Let’s talk about Donald Trump and whether he’ll get to keep his job.
In 2016 I correctly predicted — against very long odds — that Trump would win the presidency because voters were disappointed with the economy. Readers, understandably given the polls in the months leading up to the election, thought I was crazy.
But, it turns out, I was right.
So here are a couple of new predictions as we prepare for the election. Trump will win another four-year term unless the economy makes a sudden U-turn. But time is running out for that to happen.
My next prediction? Bernie Sanders will be the Democratic candidate picked to beat him. I hear you, I’m crazy.
Here’s my thinking: the economy will stay relatively strong so Trump will be hard to beat anyway. And once the full report comes out detailing the shenanigans during the last Presidential election, people will realize that the Sanders’ campaign was as much a target of dirty tricks as Trump’s.
In other words, the Democrats will owe Sanders the candidacy. And since the Democrats will also realize the next election is a lost cause no matter who they put up Sanders will be their sacrificial lamb.
Bernie’s running mate? Well, it won’t be someone the Dems think can win in 2024.
Remember, you heard it here first. And hey, even if I’m wrong, my batting average for the two elections will be better than any of the pundits on TV.
