Will Trump be easier or harder to beat this time? [View all]

[thesquanderer]

*** Reasons it could be harder to defeat Trump this time:

... Much of Trump's own party establishment was speaking out against him last time, weakening support, but now they are all for him.

... Trump's fundraising is much stronger this time than last time

... People who were uneasy at the prospect of a Trump presidency last time may feel it wasn't as bad as they feared

... There is always the advantage of being an incumbent, including lots of free coverage

... People generally see the economy as strong

*** Reasons it could be easier to defeat Trump this time:

... There are Trump voters who are not happy with him (or were reluctant Trump voters in the first place) who may be inclined to vote differently this time.

... We probably won't have a candidate as unpopular (outside the base) as Hillary was

... We won't have a Comey surprise

... Seeing how close the election was (when so many expected Trump to lose), people may be less inclined to "waste" their anti-Trump votes on a third party
