(11,613 posts)I do not think Trump can win again if the elections are true. I think 2018 proves that he motivates our side to get out the vote at least as much as his and probably moreso. Further... approval #s in the low 40s wont get him there when 54% or so say they would vote for anyone but Trump. His approval #s have been steady despite the outlandish corruption and ineptitude, but that is not in his favor when they are this low.
Also I disagree that Scaramucci is sincerely warning anyone about anything. What he's doing is trying to give some republicans cover to put some distance between themselves and Trump because its pretty obvious Trump is a 2020 loser. Republicans problem is that too much of their base is tied to him and his unpredictability threatens to sink them all. He still claims that all Trumps policies including tax breaks for corporations that have exploded the debt were great, his attacks are directed at Trump the psychotic person not Trump's policies. And I don't think many Republicans are going to listen to him anyway so I'd argue that criticism from disingenuous Mooch is moot.
