In 2016, the Washington establishment and a huge majority of the mainstream press thought that the possibility of Donald Trump beating Hillary Clinton was out of the question. They were all proven to be totally wrong.

The reason Trump will celebrate another victory in 2020 is because of his record of policy accomplishments over the last four years, despite having to deal with Democrats opposing him at every opportunity. We are now experiencing one of the most prosperous times in our history with unemployment at 50-year lows, the total number of black, Hispanic and Asian workers at all time highs, criminal justice reform, the heartland of America revived with high-paying manufacturing jobs for the middle class, energy independence, lower illegal border crossings, NAFTA and China trade policy totally revamped after decades of one-sided trade policy, the military rebuilt, less government regulation permitting small business to prosper and grow, a record number of conservative judges who pledge to abide by the Constitution and all-time record stock market highs, permitting retirement accounts and 401K savings to make every one more financially secure.

As of yet I haven’t seen or heard any of the Democrat candidates’ proposals on how to improve on Trump’s record of accomplishments. All the Democrats have done was to say they were going to impeach Trump from the day he was sworn into office.
