Prediction: Trump will not be the Republican nominee in 2020
Trump is in the accelerating stages of dementia now and will not be the Republican nominee in 2020. As an example, his public statements this week were incoherent, unfocused word salad. His response to Macron’s statement to him yesterday at the G7 were embarrassing. Trump rambled about the nice weather during his last visit, said nothing of substance, and responded to nothing that Macron said, probably because he didn’t understand any of it. And his dementia is going to get increasingly worse and more obvious. We should prepare and plan for this. He is also a horrible excuse for a human being and the dementia will make all of that worse.
Behind the scenes, Republicans understand full well what is happening. That’s why they are so silent. Top Republican politicians want Trump gone as soon as possible, says a reliable source. Perhaps they feel no particular need to oppose Trump hard in public because they assume dementia is going to take him out of the race. That means the frontrunners for Republican nominee would be Pence, who has the charisma of a cardboard box, and Nikki Haley who is a two-faced snake like Sen. Collins from Maine. Pretends to be moderate. Isn’t. In the event of a non-Trump candidate, Democrats should still make the election be entirely about Trump. Let’s not let his enablers slither away.
