|Former Republican Congressman Zach Wamp says President Donald Trump’s numbers are not looking good in lead up to the November election, but that can change quickly as evidenced in the 2016 election. “Hillary Clinton’s election was a forgone conclusion until it wasn’t, and Joe Biden’s election is a foregone conclusion until it’s not,” he said.
“If he gets those Midwest seats he could lose the popular vote by as much as four million votes and still under our constitution be re-elected as President.” Mr Wamp said Mr Trump proved himself on trade in the past four years but let the country down with his personality. “He’s put his foot down on trade, on national security and foreign policy, and frankly his supreme court appointments have been consistent and constitutional,” he said. “But the way he treats people is completely unacceptable.
