Author and pundit Stephen Moore predicts in an exclusive Newsmax interview that a Donald Trump re-election victory in 2020 will bring about the demise of the current-day Democratic Party.
Moore’s prediction followed a series of bullish economic reports, including 3.8 percent unemployment and an Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development analysis showing the United States now enjoys the fastest growing economy in the developed world.
Moore, who was an economic adviser for Trump during the 2016 campaign, estimates the president’s current odds of re-election at 70 percent, unless there’s a recession -- a view he admits is in sharp contrast to other Acela corridor analysts.
"Most locals think it is 10 percent," he quips. "They can’t even imagine the American people would make this ‘tragic mistake’ twice, right?"
Moore predicts red-hot 3.5 to 4 percent GDP growth over the next year, adding another Trump victory in 2020 would effectively spell the demise of the current Democratic coalition, which has continued to slide further and further to the left as the Democratic base has remained transfixed by Trump twitter storms and as-yet unproven theories of Russian collusion.
"If Trump gets re-elected," Moore flatly predicts, "the Democratic Party will have a nervous breakdown."
Moore, a Heritage Foundation visiting fellow and periodic contributor to Newsmax Magazine, says the Democratic Party is "lunatic" in the sense that "You can’t be pro-worker and anti-business."
Says Moore: "It’s simple: The lunatic left took over the Democratic Party. It happened in 2007 with the elevation of [California Rep. Nancy] Pelosi as Speaker. Then the vice grip was the elevation of the most left-wing president of modern times in Obama … and it’s drifted further to the left ever since then."
Moore adds that he does not consider the midterm elections particularly consequential, because if Democrats win control of both chambers, "They’re going to waste two years trying to destroy Trump, and that’s only going to sow the seeds of their destruction. They think that’s an agenda. It’s a negative message: Kill Trump. What’s the positive message coming out of the Democrats these days…? It’s all negative."
If Trump wins reelection in 2020, he predicts, "The Democratic Party will collapse and there will be a new party that will emerge that will hopefully be a centrist party. What’s happened to the Democratic Party the last 10 years is a tragedy, it’s horrible. It’s like Hugo Chavez is running the Democratic Party."
