Seven Top Political Predictions For 2020

“Check these out.

And share your own thoughts.

1.) President Donald Trump is acquitted in the Senate. The House will send over its two articles of impeachment in February, after a bunch of stalling and a lot of noise in January. After a three-week trial, the Senate will vote to acquit — with 51 against impeachment and 49 for it. That’s well short of the 67 guilty votes needed for removal from office.


2.) Massive protests will occur across the nation. The Left will gear up after the Trump impeachment acquittal, during the trial as well, and for the entire political season past the conventions to execute the biggest protests this nation has seen since the Vietnam War.

Some of those demonstrations will become violent. Much like the protests of 1968, they will backfire against their intended beneficiaries — as voters are repulsed by the mayhem and vote for the law-and-order candidate, President Trump.

3.) Joe Biden will win the Democratic nomination. After a hectic primary season and a strong challenge from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the former vice president will win the Democrat nod on the first ballot in Milwaukee at the Democratic National Convention in July. Before that, he’ll put the nomination in his pocket with a strong showing in the March Super Tuesday primary contests. Biden will choose Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as his running mate.

4.) Stocks will climb. The economy will continue to hum and the stock market will break new records every quarter. There will be no recession, despite moves from some in the financial sector and the media to convince the U.S. public that one is imminent.

5.) The nation will remain at peace.Though there will be national security challenges, most notably in Iraq, the country will not go to general war in 2020. The president’s policy of non-intervention in foreign adventures combined with the political sensitivity of a war in an election year will see to that.

6.) The GOP will gain. The GOP will retain the Senate, picking up two seats there, and gain in the House, picking up a total of 10 seats there. The Republicans will also flip two governorships and the control of one state legislature.

7.) President Trump will be re-elected. Due to the strong economy he’s delivered in his first term and all of the other promises he’s kept — and due to disastrous debate performances by Democrat nominee Joe Biden — Trump will win re-election to a second term in the White House by gaining 290-298 electoral votes. He will lose the popular vote by approximately two million because of widespread election fraud in New York, California, and Illinois.

Seven Top Political Predictions for 2020

 

Yes if Giuliani has his way. He says he has the goods. Dems are so corrupt it may not even matter though.

I wish, but I doubt it's going to happen.

 

What about the chances of the House flipping?

 

FYI, these are predictions from Wayne Dupree.com, not my own.

 

Don Surber's 7 predictions:

"ITEM 19: On New Year's Eve, my 2020 official predictions:

1. President Trump carries 30 to 35 states on his way to re-election. At a minimum, he carries the 30 states he carried in 2016. The 5 possible adds are Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire and New Mexico.

As Ohio goes, so will the nation and it is solidly Republican now.

2. Republicans will keep the Senate. My guess is they will have a net gain of 3 senators.

3. The House picture is fuzzy right now.

4. The economy will hit 4% GDP growth as new trade agreements with Red China, Canada, Mexico, Japan and South Korea kick in. Companies are looking for suppliers outside Red China.

Look for trade agreements in 2020 with a post-Brexit Britain, Vietnam, and maybe the ABC countries of South America (Argentina, Brazil and Chile). The 2+2 talks with India also seem promising.

5. I am tepid on the stock market. The Total Market Value of American companies is now 144% of the GDP. I see a midyear correction of 10% to 15%. The press will cheer, again to their great disappointment as the stocks will rebound.

But history shows big growth following a year like this year's huge growth. Also it is a presidential re-election year. My advice as always is watch what Warren Buffett does.

6. John Durham will notch up minor indictments of minor players but it will be the conservative version of the Mueller Report. The deep state specialized in CYA.

7. Peace in Afghanistan. I explained this in greater detail on Saturday."

 

I'm of the opinion that this corruption is so widespread and so deep that Barr and Durham and nearly all the Senators in the know and maybe even Trump will balk at carrying out all the indictments literally for the sake of preserving the institutions. I can only imagine the avalanche of appeals from incarcerated federal inmates once they get an inkling of an idea of how this corruption could have/would have affected their case.

Talk about a nightmare for the U.S. judicial system.

 

Karl Rove Makes Predictions for the 2020 Election

"...The former adviser to President George W. Bush said he thinks there will be a contested convention.

“Pete Buttigieg wins Iowa, but no Democrat arrives at the convention with a majority,” he wrote in The Wall Street Jouranl. “The nomination requires delegates switching sides after the initial first vote or a second ballot where superdelegates are permitted to participate. I pick Mr. Biden to win, but I’d take the field if I could."

He also predicted that Trump will again fall behind in the popular vote due to Democratic efforts to focus on California and New York, but will win Florida and Ohio.

“Because Democrats are concentrated in California and New York, Mr. Trump trails in the popular vote. Mr. Trump wins Florida. Ohio, now redder, isn’t in play. Iowa swings Democratic. Mr. Trump does better than in 2016 among African-American and Latino voters," he wrote.

“The election again comes down to Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin," Rove continued. "Mr. Trump must win at least two. They’re settled by a wider margin than the 77,744 votes of the 13,940,912 these Blue Wall states cast in 2016. Victory depends on Mr. Trump’s discipline and whom the Democrats nominate. If it’s Mr. Biden, Mr. Trump has an uphill fight; if not, the president wins."

Despite Democrats like Rep. Tulsi Gabbard saying she believes impeachment will help Republicans take back the House, Rove thinks the gavel will stay in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hands.

“Republicans keep the Senate and Democrats the House, both with smaller majorities,” he said."
