Why Trump will win again in 2020

Spectator | Victor Davis Hanson:

There is a growing wrath in the country, either ignored, suppressed or undetected by the partisan media.

My reasons for thinking Trump was going to be elected in 2016 were entirely unscientific. One of my Hoover Institution colleagues recently reminded me of my data-free, amateurish and bothersome predictions. I teach for three weeks at Hillsdale College every September during my vacation from the Hoover Institution. Each morning I try to ride a bike 15-18 miles out into the Michigan countryside. I have been doing that since 2004. Over the previous 12 years even this conservative rural Michigan county had showed no real excitement over George W. Bush, John McCain or Mitt Romney. But in 2016, Trump signs — both professionally made and hand-painted — had sprouted everywhere, on barns, lawns and sheds. Whatever Trumpism was, lots of southern Michiganders seemed ready for it. Six weeks ago, I rode the identical rural Michigan routes. Sometimes I stopped and talked to a few people. The script was almost predictable. After the requisite throat-clearing — ‘Trump should cut back on the tweeting,’ they said — they were even more eager to vote for him this time than last.

In my hometown near my central California farm, I spent autumn 2016 talking to mostly Mexican American friends with whom I went to grammar or high school. I had presumed then that they must hate Trump. Remember the speech in 2015 announcing he was going to stand, when he bashed illegal immigration, or his snide quip about the ‘Mexican judge’ in the Trump University lawsuit, or his expulsion of an interrupting Univision anchor, Jorge Ramos, from one of his campaign press conferences? But I heard no such thing. Most said they ‘liked’ Trump’s style, whether or not they were voting for him. They were tired of gangs in their neighborhoods and of swamped government services — especially the nearby Department of Motor Vehicles — becoming almost dysfunctional. I remember thinking that Trump of all people might get a third of the Latino vote: of no importance in blue California, but maybe transformative in Midwest swing states? read more

  1. I worry about FRAUD, if anything.

    That said we have not seen the last of the Dems and leftists on trying to remove the POTUS.

    I put nothing past these sickos and nothing surprises me anymore with their old Alinsky projection gaslighting tactics.

  2. VDH still does not get it or P.Trump. He always has to get his digs in about his tweets.
    He is almost there though.
    I wish he could spend a day with him and then report back.

  3. It’s too late for America as 50 states (57, if you’re soros’ monkey, obama).

    The nation will never last as it is now. But make your reservations for anhy land PDJT will govern.

  4. if we want to keep our country as founded we need to do more than just vote in the next election

    we need to get out in the streets and “get in the face of the opposition”
