Talking about dumping Pence? Trump reelection strategy? WTF??

Almost daily, you can read an article somewhere about Trump's stooges planning for his 2020 reelection. Yesterday and today, there were pieces that mentioned dumping Pence from the ticket.

What fucking planet are those who write these columns living on? Trump getting reelected???

Then again, who's to say that the 2020 election can't be rigged and stolen? Look at what's going on in Wisconsin and Michigan. Dems won both states and the outgoing Republicans are quickly passing "smash and grab" laws to take away the power of the new administrations. They are desperate and will do anything to fight the changing demographics of America. And they will do anything and everything to stop progress and change. They never have and never will accept the fact that change is normal and inevitable.

But back to Trump and 2020. Normal human beings know that Trump can't win. But can the election be stolen? After all, given the changing world in which we live, the only way Trump and the majority of Republicans can "win" is to rig, fix, corrupt and steal elections. They are a doomed party that will do much damage to America in their dying days.

...they might have a shot at keeping the White House. Otherwise, it's pretty tough to imagine our nominee not winning, even with voter suppression and other hurdles in our way.

If the first woman president is a Republican, I think that would be devastating.

Of course, there were factors at play then that won't be in 2020. Such as Comey and a candidate who faced relentless attacks for 3 decades, and is very polarizing as a result.

And Trump's disapproval rating is quite high.
