It will be perhaps the most important election of our lifetimes. President Trump is supported by more than 90% of the Republican Party right now. According to the polls, close to 90% of the Democratic Party despise Mr. Trump. So obviously the country is divided. The Democrats at this point do not have a clear frontrunner to challenge Donald Trump. Joe Biden continues to lead the polls, but he has problems. However, the former vice president has to be considered

the front runner to go up against the president. In 2016, Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton 306 to 232 in the Electoral College. Secretary Clinton won the popular vote, thanks to California. 270 electoral votes are needed to win the presidency. Donald Trump won 30 states back then, Hillary Clinton 20. Today, a look at the state shows a similar situation, the Democrats could take back Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, where the vote was extremely close in 16. But the president could win in New Hampshire, Nevada, and even Colorado, because of the good economy. Florida, Iowa, and Maine also may be in play, but most states remain entrenched. However, if the Democrats nominate,

a socialist like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, President Trump should win easily as Americans are not inclined to change the system that drastically. So what we are looking at next November is a presidential election that will be decided by a very few states. It is almost depressing to think that perhaps as many as 40 states really are spoken for right now. And therefore, the presidential candidates will not visit them that much, although the popular vote in California, New York, Illinois, all states that are very left-wing will be important for propaganda purposes. It is entirely possible. The Democrats could lose again, yet win the popular vote. If you look at the political landscape, the Democratic Party has a decision to make.

There is no question that the far left has intruded on the party, and some say is running the Democratic Party right now. But many Americans, especially independents, don't want a drastic change in this country. They don't want their lives uprooted by a completely different tax system, by an economy geared toward climate change, by a woke culture. Minority voters, particularly African Americans, are vital to the Democratic chances. And therefore, those voters must be courted. All the polls say that socialism is not taking deep root in the minority communities. I'm Bill O'Reilly and I approve that message by writing it. This is the beginning of our presidential coverage, we hope you stay close. For more analysis, please visit
