These both echo sentiments I completely agree with.
Most American's are somewhat 'middle-off-the-road' in their beliefs. Trump won because enough folks were scared of Hilary that it swung the electoral college.
I have to admit that if President Trump would have opposed Obama for Obama's second term, I probably would have either stayed home, or voted D (shuddering), that is what I think President Trump. Thank goodness I wasn't faced with that decision.
I think if Joe Biden is the Dem's nominee, he would defeat President Trump - he's a 'middle-off-the-road' guy and probably doesn't scare many folks other than those whose primary focus are 2nd Amendment issues. He certainly doesn't rise to the specter of Hilary as President to the Democratic crossove voters that President Trump won last time.
Our only hope, IMO, is that President Trump decides not to run for a second term VERY SOON. Of course, that isn't going to happen. We are toast.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
