Michael Goodwin, NYPost: Democrats and Republicans agree — Donald Trump will be re-elected
It’s a mixed marriage of a certain kind. He was a Trump supporter all along and she detested the man.
But these days, they agree on one big thing: The president will be re-elected. Easily.
“Easily?” I asked, making sure I heard them correctly. Yes, they insisted, with her nodding as he said Democrats had gone bonkers and voters would respond by giving Trump four more years.
The recent Manhattan conversation would be insignificant except that it dovetails with national trends, namely a growing belief that Dems are not coming back to this world anytime soon. The election is still a long way off, but there is no sign that the radicalism surging through the party can be put back in the bottle before the election. What we see now is likely what voters will see in 2020.

WNU Editor: A lot can happen between now and election day next year, but what I find interesting is how other countries are viewing President Trump's re-election chances. In Russia, the belief is that President Trump will win, and they are the exception. In China, the general belief (at least from the people I know) is that President Trump will be trounced. In Europe, the consensus is that President Trump will be defeated. In Canada .... no one can even fathom another four years of Trump. As to what do I think .... if the economy continues to grow with low unemployment and real wage gains, coupled with a major international accomplishment like withdrawing most (if not all) U.S. forces from Afghanistan, President Trump is going to be a difficult opponent to defeat.
