February 25, 2019 at 6:18 am EST By Taegan Goddard
Late last month, more than 100 major Republican donors gathered at the Trump International Hotel for a presentation from the presidents campaign manager Brad Parscale and other top political hands on their plans to keep the White House in 2020 after a brutal midterm election, Politico reports.
But several of the GOP contributors left the two-day retreat in Washington dissatisfied, dogged by essentially the same concern: The president doesnt really have a strategy to win reelection.
They are chiefly worried about how he intends to prevail again in the Rust Belt states that voted for Trump in 2016, but where Democrats performed strongly in last years midterms. But there are also concerns about whether the presidents fundraising apparatus is up to the task, and whether Trump will trample on any strategy or message the campaign does develop, as he frequently does.

It worked to perfection for them in 2016, so why change a 'winning' formula?
