Trump Obsesses About 2020


October 3, 2018 at 7:12 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 38 Comments

“President Trump is increasingly fantasizing in public and private about his 2020 campaign, using midterm rallies to talk as excitedly about his own re-election in 2020 as he does about the 2018 races that are just 34 days away,” Axios reports.

“Last night in Mississippi, he even promised ‘we will do a landslide’ in 2020, after a razor-thin electoral victory (and substantial popular vote loss) in 2016. ‘Who the hell’s gonna beat us? Look! Who’s going to beat us?’ Trump asked, after amping up his frequent riff about former Vice President Joe Biden as a lightweight he’d love to crush.”

Said one former aide: “The greatest moment in Donald Trump’s life was when Hillary Clinton called and conceded the 2016 election. Nothing about actually being the president has ever lived up to that.”

1. So we have something in common. I also obsess about 2020.

Will the country come to its senses? Will Russia fix the voting machines? Things can get a whole lot worse than they already are.

but 2020 will be cool in that it is the year my oldest child will graduate high school. He will turn 18 in time to vote in the 2020 election too, so that is one more person who will be voting for the Democrat over Trump.

2. He just wants to win races. Doesn't care about governing at all.

Seems like he should find something else to be competitive about if he doesn't like what he wins.

4. That's exactly it. This is all a big joke to him. It's just a popularity contest.

He just wants to prove that he's "better". He doesn't give a damn about being president and never has. He doesn't want to do the job, he just wants to suck whatever he can for himself out of the position and to hell with the rest of the country. I'm not religious, but I am really praying for a miracle here. I don't know about the rest of you, but I really can't take any more of this.

5. If you were religious like the Christian evangelicals are, you'd probably support Trump

A lot of those people do. Very weird. You'd think they would have issues with aligning themselves with someone as unsavory as he is.
