Hello people,

I was curious who you think will win the American 2020 election. This can be anyone as some people might announce their campaign later. Please explain why you think this person would be fit for the position.

Who will win and who is fit for the position - two completely different things. "Fit" people rarely get nominated, let alone elected. So what's your real question?

Given the batshit polarization of the electorate Trump could win in 2020. There are probably 100m+ people who would be better fit for the position but don't underestimate Democrats' ability to find the one that isn't.

This 1000%

Our current political landscape isn't one which attracts the best people to the political lifestyle. It attracts the worst type of people, in my view at least, as I think the best people stay in the private sector to reap the rewards which are offered from being involved in the private sector.

In the 2016 election, any other Democratic candidate could have beaten Trump, without a doubt. The Democrats rigged it and picked Clinton, and failed horribly when their 'golden ticket' lost.

The entire Democratic party is dumb enough to pick someone who is exactly like her for 2020, an establishment candidate who is hated by the American people. They will do it, and they will lose to Trump.

I must say that if Trump does win the spin battle, and the regular battle on this trade war he's going to be the President until 2024. He tells people what they want to hear, and then does his best to enact on his promises. He's an entertainer, and people love that.
