyalty and even humor they will need to work together, continuing serve our country with all their heart. Help them to relax and sleep deeply at night, building resilience for each new day.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I’m a bit of a cynic, and it’s a burden to myself and those around me. But if President Trump had just a tad bit of cynicism, instead of taking everyone at their word and at face value, I think that might not be a bad thing.

Nobody is cruising towards anything. If you believe that, if you become complacent, we’re going to lose. Run the whole campaign as if you’re four points behind all the way till election day.

One of the BIGGEST reasons that is apparently esoteric to the modern media and punditry is a very very simple and fundamentally human one.

Yes, the economy is strong, yes, Trump is delivering on his promises far more than ANY elected president I can think of, Yes, he’s an incumbent... etc etc etc.

All those things mean Trump is going win and win big.

However one of the BIG reason no Democrat is going to have a shot, is simple, and its human nature (or at least decent America nature).... and that’s simply the sense of fair play.

All but the most left wing die hard, knows that Trump has not been given a fair shake, he’s attacked and bashed, everywhere, and never gets any credit for anything good....

That’s going to turn off folks who might give you a shot....

D can’t get the middle, no matter what (short of economic collapse) while the entire media/elite political complex is treating Trump the way they are.

And while the passive majority might be with the Democrats, or at least not with Trump, the mobilized minority is.

Udder BS. Labor and 'les deplorables' are the invisible majority.

The author whines about the lack of a wall as a Trump failure. Who keeps denying the funding? Who passes injunctions against citizens stepping up and building a wall? Stinking, lying leftists, that’s who. We have to physically destroy the left.

What about voter/election fraud?

We all know upwards of a dozen house seats were lost in cali due to ballot harvesting. Has that commie bitch in Broward seen any prison time? If there's no repercussions for doing this stuff, why would we expect them to stop? They will do it ten fold this time around.

The usual Manchester Guardian BS.

Yes only 400 miles of wall have been built. In our system, Congress - specifically the House, controls the purse strings not the President. How can anybody blame Trump when he has clearly done all he could to get more wall built?

The immigration policy is not “brutal” it’s rational. Most of the things the Democrats and their propaganda arm the MSM whine about were done under Obama.....as was building walls on the border for that matter.

Those wanting to secure our border are not “nativist”, they want our laws to be followed. Legal immigration is not much opposed.

Trump has drained the Swamp to the extent that he can which is not much. What he has really done though is thwart the Swamp by repealing many Swamp supported policies and not going along with the big government agenda.

Those Blue collar, mostly White voters? They’ve gotten the start of the first real recovery from the Great Recession. Areas of the country that experienced no uptick at all in 8 years under Obama are finally seeing not just jobs return, but wages go up for the first time in decades.

The Democrats aren’t just divided, they’ve gone completely insane for the most part. The hatred of White Men, the historical revisionism, the attempts to shove sexual deviancy down everybody’s throats, the censorship, the Gaia Worship that would crush our recovery, the attempt to flood the country with foreigners so as to support their political agenda (and give their corporate supporters some cheap labor), the gross infringements on Americans’ 2nd Amendment rights they propose, the disastrous surrender monkey foreign policy and sellout of American national sovereignty to the UN, it just goes on and on. Today’s Democratic Party is just nuts.

elections are not won by passive majorities but by mobilized minorities.

Which is precisely WHY the Democrat Platform will be a smorgasbord of Santa Claus items for the ages. Student Loan Forgiveness, anyone?

Trump will win again if God chooses to have mercy on this country and give them four more years grace.
