2020 Presidential Election thread

Calling it right now: (I was the first to predict Trump)

2020 race- Pete and Kamala vs. Trump and Nikki Haley (I dont think Trump and Pence can win against that lineup but with a female VP they can)

 

 

It would make sense for the DNC to use Pete and Kamala simply because that way they can cross off items on the identity politics checklist. Essentially killing three birds with one stone: gay man/woman/black woman. 
But I think Warren is who they're going to go for. Tulsi Gabbard might play off the dark horse scenario, too.

I don't think Trump will get rid of Pence simply because he'll want to keep the religious right section of his base. I think Nikki Haley is currently being groomed for the position but she's not there yet. 

I really don't want Trump to win but I'm not sure that's even relevant because then we'll just be jumping from one dumpster fire to another. There's no Gary Johnson to vote for this time so ... I don't know... might just write somebody in.

I think that the VP candidate on the Dem side is going to be a women 100%.  DNC wont want a women POTUS candidate.  

Haley makes sense to switch to.  Gets their boxes checked off.  As for Trump being a dumpster fire politically......who cares, he has the economy rolling and my retirement accounts are screaming along.

Have there been any rumors about Nikki being Trump's VP candidate?  Everything I have seen form the Trump 2020 campaign has Pence as his running mate...

I am not sure if Nikki would even want to be paired with Trump.  She is a strong candidate by herself.

My money would be on her not wanting to be tarnished by the Trump name and that she is 100% running in 2024.

And also relevant to this thread, did y'all see Beto campaigning in Mexico...LOL

I can't remember an incumbent switching VP's for re-election.  Also, I'm not sure Trump could find anyone else to take the job!

LOL, it's brilliant!  He was fading hard, and now this stunt will get him a ton of media coverage.  Also, the next time immigration comes up in debate, he's going to say how he's the only one who went down to meet with the asylum seekers.  So then all the other Dems are going to have to follow suit.

...and it's going to make for some great attack ads for Republicans.  You can't do what Beto did and then claim that you're not about open borders.

Yes because treating these people like they are in petting zoos just for a photo op is the humane thing to do  >.>

Beto might be one of the few people who could actually be worse than Trump.  While Trump is socially immature, Beto actually kind of seems child-like.  Also, I think Beto really is a moron.

Really?  He is an international business man.  I hardly doubt it.

He's a petulant manchild. It is what it is.

FDR did it every time. You do have to go back to the 19th century for others that switched them out. Lincoln switched his too. 

But, I agree, I doubt Trump drops Pence. He has been a loyal soldier to him and sure up the religious groups. 

So... Cory Booker personally escorted five "asylum seekers" across the border.

Oh, and they've already been sent back across the border before. Not sure if he was aware of that or not.
