How Trump Can Win In 2020

Axios: “Over a 90-minute PowerPoint session at a hotel in Arlington, Va., on Thursday, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, campaign manager Brad Parscale and other senior Trump campaign officials presented dozens of national political reporters their theory of how Trump can win again in 2020.”

Key to the strategy is crushing the Never-Trumpers: “They’ve ‘remade’ the state parties in ‘the president’s image,’ per one official — with 42 state party chair elections since the 2018 midterms. The Trump campaign isn’t tolerating anti-Trump officials in state party leadership positions in 2020.”

Also important: “Tiny counties traditionally overlooked by candidates helped deliver Trump his 2016 victories in states like Wisconsin (where the smallest 48 counties = 22% of the statewide vote) and Pennsylvania (where the 45 smallest counties = 20% of the statewide vote)… They think they can work that dynamic next year in Minnesota, which Trump narrowly lost last time.”
