A Consensus Emerges at Davos: Trump Will Win Re-Election
The Davos consensus on the presidential election
Publicly, the global business leaders who gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, haven’t wanted to predict the winner of the upcoming U.S. presidential election. The closest they’ve come? Referring to it as a “geopolitical risk.”
But talk to executives privately, and they’re more explicit: They expect Donald Trump to win and while many are worried about that, they are also resigned to it.
That said, the Davos crowd often gets things wrong. A common critique of those who attend the forum is that they are a contra-indicator of what’s to come, so their expectations could bode well for Biden or for Trump’s Republican rivals. “Trump is already the president at Davos — which is a good thing because the Davos consensus is usually wrong,” Alex Soros, the son of George Soros, said on a panel.
A little history: The Davos consensus was that Hillary Clinton would beat Trump in 2016. And in 2020, the prevailing view was that there were few risks to the economy … as the pandemic began to explode.
Yeah, I think his his handling of the Gaza situation has lost him a lot of support definitely and potentially votes from the left.Maybe, but Biden also probably not going to get as many votes as he did last time.
I keep banking on Gen Z to do more with more information and vote democrat, but they're on the same internet we are and too many are being MAGA radicalized by morons on Reddit; just like every other generation.I don't think Trump will gain any votes since 2020. Elderly MAGA are dying, Covid deaths hit MAGA states hard, more Gen Z are eligible to vote each year, overturning Roe will convert female voters and energize the opposition, the Taylor Swift factor, J6 has to cost them at least some votes. I don't see how Trump would gain votes outside of MAGA Gen Z becoming eligible. I don't think the plan is to win the election. The plan is to run, lose, and somehow steal the election/overthrow the government. For Project 2025 to be executed, their has to be a plan for him to get the Presidency.
I don't think either side is happy with him on immigration, for opposite reasons.Yeah, I think his his handling of the Gaza situation has lost him a lot of support definitely and potentially votes from the left.

For what it's worth, the Gen Z'ers I work with are all very hard working and seem to be far more interested in making lots of money than political discussions.

I've heard some interviews/focus groups with likely Haley voters who don't like that she refuses to say if she'll be Trump's VP.Looking for a Republican with the courage to stand up to Trump is like looking for a virgin in a whore house.
She is going to lose to Trump in NH, but just be closer and Trump being vindictive will probably pick Stefanik over Haley for VP.What a strange quote to chose to end your campaign.

I think Haley drops out if she loses in NH. Pundits talk a lot of shit about DeSantis only polling around 5-7%, but if most of them show up for Trump or don't show up at all instead of voting for Haley, Trump clears 50% easily.
