S.E. Cupp: Trump has 2020 ‘in the bag’ if things don’t change

Conservative CNN host S.E. Cupp said Saturday that President Trump has reelection “in the bag” if Democrats don’t change course on the campaign trail.

Cupp criticized Democrats for what she described as “Dem on Dem crime” and media coverage for focusing on stories that she described as “dumb plotlines.”

{mosads}“If I’m Donald Trump, I’m feeling pretty good about my chances. As long as the media keeps zeroing in on these dumb plotlines and as long as Democrats spend the next year talking about the things most Americans don’t prioritize, and as long as candidates sound more like they’re running for president in 1950 Russia instead of 2019 America, Trump’s got this one in the bag,” she said during her show “S.E. Cupp Unfiltered.”

Cupp pointed to coverage of Sen. Kamala Harris’s (D-Calif.) controversial career as a prosecutor and reports of Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s (D-Minn.) poor treatment of her staff. She also noted the recent confrontation between children and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) over the “Green New Deal.”

“This kind of stuff is only going to heat up as Democrats try to out-left each other on and off the campaign trail and prove their progressive bona fides,” Cupp said. “This is a fight for the soul of the Democratic Party, yes, but it’s … supposed to be a fight for the White House. This kind of stuff isn’t a good look.”
