I think it's a bit too early to make statements like this. I don't think Trump runs in 2020 either. He'll probably say some bullshit like, "I accomplished many many things. More than any other modern President. Like a businessman, I accomplished my agenda under budget and ahead of schedule. I am saving the American people trillions of dollars by not running again."

If Trump wins in 2020 I'll become an atheist.

I think his ego is too big to not run again.

If he won in 2016, there's no reason why he won't win in 2020. I just don't think he'd want to do it.

We'll have to wait & see what happens over the next 3.5 years

We hold elections for house, senate & lower races
The democrats defend 23 senate seats, the republicans defend 8. The democrats defend in states that went to Trump by double digits, the Republicans only have ~3 races in contention. Most likely outcome republicans get +1-2 seats. Small likelihood of republicans taking a supermajority (needs +8). The house meanwhile puts all its members up for reelection. Most likely outcome is republicans lose ~6 more seats and continue to hold it. Small likelihood of democrats retaking the house (needs +24)

Hence by best estimates the most likely scenario is that Trump's 2018-2020 will have the same congressional powers as the current 2016-2018

Historically, Democrats tend to do worse in midterms because their voters aren't as emotionally engaged.

Election turnout is definitely more consistent during midterms in Red states.

What odds do you have on that changing this time around?

You are #FakeNews

Theres a LOT of left-wing fake news on reddit lately making its rounds
I mean there was a lot of spin before, but its gone full blown fake news and its filtering out from the point of distribution

For real.

I can understand why, though. Reddit is 90% liberal.

He retweeted that less than 2 hours ago... lol.
