Reagan beat Mondale by about 18 pts in the popular vote (58.8-40.6)

Even if Trump were somehow to duplicate that result (spoiler: it’s not happening), I think he would still lose California, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Hawaii, Vermont and DC. That’s 115 electoral votes, IMHO, that simply will Not support any GOP nominee in 2020, no matter what.

I can see Maryland, Hawaii, and Vermont occassionally going to a very popular pub candidate. Those other People's Republics are probably lost forever.

I hope he does a better job of listening to his staff if this happens.

Doing some musing earlier (Yes, with headphones on, chain saw in hand),

The last scenario we had that would closely proximate what is currently projected-

First term R President, a "Cowboy" gonna blowed up the Country, Wreck all of humanity
Vs. the former VP of possibly the most failed (to that point, anyway) President in our history.

Hunh. Damn, skippy!

Run Crazy Joe, Run! I'll write a kids book

Trump has got the balls to actually use footage of Biden grabbing women and young girls in attack ads too.

W, Juan Mac, and Romney would have said those were low brow and would have cringed.

I just don’t think Biden has a prayer of getting past the early primaries.

People forget, he’s tried this twice before. Once in his mid-40s and once in his mid-60s. He struck out both times. What’s changed now, other than the fact that he’s in his mid-70s?

Sure did. Just another reason to kick the UN the hell outa here.

I mean, for the left it was ok for O'Blama and Kerry to cut a deal with freekin' Iran, no? That same Iran that wants every Israeli dead and sponsors terrorism and that wee little incident of 52 Americans held hostage for 444 days? The left should just do us all a favor and perpetually wear their depends until 2024...

Negotiations? What kind of crack are you smoking? Trump doesn't need to negotiate. He's already been given a stool to sit on at the axis of evil table. Yes Putin wants to be on the national stage. You know he gave Trump orders to set this up when they held their private meeting in Russia. Like a good puppet, he's following through. Can't wait to see Trump throw America under the bus again at this press conference, just to lie a day later and change his story.

To weak troll. Not even interesting. You lose.

Honestly? I don't have a second favorite country.
