What are the odds Trump does not seek re-election in 2020?

Nov 9, 2018, 11:15 AM

I say there is a 40-50 percent chance he does not run again. At this point the Democrats don't really have a strong frontrunner, and the main theme they all seem to be campaigning on is "Oppose Trump", "Trump is bad", etc.... Trump could possibly win in 2020, but that would likely hand the 2024 election to the Democrats, and it would assuredly give them time to find their next Obama-esque front-runner.

There is a good chance Trump is positioning Nikki Haley to run for president in 2020. Haley should be able to defeat any of the likely candidates the Democrats have on their current short-list; and she has an 8-year-president type of personality who will do a much better job of unifying the country than Trump has been able to do. (It appears Trump honestly wants to unify the country, but is unable to because his personality, ego, and stereotypical 1970s 'New Yorker' mouth keep getting in the way.)

If Nikki Haley replaces Trump on the ballot, what would the Democrats' message be?
She is racist? - Doubtful, she is Indian-American.
She is anti-immigration? - Doubtful, her parents are immigrants.
She is anti-women? - They will probably try this one...
She is pro Trump? - This might be their only platform - however irrelevant it will be once Trump steps aside

The businessman in Trump has to seriously be considering the odds that Haley could win the primary and presidency, and how good it would be for the US economy to possibly have a pro-business president who is also a Washington outsider in office for 8 years...

The road goes on forever and the party never ends...

we strive to set things right. I'm just saying in Trump's mind institution of the kind of conditions he likes in business is his goal in becoming POTUS.

He's set the business world ablaze, fueling our businesses and weakening foreign business so we could start competing with them again. As far as Trump is concerned the dollar is god and he intends to make sure his children are always united with god.

Was it for the money? You're dammmmed right but in his mind it a moral issue not one of greed. He's rich because he's good and god blessed Trump with his greeness because Trump has always served his god.

It's really pretty common among the wealthy and those who have enough wealth to look down on others who don't. You've never been snubbed until you're snubbed by the members at The Breakers in Palm Beach.

What are the odds Trump does not seek re-election in 2020?

0%. Trump will seek reelection and get it***

Same odds they gave him in 2016.***

I think FBcoach is giving him pretty good odds

Shuuu...it's Friday and Tiggy is on a roll.***

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I wish, but it won't happen***

I think he will not seek re-election...

Not sure how you'd define "going south" for him

A better question is will he shut the hail up whenever he

He will run.

He was doing all that before becoming president.

I believe the closer to death we get the more...

You may have dipped over the edge a bit***

That doesn't prove you're exceptionally perceptive.

I just meant with Trump.

DC is full of people just like Trump.

No other gods before me

It's spelled N-A-R-C-I-S-S-I-S-T***

Even if he doesn't want the presidency any more

Trump is a tried and true narcissist.***
