There's a good chance that Trump will win in 2020, but it will be the ugliest, nastiest, slimiest, close to illegal e******n in recent history.
This is a man that is pathologically unable to accept defeat, and who will employ any and all means to win, regardless of moral or legal requirements.
Kind of like Hillary did in her book, “what happened”?

If he loses, I predict that the US Marshals will have to physically evict him from the White House, after incredible damage to the country through many executive orders and pardons.
Can you provide an example of “incredible damage”? You do know that executive orders don’t carry any real weight, right? They’re not law.

These tactics will include (but not be limited to):
1.) The use of insults and name-calling on the national stage to demean and undermine his opponents.
So, no different than 2016, fair enough.
Quote:
2.) Efforts to interfere with both the delegate se******n process and the Democratic convention, so as to produce a candidate that will allow Trump to more easily win the general e******n.
Kind of like how Hillary stole superdelegates away from Bernie? Or maybe how Donna Brazile supplied debate questions ahead of the debate.
Quote:
3.) V**er suppression in many states, including refusing to register or allow certain people to v**e, and intimidating them from even showing up.
Kind of like what the Black Panthers did for Obama in ‘08 and ‘16?
Quote:
4.) Using gerrymandered districts to disproportionally skew the E*******l College, thus while losing the popular v**e, he wins the EC.
What did the SCOTUS recently say about gerrymandering? And nobody cares about the popular v**e, it’s not part of the game, 270 EC v**es is the bar, a lesson that should have been learned in ‘16. We’ll see.
Quote:
5.) Using the social media platforms, his campaign will spread f**e negative rumors and propaganda which will affect either v**er turnout or actual preferences.
I heard that’s already started. But, isn’t it up to each citizen to do their due diligence?
Quote:
6.) Per #4, external actors (such as Russia) will do much of the interference with massive BOT attacks and other cyber techniques.
Ohhh, that’s going to be the democrats fallback again after 2020? Yawn. Maybe the external influence will come from (a foreign) British MI6 agent, again!
Quote:
7.) Hacking of opponent's email and websites, probably with foreign assistance, then using it to discredit any opposition.
Like the DNC did in ‘16? Maybe this time the RNC will pay for a false dossier provided by a foreigner. Or, maybe someone will tap their phone lines this time.
Quote:
It will be ugly, despicable, and d********g …maybe even demonic. It will make most American's skin crawl.
Nah, just those on the east and west coasts
Quote:
It will go down in history as one of the most negative campaigns in history. Even many Republicans will cringe at the rhetoric and underhanded methods that we can expect.
Just like the ‘16 campaign... though most of the underhanded methods were used by the DNC. Poor Bernie...
Quote:
I can only hope (with not much expectation) that at some point some of the hard-core supporters of Trump will hold their noses, shelve their tribal instincts and v**e him out of office along with all the other sycophants that have enabled him in the first term.
Maybe I'm looking at this with rose-colored glasses, and hold the insane hope that he won't win, but my stark reading of what's coming tends to turn that rose color in my glasses to dark gray.
Hope against hope if you want, but, the Democratic candidates are already showing they haven’t figured out what it takes to win, and ensuring a sound defeat, again.
