Let me start with the caveats…

Yes, it’s early.

Yes, we have to work hard.

Yes, we should NOT get complacent.

Yes, we need to vote.

Yes, we (all other variations of not counting your eggs before they’ve hatched).

This entire preamble is to head off comments that boil down to “we need to worry about winning”, “we can’t assume anything” etc. I am well aware of all of that.

This diary is also not intended as prediction, rather for conversation. If you Google “Trump” and “landslide” a whole bunch of Republican-friendly scenarios emerge. Those results and scenarios include wishful thinking by tools such as Hannity and Guiliani. Others are political porn published by right-wing websites.

But if you look for “Landslide against Trump”, “Trump loses in landslide” you do not find much in the way of possibilities. Indeed, of the possible outcomes for 2020 it comes down to Trump landslide, Trump narrow victory and Democratic narrow victory as the three most popular scenarios. There is a lot of credence to those, especially considering that Trump is an incumbent and incumbents tend to win reelection. Analysts like Rachel Bitcofer predicts a close election (and she hit the election bullseye for 2018). That’s the smart money.


So Is An Anti-Trump Landslide Impossible? ...........................
