Democrats Now Favored In Presidential Race
March 18, 2020 at 8:31 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


Stuart Rothenberg: “More than 14 months ago, I wrote a column in this space suggesting that the 2020 presidential contest was a toss-up, but one that tilted toward the Democrats. I offered caveats about the economy and the Democratic nomination, acknowledging that there was ‘no way of knowing what events will draw America’s attention 18 or 20 months from now.’ Now, the landscape has changed.”

“Democrats are likely to be united in the fall, and President Trump’s standing is stuck where it has been for many months. There are also more questions about presidential leadership and the economy, which the president has been relying on to help him win a second term.”

“The president is an underdog now in his bid for a second term.”

I don't want an 'eked out' win. I want I want a 330 vs less than 200 EC votes. I want the Dem coattails to strangle Moscow Mitch. I want trump beaten so bad that he won't know where to start with the 'rigged election' bullshit. I want him beaten so convincingly that the thought of nominating an extreme right wing sociopath again would be unthinkable.
