This came up in another discussion on recent MAGA pivot towards minorities but the topic deserves a thread of its own.

GOP donors: Trump campaign lacks a strategy to win in 2020

Their chief worries: How Trump can win again in Rust Belt states that swung to Democrats in the midterms. And the president’s lack of discipline.
02/25/2019

Late last month, more than 100 majorRepublican donors gathered at the Trump International Hotel for a presentation from the president’s campaign manager Brad Parscale and other top political hands on their plans to keep the White House in 2020 after a brutal midterm election.
But severalof the GOP contributors left the two-day retreat in Washington dissatisfied, dogged by essentially the same concern: The president doesn’t 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 year's midterms. But there are also concerns about whether the president's 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.

Trump’s Secret to Victory in 2020: Hispanic Voters

Yes, it’s true: The man who wants to build a wall to keep out immigrants is winning over just enough Latinos to get re-elected. Unless Democrats figure out how to stop him.

Trump Launches Urban Council To Invest $100 Billion in Black Communities (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?531908-Trump-Launches-Urban-Council-To-Invest-100-Billion-in-Black-Communities&p=6758212&viewfull=1#post6758212)

Looking at recent haedlines, there seems to be major MAGA tilt towards minorities immediately after Wall funding shutdown failure.
Even critics would have to admit that MAGA has displayed very impressive ability to reshape its image according to changing political climate. Candidate whose campaign was painted as "anti-semitic" in media before election was recently saluted by various jewish leaders as "most pro-Israel US President in history". By same token, could the media projected "racist" go down as the most pro-Black President in US history couple of years from today?

This question from past week may need to be expanded :
Can Trump win 2020 with Hispanic + Black + Jewish + Moderate GOP/Dems votes? (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?531872-Can-Trump-win-2020-with-Hispanic-Moderate-GOP-Dems-votes&)

On a side note, if Pence's political currency value decreased ahead and mega donors like Adelson got nervous due to recent GOP midterm losses, could MAGA shock everybody by replacing Pence with someone like Tim Scott on VP ticket for 2020 and run a historic a Trump-Scott 2020 (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?529457-Trey-Gowdy-says-he%92ll-return-to-politics-if-Tim-Scott-runs-for-president&p=6722590&viewfull=1#post6722590) ticket to court black vote much more aggressively?

Why enhanced_deficit. Are you implying actors in the dreaded Deep State are engaged in a conspiracy to get Trump reelected?

Clearly this one wants vetting and confirmation.

This part I agree with.

Not sure on other question, but hard to conceive that a genuine rebel would have survived in power for this long with the kind of baggage he carried without some deep blessing.

To be fair, many of new MAGA supporters are quite moderate conservatives and pretty liberal on many issues.

LOL

MAGA believers might get offended though with that meme.

Secondly, how things have changed sharply in couple of years from the 2016 MAGA winning strategy.
