Why Trump has already secured a second term no matter who his opponent is | TheHill

By Thomas A. Smith

My prediction for the 2016 race was based on a variety of observational and anecdotal evidence. I listened to Democrats, Republicans and independents across the U.S. I talked to people who consider themselves apolitical. I heard from taxi and Uber drivers, the Verizon man, stay-at-home moms, college grads, professionals, blue-collar delivery workers. And I watched nearly every rally of Trump and his opponents. 

Now, that same unscientific methodology has led me to conclude that Trump has already secured a second term no matter who his main opponent turns out to be.

Obviously, anything can happen, and I am not suggesting that those who support other candidates shouldn t bother to vote. But as Democrats narrow down their array of personalities and preferences, I think Trump s path to a second term has far more to do with him than with them.

I feel the same way. But PDT could catch coronavirus and die.
