Here’s Trump’s wildest election prediction

President Donald Trump loves to play pundit and make lots of predictions about his own political future. His wildest 2020 prediction, though, is that Republicans will take back the House of Representatives. In his latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains why Trump’s big bet is a bust.

    1. Hillary Clinton is made temporary AG and signs request to court for the arrest of co-conspirator Donald Trump in payoff case that sent Cohen to prison.

  1. “A politician thinks about the next election, a statesman about the next generation !”
    That’s what Thomas Jefferson had said !

    1. @cbsundance – Good luck. – but please keep that testing going. This is a Global Pandemic not a political one. Rgds.

    2. @Sparky Sparky I saw a Youtube clip of another guy who said he was making a lot more under trump, also. Of course, the irony that he was something like a loan collector who does well when others lose everything was completely lost on his smug self.

    1. It will fortunately be over soon, one way or the other.
      Donald John Trump is just about to be voted out of office and to be indicted and prosecuted on a virtual landslide of criminal charges.
      Unless a blood clot takes care of the gluttonous tub of lard first of course.
      Not all heroes wear capes.

    2. Matthew 7:15-17 KJV
      Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
      Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
      Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

    1. @Ellen Rimmer nah! Type the funniest thing your leader said and if it is funnier I will concede and vote for George Biden.

    1. Joe” Corrupt” Biden has sold his soul to the devil, like 40 years ago, and the hated media hides it. Now, that’s fk up.

    1. There is absolutely no proof that Trump and Russia have worked together. Its actually been proven false. Do your own research. Also, its shown that the Biden family as a whole has been using the “Power” of thier name to benefit themselves through hurting Americans

    2. @Katalyst lol Wow, what projection. Considering how the grifter Trump and his family have abused their influence to the point of turning our country into a virus-infested, economically-stunted, racially-charged hotbed of crap in 3 years and 10 months, I’d say Biden looks like a saint compared to his unworthy opponent, the soon-to-be-ex-president named Trump.

    1. Fools. This isn’t going to age well; I’ll copy it to my hard drive so you scumbags can’t run from it.

    1. The far left have openly stated that they will eliminate free speech, abolish 2A and get rid of electoral college. How can any self respecting democrat vote for that??? Are you seriously not recognising that this election is bigger than red or blue? The dems have lost their party to far left radicals who will erase America. You realise cubans swim through literal minefields to escape what those radical dems want to force on you? That is not democracy. The demoratIc Party needs to rid themselves of radical leftists and return to more center politics

  2. “A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices.”
    _George Orwell

    1. @G S lmao😂 he had business all over the world including China before he ran president. Is that a problem?

    1. @Howard Barnett Agreed! He’s awesom he seems like a cool guy. I just make fun of his voice because have one like his

    1. Biden referred to himself as Harris’s running mate, referred to his wife as “Joe Biden,” called the Proud Boys the “Poor Boys,” has been proven to use a teleprompter to answer basic questions during media interviews, has said the Covid has killed “200 million people nationwide”, has said what he would do if he was re-elected as president (he was never president,) couldn’t even recite the Pledge of Allegiance during a “rally” on September 23, and a WHOLE LOT MORE but uhhh, yeah, Trump’s cognitive is declining, let’s go with that (even though Trump took a cognitive test, whereas Biden refused)

  3. This guy’s got the most irritating voice in broadcasting! I’ve yet to be able to listen to a full segment.

  4. There’s just so much more to life than we can even begin to imagine, and so very much we’ve ignored and completely misunderstood. The way the world has become is really no surprise – something needed to happen to slow things down and hopefully bring the world to its senses. In his teachings, Nichiren Daishonin states that, although the lion is the king of beasts that cannot be beaten, a tiny parasite can enter its body and easily destroy it – it’s a perfect example of the world right now, methinks. Perhaps after this Nature will gain a whole new kind of respect and the world will become a far better place – humankind will rise to a whole new level and there will be at least some peace for all the other creatures as well, especially where humans are concerned – we have no right to kill and steal the flesh of our fellow sentient beings, be it bats or livestock etc, nor to make money from doing it.

    Instead of fame, power and wealth the main goals need to become compassion, and the protection and respect for all other living things, including each other – sincere gratitude for what we have and the chance we’ve all had to exist. I believe they are some of the main qualities that we all need to manifest in order to survive this dreadful predicament we’ve brought upon ourselves – and to avoid more of the same in the future, or even worse. We need to earn a chance to survive the effects from our past causes, by making new and far better causes now and in the future, and to stick to them. We humans will need to learn from all this to survive and carry on – we need to realise once and for all, that no matter what we choose to believe or not – Nature will always have the final say…

    Something else that Nichiren wrote regarding when a situation arises that points to the end of our life and we want to survive it = just prayer may not be enough – we need to present a good enough positive reason for overcoming our situation and living on to be worthy of such. This is such an important time and opportunity for us to awaken others to the Mystic Law Itself – it’s such a vital opportunity.

    For those who may think what I’m saying is BS etc, please think about how evil Japan was until it was brought to its knees in WW2 – it changed dramatically and became one of the most peaceful and respectful countries on Earth. No, it didn’t become perfect, but it became so much better, mainly thanks to all the people who struggled in the aftermath to spread the Mystic Law, when freedom of religion was finally declared in Japan. Yes, today the Law has been taken advantage of, misused and twisted, I know, and many have been using It instead to manipulate others into adhering to self-idolisation and the idolisation of others etc, and now everything’s becoming a mess again.

    It’s so vitally important right now to go back to the originally written teachings Niochiren left and put things right. The fertilizer for growth and improvement is all around us right now, and it’s another extraordinary opportunity to spread the awareness of the Mystic Law Myoho-Renge-Kyo Itself – not just in Japan, but throughout the whole world. As I’m sure people you would know about, such as Boy George, Tina Turner and Orlando Bloom, just to name just a few, would wholeheartedly agree that chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo can bring forth inner wisdom, strength and good fortune that can allow us to change any poison into medicine. Peace to you all and thank you for reading this. My prayers are with you all – let’s come together like never before and win this war.

  5. “Hopes”, then Hillary would be president right now.
