      1. Trump is not Republicans' best chance to win in 2020; he is a liability. 2. No R who forces Trump out against his will is going to win in 2020. 3. This leaves Rs with two unappealing choices: try to win in spite of Trump, or search for some way to make him want to leave.

      4. It was good for Rs on policy to win in 2016, but it would have been better in strictly partisan terms to lose to Hillary in 2016. 5. In 2020, losing will be bad in both policy & partisan terms. And, again, that's on Trump.

          6. The theory that Trump is uniquely suited to win in the Midwest ignores that he drives off more voters than he brings in. Note the GOP did really well in the Midwest downticket in 2010, 2014, & 2016 but terribly in 2018.

          That's sound analysis, but: I'm convinced that if the Dems win the W/ House in the short term they will so rig the voting rolls as to prohibit any Repub winning again in my lifetime. Should they also take the Senate (the last bastion) the country will become a giant California.

          If Hillary was president, we'd probably be talking about having 38 states and calling a constitutional convention for pretty much every topic people wanted. As it stands, the house is lost, and a couple of states are now split party so the gerrymander edge is dissipated too

          Your claim of his being a liability is unsupported by the facts. Trump net fav was -21% in Oct 2016 and -10% now. He is more popular today then when he won in 2016. Incumbency is also a formidable advantage for any candidate. Just come out and say you want old guard back.
