We in the US become the most divided we have EVER been

to the delight of the Russians and many other hostile countries.

Answer 1

I think you'll find the US was significantly more divided between 1860 and 1866. But as long as Trump is taking the bait and shooting off increasingly insane sounding tweets he's playing right into the hands of the Dems. They don't have a coherent platform but they won't need one if Trump doesn't shut up and stopping poking the wasps' nest.

Answer 2

From the Baltimore Sun, "we would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are “good people” among murderous neo-Nazis that he’s still not fooling most Americans into believing he’s even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one."

I don't see how any rational person can support Trump.

Answer 3

Well, if the economy is all the Republicans have going for them they will lose. Big banks are winning huge earnings which show that the average American consumers are borrowing more because they believe the economy, low employment, and rising wages and steady interest rates will last. That is giving them a false sense of security.



They are taking out mortgages, accumulating credit card debt all while providing fuel for Big unregulated banks--JP Morgan, Chase, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sach. This looks like a good economy but just for the very people who received a huge tax break. The government is trillions of dollars in debt because only 40% is paying all the taxes.



However, businesses and institutional investors know better. The stock market is up 20% but very few middle-class workers care because they don't have money to invest in the stock market. International money managers and retail investors have pulled over 140.6 billion out of US equities. There is a slowdown of economic grown internationally. They are worried. The rumor of a recession is hanging over Trump's reelection.



The big companies are planning for an automated future. For example, the largest US business/ restaurants are investing millions of dollars replacing 75% of the workers with automation--robotics. Economists are predicting that by 2030, millions of low wage workers will be unemployed and deeply in debt to the unregulated banks.

Answer 4

First of all, Donald Trump is REALLY unpopular. Everyone knows that. So, what the Republicans and Russia needs to do is make the Democratic Party even more unpopular than Trump. That is why they are focusing on the most politically out-of-touch Democrats there are, the big city far-leftists like AOC and Ilhan Omar. The best way for the Democrats to win middle America and therefore the presidency is to become the party of moderates and embrace “Never Trump” former Republicans. If the Democrats nominate someone far left or is perceived as far left, Trump just might get re-elected.

Answer 5

BRING BACK PROHIBITION, AND LAWN CHAIRS 2021!

Answer 6

This is an interesting post.



There's one thing you aren't seeing, though.



Americans were already divided..The Trump Presidency is just bringing that to a boil.



It's a catalyst, you see.



Other than that, I'd say you have presented a very accurate and probable prediction.

Answer 7

Trump Landslide worse than how Reagan crushed Mondale!

Answer 8

What is my view on your view? Always looking into the way other people are looking into the way other people are looking into the way of life.

Answer 9

TRUMP 2020 !! ................................................

Answer 10

You S P R E A D that OUT to block out the truth- Most would vote Sanders Warren, social democracy.



Just like the M E D I A .

Answer 11

I don’t believe Chump can count on the flawed electoral college to save him again. Less than 100k votes allowed Chump to win the electoral college, this is even with the never Hillary and butthurt Bernie supporters staying home or voting for anyone else.

Answer 12

Republican Congressman Amash (D-MI) has endorsed impeachment of criminal mobbed-up Russian puppet obstructionist Trump. Republican strategist Rick Wilson has written "Everything Trump Touches Dies" (2019); former American Spectator editor (and Republican) Bill Krystal has openly condemned Trump's corruption, bigotry, incompetence, and cruelty---and has become an Independent.



Your "view" [a.k.a., narrow-minded pretzel-twisted distortion of meanings] is what a domestic-terrorist KOCH disciple or the anti-democracy Russian MAFIA troll might say---or what a DUPE of these two propaganda-reliant factions would be spewing forth. Check your facts.



This is not yet a Trump economy because Donald Trump and the GOP do not have a budget in place. We are still operating off of the final Fiscal Year budget of miracles-working jobs-creating recessions-reversing Barack Obama. For those of you not in the know: The FY Obama budget in his final year at the White House ran from October 1st, 2016 on through the first nine months of Trump being in the White House, October 1st, 2017, at which time it would have ordinarily ended due to being replaced by a Trump budget. This did not happen, however. Why? The Trump/Bannon/Miller-submitted 2017 ATTEMPT at a budget would have ROBBED WAR HERO DISABLED VETERANS of their VA benefits! How? Trump's budget submission to Congress in 2017 would have put an end to the IU RATING (Individual Unemployability rating) for any war-hero service-incurred disabled military veterans over age 65, thus throwing these elderly veterans into instant POVERTY. Trump figured if these disabled warriors were over 65 they could exist on Social Security and all that lovely VA benefits money could be swiped by his administration (diverted) in the ongoing alt-right effort (most never having served) to privatize our VA medical system---something veterans DO NOT WANT! This one and only Trump "budget" was killed in the Senate when we veterans and our families lobbied against it. How can Trump or any Republican be trying to take credit for President Obama's budget when these same folks have undone the very things that promote stability in the economy? They deregulated the banks again (doing away with oversight and the Dodd-Frank reforms); they cut the revenues-producing, bills-paying Obama/Democrats' 38% tax rate for multi-billionaires and the richest corporations thus creating long-term deficits and massive debt, and they have given away the seven new Asian markets President Obama and his team (Hillary and John Kerry) opened to buying American-made renewable energy products to China when Trump pulled us abruptly out of the 179-nation PARIS ACCORD.



Barack Obama and his first Democrat-controlled 111th Congress from 2009-2012(rated "most productive Congress in 60 years" by C-SPAN News) put policies in to place that reversed the Republican-caused recession by 6/2009; rescued the jobs-providing U.S. auto industry that is now thriving; reduced the deficit from the GOP-caused 10.6% of GDP in 2009 to 5.2% of GDP by 2012; got Osama bin Laden; got affordable health care for millions of Americans while reforming the GOP-deregulated 115 for-profit insurers; prevented multiple terrorist attacks to keep us safe; took on corporate bullies and Wall Street with the Dodd-Frank reforms; and had the southern border so secure by 2012 that migration was at NET ZERO.



Since Speaker Pelosi assumed power on January 4, 2019: More than 320 pieces of legislation have passed in the House of Representatives, many of them with enough Republicans crossing party lines that there is a veto-proof majority---but these passed bills, once they are sent to the Republican-controlled Mitch McConnell Senate, do not get put to a vote!



The division was sowed by two dark forces: "DARK MONEY: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right" (2017) by Jane Mayer; and "The Plot to Destroy Democracy: How Putin and His Spies Are Undermining America and Dismantling the West" by 35-year CIA counterespionage expert Malcolm Nance. Dig deeper, Jake.

Answer 13

I think even rural America is tired of Trump's lies and racist comments that only divide us and his policies that deny who we are. In other words Trump and his cronies lose.

Answer 14

Democrats need to make the case that an economy based on borrowing is unsustainable. Too bad 35% of voters don’t understand.

Answer 15

The division is being touted by the media and Democrats, and many are leaving the Democrats because they cant seem to speak of anything else. Eyes are opening to the truth and they're watching the Republicans working for Americans while Democrats work for open borders, gay rights and giving free stuff they cant possibly afford to give. Trump will win.

Answer 16

There have been prior times in history where the incumbent party lost despite a good economy.

Incumbent President Benjamin Harrison lost to Grover Cleveland during good economic times.



and you realize that, if a scandal is bad enough --- (such as the Russia/Obstruction scandal) --- it can override the economy.



Trump may become the next Nixon.
