I found this comment at the New York Times. I thought it was interesting. He explains why President Fucktard Trump could win the election in 2020. I agree Trump will win unless the Democrats nominate Mike Bloomberg.

Why does Trump persist? Because on immigration in particular he is pushing policy positions that a substantial majority of Americans agree with. Most of the people who support him are not explicitly racist and many of them dislike both him as a person and the language he uses; nearly all object to separating families and putting kids in cages. But he crassly embodies the position that American citizens should have more rights in America than non-citizens. And to most Americans, even lifetime liberals like myself, that position (buffed out with nice rhetoric embracing our diverse citizenry) should be a foundation premise for every American politician. How we treat non-citizens is open to discussion, but the idea that American citizens should have more rights in our own country should not be. Democrats have allowed themselves to be painted as more concerned about being good global citizens than good American citizens and that is the single specific reason the hideous Donald Trump has a decent chance of being re-elected. Democrats, you can embrace diversity and giving preference to American citizens at the same time. It's not inconsistent. Do some polling. It's a winner.
