The Trump-GOP 2020 doomsday scenario

[brooklynite]

Axios:

The big picture: They couldn't be more wrong. In fact, all the big trends are working against Trump and the GOP, based on factors that are hiding in plain sight. Despite the conventional wisdom, many people around Trump and in GOP leadership share this dim view.

Here are three factors that should worry Trump and the GOP:

* The midterm results were actually a terrible leading indicator for him. Turns out that without Hillary atop the ticket, Midwest states like Wisconsin are tough for Trump, and Southern states with rising Hispanic populations are slowly growing more Democratic. Long term, the GOP should be freaking out about this.
* Trump and the GOP face two years of public investigations, coming from three different and dangerous directions: Robert Mueller, the state of New York and Congress. Two years of probing hell await.
* The prolonged recovery is on borrowed time, and a recession could well hit at the worst possible time for Trump — in the thick of the presidential race. Live by the markets, die by the markets.

1. I agree

And the almost here report and exposing trump as the treasonous criminal and fraud he really is will stop his future plans from running again. His rally's are money generators for his legal defense, and personal use, not for the party or his re-election. His supporters are being taken advantage of , again. Its always only all about himself, and no one else, not even his family. He knows all the investigations will destroy him and any chances in his future.

2. Trump is living off the fruit of the Obama recovery.

Trump is chaos in human form everything he touches dies.

4. Bingo!

The republicans have been coasting along on the Obama economic wave, but their own radically stupid tax and tariff greedhead moves have set things up for a frigging bigly #TrumpSlump which will cause great suffering. Repubes will work overtime systematically lying in an effort to pin the blame for their colossal FAIL on Dems. As they demonstrate repeatedly, the G.O.P., sadly, has degenerated to become a darkside party of untruth.

3. GOP starting to realize the star they hitched their wagon to was a meteorite.
