So Clinton edges Trump by a couple of points. Trump gets more electoral votes than Romney (and of course than McCain). Clinton has a terrible first two years and GOP rebounds big in 2018. Meanwhile Trump travels the country excoriating Clinton and actually developing a more polished approach. Becomes more comfortable with issues and arguments. Media talks about his more serious and mature approach. It’s 2019. GOP has Kasich, Cruz, Rubio, Walker, Cotton, Sasse, Scott, Haslam, Sandoval, Fiorina, Paul, Haley, and Thune all looking at the race, and maybe Paul Ryan. Trump and Pence announce they will run as ticket again. Trump makes a one term pledge. Does history repeat itself in 2020???????
