President Donald Trump looks likely to cruise to re-election next year under three different economic models Moody’s Analytics employed to gauge the 2020 race.

Barring anything unusual happening, the president’s Electoral College victory could easily surpass his 2016 win over Democrat Hillary Clinton, which came by a 304-227 count.

Moody’s based its projections on how consumers feel about their own financial situation, the gains the stock market has achieved during Trump’s tenure, and the prospects for unemployment, which has fallen to a 50-year low. Should those variables hold up, the president looks set to get another four-year term.

The modeling has been highly accurate going back to the 1980 election, missing only once.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We, the world, can not have another 4 years of Donald Trump. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH...the bigotry, the racism, the hatred must end now. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

That being said, there is one man, and one man only to restore decency, civility and dignity to our great land and that’s Mitt Romney. Get behind our movement to “nudge” Mitt to run. Buy a shirt and wear it proud. Show your support for the next President of the United States, America’s 46th President, Mitt Romney.

That's really grasping at straws. The economy has been sustained at a consumer level since inauguration, but the 2018 elections and Trump's approval rating indicates a landslide loss for him.

Hilarious that economic data analysts are using feelings a year out of the election rather than, you know, economic data about the economy. Latest PMI is still below 50 (PDF in link):
https://www.markiteconomics.com/Public/Home/PressRelease/6d5ffb41584d4c08a54706d85d3580b3

I think we're not officially in an industrial recession with 2 quarters of contraction. There's a good chance we'll have net economic recession in a year, but even if we don't Trump's numbers are a guaranteed loss. Now watch Democrats fuck it up.

Trump has already dragged everybody into a shit show 13 months out and is not leaving any room for any Democrat to gain any traction, outside of the ones already known to the public (Biden, Warren, Sanders).
It looks like he might've sunk Joe Biden 2020 enough to get the Democrats to nominate Elizabeth Warren, which means every wall street grifter, CEO and/or hedgefund manager will do anything in their power to keep him in power.
Bloomberg is also again considering a run in case Biden doesn't make it.

Unless they find the second JFK or Obama, the Democrats don't stand a chance.
He's pushing the Democrats to run on supporting Middle East wars, increasing taxes and green deal policies.

He'll be running on having ended 'The War on Terorr', Dow 40k, Kanye West at rallies, playing golf with Kim Jun Un, Elon Musk Mars missions and Mar-a-lago membership passes.
He'll probably think of some big construction project as well. My guess, a space elevator that China has to pay for.

Rudy will testify like Lewandowski did.
Trump will encourage him live on Twitter.

How the Democrats haven't figured out that no one deeply embedded in Trump World(TM) isn't totally on board with the dank agenda is beyond me.

The Democrats are playing a dangerous game. Pinning their hopes on a CIA whistle-blower with closed hearings.
They should've kept the process open because the needle to impeachment isn't going to move much now that they're turning this into a partisan issue and Fox News can scream DEEP STATE all day.
Meanwhile as the media has nothing to report on Trump impeachment they instead turn to Hunter Biden who sunk himself.

If Beto or some other Democrat feels cheeky and calls out Biden tonight, the Trump campaign can play that tape all day every day on the Facebook record player.

During Tuesday’s debate, the DNC will use a software tool called Trendolizer to track trending disinformation. Trendolizer — think TweetDeck but with lots of fancy graphs — scrapes data from social media and across the internet to surface hidden content that is on the cusp of going viral. Its “Hotness” filter alerts users when something new is about to take off. If it’s potentially damaging misinformation about a Democratic candidate, DNC Tech flags it for its “counter-disinformation contact” on the affected campaign and recommends that they reach out to one of the third-party fact-checkers that Facebook relies upon—such as The Associated Press, Poynter, or FactCheck.org.

A fact-check is crucial: Once it’s attached to the news, Facebook will adjust its algorithm and diminish the spread of the story. (In guidance to the campaigns, the DNC is careful to note that “Checkyourfact.com, which is owned in part by Tucker Carlson, is another Facebook third-party fact-checker that the DNC is not in communication with.”)

The DNC flag-and-respond operation is more art than science. Campaigns can ask the DNC to turn the dials up and down on Trendolizer to figure out how much a "misinfo" threat has to spread before they are alerted. It’s up to the individual campaigns to figure out whether it’s worth worrying about the fake story or crafting a response.

“When contemplating a response to disinformation narratives, campaigns should consider whether misinformation has reached a tipping point where the costs of ignoring the issue are higher than the costs of the amplification that a response might generate,” the DNC privately instructed presidential campaigns on Monday.

In a previous email the party argued that a good indication of when to respond is when “the information has left closed communities,” such as 4chan or a fringe blog or social media account. (The DNC views the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., as a frequent conveyor belt for disinformation, pulling it out of closed communities and dumping it into the mainstream media, and so they watch his account carefully.)

Quote

After the September debate, DNC Tech sent out a summary of suspicious activity it spotted by monitoring Twitter. The party found that a Twitter thread by Beto O’Rourke was the target of “dogpiling,” the technical term for when trolls coordinate on one thread to dominate the candidate’s mentions. The Beto dogpile concerned a popular meme that says Beto is a furry.

Not everything deserves a response. When the DNC reached out and reported the furry dogpile to Beto’s campaign, the DNC staffer noted, “I haven’t flagged this activity to Twitter as I think the backlash to any action taken by them might be worse than the current activity.”

In addition to the dogpile, the DNC reported after the September debate “[a]t least three new right-wing narratives targeting candidates,” and that there was a “direct threat to one candidate, which Twitter removed in the early morning following the debate.”

The O’Rourke campaign recently faced a false story more concerning to them than the (mostly) harmless furry meme. Last month, a story spread online that the Odessa shooter, who killed seven people, had a Beto sticker on his car. “It’s the perfect kind of misinfo because it seems possible,” said Rob Flaherty, O’Rourke’s digital director. “It would undercut the whole narrative. If it were a reporter, we could just call them and they would issue a correction.”

Biggest fail possible at the debates is if Bernie has a heart attack, is taken off stage with medics, and then later Biden tries to put Bernie on the spot forgetting he had a heart attack.

Lmao, dogpiling Beto is just @comfortablySmug and his followers posting: "Beto is a furry" to all his posts.
He also sends out his 'minions' to fuck-up every Twitter poll.

That they need Trendolizer software to figure this out is stupid af. The left has completely lost the battle in cyberspace.
The only remotely successful online campaign is crypto autisty Yang and mostly because rightwing trolls support getting $1000 and a goth gf so his memes have traction.

POLITICO BREAKING NEWS

Bernie Sanders is recovering from his heart attack. Joe Biden is under siege, and laying into Donald Trump. And the entire Democratic presidential field has become consumed with the House's impeachment inquiry into Trump.

Twelve candidates are participating in tonight's debate in Ohio — we're watching to see how candidates will respond to all the political circumstances beyond their control, as well as how frontrunners Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren handle attacks from their competitors. Plus, here are the three touchy topics the candidates will have to tackle.

Follow along with our live chat and analysis.

The most recent Democratic debate before tonight was a full month ago, and it should not be a challenge for moderators with CNN and the New York Times to make news with their questions.

The Ukraine whistleblower, the Hunter Biden uproar, the launch of impeachment proceedings, the U.S. policy reversal in Syria — all have emerged as all-consuming stories since the last time Democratic candidates gathered on a single stage.

From a viewer’s perspective, three hours can be a very long slog — as we learned at previous encounters in the four months Democrats have been debating — but at least the long march this time should be over fresh ground.
