Stuart Stevens, chief strategist for Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign in 2012, tweeted that President Trump won in 2016 for two reasons: African American turnout decreased for first time in 20 years and the third party vote increased.

Said Stevens: “That’s how he won with 46.1% vs Romney’s 47.2%. Seems logical he will try to recreate the same environment.”

Have to convince the 46% who stayed home, and did not vote, in 2016 to do the same thing this time, and I highly doubt that will happen, and of course I am willing to be Mr. Stevens did not add the help trump got from "RUSSIA" into his figures.

I also think the turnout for African Americans will be much higher, as will the numbers for all other groups who will turn out to vote the "worst president" in history out of office. It will all come down to turnout, which I think we will have.
