Americans will not be complacent in November
2016 was no fluke, but in truth, the only democrat Trump could beat, was Hilary Rodham Clinton. Not because she wasn’t electable, but simply because she had too much baggage. Her baggage cost her too many voting blocks. You add to that, several thousand American women who still follow the biblical line that a man is the head of the home, and she simply couldn’t get across the line.
Trump and his steadfast base do not have the numbers to win against any candidate with slightly less baggage than Hilary. That is why Biden knows he has to urgently reduce his baggage tally by ending the ongoing messy situation in the Middle East and sorting his son’s situation. The rest, regarding his old age and largely ineffectual first time are all forgivable as they are circumstantial (not much he could have done with either: he can’t make himself younger and his first term was always going to be ineffectual due to the volume of the madness that went before him, that he had to fix)
I am no David Axelrod, but this one is east to call: Trump will lose to Biden again (and/or to any other democrat who has less baggage than Hilary) again. Fair and square!
Trump has a massive following of Americans who are fed up with the status quo – even if the alternative proves to be no better – but they are simply not the majority in all the electoral states that matter. He simply hasn’t got the numbers to win.
