5. He won't if we repeat the 2018 election.

That means supporting our Democratic candidates in all races that they are competing in. Financially when possible and with time and energy as we are able. It means a major GOTV effort and it means looking ahead to prevent or at least minimize the voter suppression we saw in 2018. Trump is VERY unpopular with the majority of Americans. Most of the Democratic contenders in the race now can win against him in a fair election. I hope the party at the national level realizes that resources will be needed in order to insure a fair election. We won't be able to stop all the propaganda, however we can call it out when we see it. I hope social media will be more sensitive to this issue in 2020. 2018 was a winner for Dems because we had great candidates, the right message , and because we were able to advertise to share that message.

6. It's highly unlikely that he will, but if...I don't even want to think about it.

My wife and I would give serious consideration to moving to another country if the unthinkable happens.

Anyway, I'm pretty confident PA, MI and WI will be blue again, as they've been in nearly every presidential election since the 1980s (sadly, much of the country had been conditioned to despise Hillary Clinton over a quarter of a century, and Trump was the new and shiny object). We can also win FL and NC. Maybe GA and AZ. Maybe even TX. The potential is there for our nominee to win 350+ electoral votes, which is a landslide by today's standards due to increased polarization.
