Here is something to keep in mind in 2020 general election: if Pres. Trump gets all the votes he got in 2016, and doesn’t lose one voter, but also doesn’t expand to new voters, he will lose badly. The number of people who will vote in 2020 will be significantly higher than 2016.

Not so sure about how many will actually be allowed to vote...and just to get in before it actually happens, I call for a recount in Ohio and Florida, two states where Republicans have tampered with vote tallies since 2004. I'll let you know about Michigan and Pennsylvania.
