Warning Signs for Both Parties In 2020

November 15, 2018 · 12:17 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Doug Sosnik gives Axios his warning signs for Republicans in 2020:

  • “They are on the wrong side of history and demographics with a white male strategy.”
  • “Mueller/Southern District of New York/congressional investigations: What people miss is how disabling these investigations are for the president, as well as the White House staff. (Take it from me: I had six years of investigations while in the Clinton White House).”

His warning signs for Democrats:

  • “There is no obvious candidate or even close to an obvious candidate. That’s a huge problem.”
  • “It will not, even under the best of circumstances, be easy to take on candidate Trump. He relishes the fights.”
  • “The Democrats cannot, under any circumstances, allow the anti-Trump vote to splinter, which could enable Trump to get re-elected despite a majority of Americans opposing his presidency.”
