this is you in vanity fair what you wrote about potential per the mention of romney about romney/clinton voters. all in all back of the napkin math suggested around 5 million voters supported romney in 2012 but went on to back either clinton or conservative third party candidates in 2016. whether they stay home in 2020, vote democrat, vote their party or reluctantly vote for trump this time around the choices the center right voters make in 2020 will have an impact on the margins when margins are everything. you are not talking about people who voted for-donald trump and not movable. what about these romney to clinton voters? we re talking about maybe 5% of the american electorate that voted for romney but then for either clinton or a third party candidate in 2016. these are voters for whom their 2020 outcome is far from certain. romney/clinton voters as we ve been tracking their views since 2016 looked pretty strongly democratic.

i think they re scared to death of this president having any other name on a primary ballot against him because he is imploding day by day. i think they re afraid. that s not a sign of strength. you want to eliminate elections? you want to take away the will of the people? you don t do that if you re a big, strong guy. joe walsh is not right about a lot of things but he s kind of got a point there. while statistically none of the challengers is really threatening trump s renomination right now, consider this statistic. since 1976 no incumbent president who faced a serious primary challenge has gone on to win re-election. not one. here s ow vanity fair s peter hanby put it. if trump s fitness for office becomes a viable conversation piece among republicans and republican leaning independents for even just a few weeks next january or during the primaries in february they will have accomplished something that nobody in politics has even bothered to attempt this
