With the election year now underway, President Trump is no doubt beatable — and yet, it’s starting to feel more and more like he’ll get reelected.
The obstacles to Trump winning in 2020 should not be ignored. To start, in 2016, he only beat the highly unpopular Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College by winning three key swing states by less than 1%. In 2018, all three of them, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan turned against Republicans. Trump also has historically low approval ratings and has been consistently trailing Democratic front-runner Joe Biden in general election matchups.
But at the same time, there are several factors

If Virginia does not go RED, RED, RED, Democrats are stealing lots of votes.

Trump may be beatable, but not by any known Democrat. Perhaps by massive voter fraud

Barr should come out now and state that anyone caught illegally voting will be going to jail and any illegals caught voting will be deported immediately and barred from coming back into our country. Hard jail time is the only thing that will get the attention of the egg sucking Democrats.

It's SOOOOO tough to be a liberal reporter in the age of Trump. "it’s starting to feel more and more like he’ll get reelected", Klein sounds like he is dining on ashes.
But he only beat Hillary by a little bit. But the (rigged) polls show Biden beats him. But the polls (rigged remember) show he doesn't have the approval of the majority. But women don't like him. But he TWEETS. Klein is a but monkey.
Of course "Predictions about the United States being on the brink of a recession have not borne out YET.". "the unemployment rate has averaged 3.9% — lower than any president at a comparable point in office since data started being kept in 1948.", cough, cough, cough. "Recent data also undermines the Democratic argument that the gains have been limited to the very top.", cough, cough, cough. "foreign policy", dead bad guys and no war, cough, cough, cough. "impeachment has proven to be largely a bust for Democrats", darn it. "Democratic candidates don’t seem ready", "the candidate with the ability to generate more enthusiasm among their base fares better than a candidate chosen by default", sigh.
But we could hope for, "The economy can falter. There could be a foreign policy disaster. There could be more damning evidence on Ukraine" or other Deep State stooges could come forward to lie and it COULD stick.
Klein has the sads. It's worse than he realizes. Since he despises Trump he can't properly evaluate the magnitude of Trump's successes and the abject failure and pathetic state of the dems. Nor can he admit the enthusiastic and joyous state of Trump supporters and the desperate, frenetic, and fractured state of the dems.
1 point to Klein for at least bringing up the possibility of a Trump victory.

I found the article to be interesting, in that the writer, Klein, seems to be grieving the truth.
DJT polls match up pretty closely with the Kenyan Klown's, with the results skewed against President Trump because of the bullying some people face if they support him.
We are called deplorable, or racist, or stupid if we support the president. This sort of condemnation has most likely caused some DJT supporters to lie about supporting him. (I was born during FDR's 2nd term, and remember every president, and I do not remember any vitriol against any voters. Much of the vitriol is George Soros or Tom Steyer funded, I suspect.)
I continue to expect a deadlo0cked dimocrat convention, with a nominee not yet campaigning, and a VP candidate chosen by the unnamed dimocrat. The post debate dust-up between Cherokee Lizzie and Bernie the marxist reinforces my belief that there will be a deadlocked convention. Cherokee Lizzie's playing of the vagina card makes it more likely.
If the mystery candidate is a woman, I expect Peter the Homosexual or Miss Corey Booker to be selected as her running mate.And if the mystery candidate is a man, I expect Lumpjaw Amy or Cherokee Lizzie to be selected as VP nominee. But those expectations are not carved in stone. The democratic party is unraveling, and anything could still happen. Even someone as lackluster as the Castro twin, or the fake mexican who calls himself Beto, could wind up on the ticket.

Was it Don Corleone? who said something like, "Never hate your enemies, it clouds your judgment."

Thanks for the optomistic view, but let's just play like we're running behind and have to fight for every vote. Let's face it. President Trump is President because we came ahead on a rounding error -- 70,000 votes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania out of 125 million or so go the other way and we're living under the tyrannical reign of Queen Hillary the Wicked and her Secret Police (aka FBI - DOJ - FISA Courts - Intelligence Services, etc.)

For Klein to come clean and say the "R" word repeatedly, is amazing for him. Must have been painful for him and his copy editor to publish this one.

Voter fraud is not getting then attention it deserves. One example is ballot harvesting in CA. Several GOP seats were overturned in 2018 due to ballot harvesting for as much as one week after the election. As long as a democrat captures the seat, everyone is okay with it. The only time Californians get upset is when a republican wins a seat they were expecting a Crat to win. Then votes are 'suddenly' found floating in SF Bay, or in the trunk of someones car, locked in a closet, etc. The country as a whole is not taking voter fraud seriously.

If the press didn't have DJT to attack they would have to completely re-learn their 'profession'; all that they know how to do now is criticize and/or lie about him.

Boy that is the question of the year isn't it? Will the voters give him a cleaner House and boot Pelosi to the curb as Speaker? I think I am more nervous about the primaries this year than I am the actual November election. For it is the primaries that will tell us how it is gonna go. Unfortunately, if enough of these schmucks win their primaries, it will also send the idiots in congress the wrong message as well. Not looking forward to the lame duck period this year either.

Yeah, "sure thing" if it's a two-way race featuring one of the Dems currently in the race. #10 points out that "President Trump is President because we came ahead on a rounding error -- 70,000 votes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania out of 125 million or so..." You can bet the farm that there will be a "legit" third party (UNIPARTY financed) candidacy that will take dead aim at country club Republicans and "moderate" independents to knock down those thin Trump margins wherever they may occur. It won't be a last minute scramble for that campaign, either. The UNIPARTY object, assuming impeachment fails, is to be rid of PDT.
Hubris inevitably brings down those who refuse to see the possibility of defeat.

I didn't think the article was heavy handed. Anyone who wished DJT would lose re-election wouldn't have stated all his successes.

I would pay a few bucks for a pen from the Trump acquittal. I hope he orders them up and makes a fortune off of them for his re-election.... Hopefully, he or his team read this and get their order in.

Philip Klein writes more like he has seen a new strain of leprosy instead of the contemplated Trump win. He should get a massage, he seems so tense.
