Do not underestimate the stupidity of GOP voters.
My mind tells me that there is no way he can win again, but then I remind myself of the people that voted for him before. I talk to these types of people often, and the consensus is, their opinions have not changed.

Trump is walking a high wire with the voters. Basically, if you support him and voted for him, he loves you. If not, you are dead to him. He has done nothing to try to reach out to anyone other than his base. The midterms showed that some of that base is willing to vote Democrat. The election came down to about 40,000 votes spread across three states. If those people don't vote for Trump again, and he doesn't pick up any new voters, he won't win again.
He can win, incumbents are hard to beat, but he is hurting his own cause as he continues to strike out at anyone and everyone who doesn't cradle his balls in their mouth. I am of the opinion that as long as the Democrats choose someone who the young voters like, they will win in 2020.
All that said, two years in politics is a long time. A lot can happen between now and then.
