Actually, it’s more like the Right<\/i> has a
\nHUGE problem come 2020!<\/strong><\/em><\/h1>\n

Submitted by The Armchair Political Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n

There is truly something very wrong with the way that the Republican Party is approaching the 2020 POTUS election.<\/p>\n

This analysis especially concerns the way in which President Trump is approaching his re-election campaign.<\/p>\n

Massive Censorship of the Right<\/h3>\n

First, there is the problem of the Right<\/em> being censored like there’s no tomorrow by Big Social Media<\/em> and Big Tech<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Were it not for the Alt Media<\/em> working 24\/7 in the run-up to the 2016 POTUS election, Donald Trump would never have won.<\/p>\n

Why, then, has Trump completely ignored the patently unlawful and unconstitutional censorship of the Alt Right<\/em>?\u00a0 Yes, he tweets about it, but he does absolutely nothing to reverse the increasing censorship taking place all over the Internet.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n

Election Reform<\/h3>\n

President Trump talked a LOT about election reform right after his victory but, again, has done nothing to carry out the reforms necessary to avoid a train wreck in 2020.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n

Given the obvious defects of the election system infrastructure and inherently flawed electoral process, the Democrats will easily steal more elections in 2020 than they did during the 2018 midterms.\u00a0 And that’s a LOT of stolen elections!<\/p>\n

In point of fact, the U.S. Presidential Election Process is so easily hacked and manipulated that the Democrats will not resist the temptation to steal the POTUS election anyway they can.<\/p>\n

Trump’s nationwide constituency has shrunk<\/h3>\n

There is no question that the longer President Trump is in office, the more his voters in 2016 have become disappointed…some of whom feel profoundly betrayed.<\/p>\n

In fact, a large segment of the electorate who voted for Trump will simply not show up in 2020.\u00a0 Even though most feel his campaign promises were sincerely made, they now see how ineffectual he is in MAGA.<\/p>\n

The Trump voting demographics have consequently shrunk considerably.\u00a0 For instance, the Independents and political center will not vote for him like they did in 2016.\u00a0 Many will not show up at the voting booth; others will vote third party.\u00a0 Then there are those who will flip back to a Democrat like Beto (the purposeful white Obama) if he’s nominated.<\/p>\n

All anyone has to do is read the comments on any of the large Alt Media<\/em> websites like ZeroHedge<\/strong> to see that the vast majority of those folks have gotten off the Trump train— FOREVER!\u00a0 This specific shift represents a disaster-in-the-making for Trump.\u00a0 How he addresses this particular challenge means the difference between victory and defeat—case closed right there!<\/p>\n

War Cabinet<\/h3>\n

First and foremost, Trump has appointed a war cabinet in direct violation of his oft-repeated campaign promise to stop the warmongering.\u00a0 Why did he do that?<\/p>\n

In fact, he has surrounded himself with a hardcore warmongering cabal of Neocons who started all the wars since 9\/11.<\/p>\n

His highly misguided forays into Venezuela have only thrown LOTs of fuel on this fire of voter dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n

Full Repeal of Obamacare<\/h3>\n

Obamacare is still in place and was promised to be terminated often during the 2016 campaign season.\u00a0 Why is it still here?<\/p>\n

The nation continues to be crushed by healthcare costs that the ACA only increases as time goes on.\u00a0 Soon it will be too long established to be gotten rid of.<\/p>\n

Voters are still paying the repugnant ACA mandate tax for 2018 as Trump was unable to make its repeal retroactive.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n

The Wall<\/h3>\n

The wall is still not built even though massive amounts of time and energy and resources have been directed toward the prospect of its construction.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n

Mexico will not be paying for the wall as was promised.\u00a0 Why not?<\/p>\n

More importantly, the border wall and security system will never be built while Trump is in office.\u00a0 The Democrats will not permit it as long as he’s President.\u00a0 So how will anything change during a second term in office for Trump’s wall?<\/p>\n

Iran Deal<\/h3>\n

This is one promise that Trump did keep and he did so at the expense of world peace.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n

If there was one promise that was really made to Israel and not to the American people, revoking the Iran Deal was it.\u00a0 What purpose did breaking such an important agreement serve?\u00a0 How was it advantageous for the U.S. citizenry?<\/p>\n

In no way did leaving the Iran Nuclear Deal help MAGA.\u00a0 What it did do was make the United States a much less trustworthy partner in the world community of nations.\u00a0 This single foreign relations fiasco has further alienated America from friends and foes alike.<\/p>\n

Tax Cuts<\/h3>\n

Here is one of the very few so-called accomplishments that Trump did pull off in his first 2 years.<\/p>\n

However, to hear the middle class taxpayers tell the story, the tax cuts did not show up in 2019.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 In fact, the tax bill has gone up appreciably for most, and they are NOT happy about it.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the wealthy have benefited substantially from that bipartisan tax bill.\u00a0 Really, will the Democrats and RINOs ever approve a tax bill that does not enrich the wealthy and powerful… at the expense of the America’s working class?!<\/p>\n

North American Free Trade Agreement<\/h3>\n

Yes, where NAFTA was effectively cancelled, it was replaced by the USMCA.<\/p>\n

Those who are initiated in the arcana of trade agreements know that the USMCA only facilitates the establishment of the North American Union<\/em>.\u00a0 This reality alone spells disaster for the American people.\u00a0 Why did Trump push the USMCA and sign it?<\/p>\n

The best way to understand how perilous the USMCA truly is is to understand who it was that forged the new deal with both Canada and Mexico.\u00a0 CLUE<\/strong>: It was the banksters, first, second and third.<\/p>\n

Border deal to avert government shutdown<\/h3>\n

Back to the border wall.\u00a0 Very few patriots are aware, but the border deal approved by Congress and signed by President Trump in February contains language that goes in direct contradiction to what was promised during the campaign season.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n

In fact, so many concessions were made to the Democrats regarding the border wall, illegal immigration, DACA and anchor babies that the fight is now lost for all practical purposes.\u00a0 The POTUS folded and very few even know it.\u00a0 The initiated have called that legislation a gross betrayal of Trump’s base.<\/p>\n

And, because that 1,159-page bipartisan border compromise was so long, it’s quite unlikely that it will be revisited or researched by the congressional intelligentsia so that the layman is properly informed about the giveaways by the prez.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

President Trump gives no indication that any of these major hot-button issues is a big deal for 2020, and yet they are.\u00a0 And, he will likely avoid each of them at his peril.<\/p>\n

Whereas the 2016 election cycle was about two things primarily, 2020 will have a completely different voting dynamic.<\/p>\n

First, the Right<\/em> was never so deeply determined to defeat a downright dangerous, demented and deranged candidate in the person of Hillary Clinton.\u00a0 This 2016 ingredient triggered massive voting participation by conservatives everywhere.\u00a0 Not only is Clinton not running in 2020, the Democrat nominee will be a real centrist who will not enrage half of the electorate.<\/p>\n

Secondly, Candidate Trump will be front and center right up until November 3, 2020.\u00a0 The Left<\/em> hated him in 2016, hates him more today, and will move Heaven and Earth to see him gone—YESTERDAY!.\u00a0 His every day in the White House will only intensify the efforts by the Left<\/em> to get him out of the Oval Office.\u00a0 Hence, this ever-seething hatred will translate to a massive vote in 2020 by liberals everywhere.<\/p>\n

These two weighty circumstances will work decisively against Trump, and conversely for the Democrat candidate in a big way.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, President Trump will have four long years to prove what he can do… and show what he cannot do.\u00a0 The more he struts his stuff, the more successes he may have, but the more failures will also occur.\u00a0 Because of the unparalleled governmental paralysis, the message being sent to the body politic is that there will be no collaborative governance between the Trump administration and the Democrats in Congress.<\/p>\n

Why, pray tell, will voters — on the left, right, and center — support such an abysmal state of affairs, particularly when the country is in such desperate condition.<\/p>\n

ANSWER:<\/strong> They won’t!\u00a0 At least the necessary plurality will not.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, Trump’s base will vote for him no matter what.\u00a0 But that base is shrinking by the day.\u00a0 And Trump has done essentially nothing substantive to stop the hemorrhaging of vital disaffected Trumpsters.<\/p>\n

There are critical initiatives that both President and Candidate Trump must take now that we are closing in on a year and a half before Election Day.<\/p>\n

Quite unfortunately for the Right<\/em>, it’s quite likely that none of those measures will be taken.\u00a0 And if they are, they will be a day late and a dollar short.<\/p>\n

There is one last crucial alternative that may be in the offing.\u00a0 What happens if President Trump does not run in 2020?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Editor’s Note<\/p>\n

The SOTN editor can attest to the seriousness of President Trump’s re-election predicament.\u00a0 A conservative Mainstream Media website just published a concerning article about a possibly legitimate poll that was just conducted here in Florida.\u00a0 Here it is:
