Just a mediocre presidency.

Got that right me bucko!


So why all the obsession and hysteria over something mediocre?

because he has slipped through some very big cracks!!
This was actually predicted by an American academic way back in 1985 named Neil Postman in a book called "Amusing Ourselves to Death". Way before the internet age Postman predicted that information saturation through news media will make people more stupid and he thought the US public would eventually vote a populist leader based largely on their celebrity profile in the media than their qualification for the role of president. Many years later his prediction has come true.


That still has me asking, why all the obsession and hysteria over something mediocre?

Btw an ex movie star was the president going on his second term back in 1985, so that wasn't much of a prediction.

Reagan (give him some credit) had cut his teeth as governor of California for two terms which mean't he was at least partly qualified for the office of president.

Unless Trump really screws the pooch between now and then he has a 2nd term in the bag.
It'll be about the economy.

He already tried to screw over the poor with his "Trumpcare" plan.

Of course, people generally say "The economy is booming." when the RICH are getting richer.

By saying "It'll be about the economy.", you are essentially saying that Trump will win the next election if he helps big business. That makes perfect sense, since big businesses control the electoral process.

Crowdfunding real populists is the only thing that can break the cycle.

I think it's more about how many people have jobs in 2020 as opposed to 2016. If enough people feel like they're doing better financially, feel the nation is more financially secure, not worried about the company they earn from going under and all that, that's what will prompt them to vote for Trump. All the superfluous stuff the left goes on and on about isn't going to matter one bit, compared to what they consider financial security and prosperity with Trump at the helm.

So really the only hope the left has, is to figure out some way to destroy the economy lol.
