I feel like it’s becoming more likely that Trump will have a Republican challenger in 2020. I mean, I think the moment he was elected with the majority of the country hating him this was a possibility, but things have only gotten worse. Of course a lot could change between now and then, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Sasse or Graham run against him.

What numbers are you basing “the majority of the country hating him” on? I haven’t seen any specific polls or graphs or pies that lay this out. Any links?

That bit was just some obvious hyperbole. Fact is Trump has never once had a majority approval. Literally check any poll.

I wanted to give you the chance to say so, it was only fair. Look how many politicians in this country have a low approval rate and they’re still in their jobs. It’s going to take way more than hyperbole on anyone’s part to challenge his Presidency and right now the only abundance of anything I’ve seen is hyperbole.

No disrespect meant to you at all.

None taken. But Trump’s popularity is on shaky ground. For a president to start their term without a majority approval is almost unheard of. Not to mention he only had 45% of the vote to begin with. Democrats know that pretty much the only thing they need to win 2020 is someone with less baggage than Clinton. If Republicans realize that too, then we’ll see a challenger.
