Posting: So what do you think will happen in the 2020 election? Options Menu: Forum   
This could very well be the most open-ended question Ive ever asked of students of political science.  Over 20 Democratic candidates, a sitting President who makes me want to throw out my government textbook since what he did (and does) continually defies so many norms, proven Russian meddling in 2016, with the possibility of deep-fake misinformation coming down the pike and from more than one country wanting to influence how we vote in 2020, possible impeachment hearings of the President during the whole thing

See all the variables there?  There are very VERY many of those.  So lets talk about them all here, in hopes of answering an on-the-face simple question

1.    Read Chapter 9 carefully, especially the section describing campaigns and elections.

2.    Go to the DISCUSSION BOARD forum called So what do you think will happen in the 2020 election?

3.    Answer the question in at least 200 words, citing specifically-quoted material from Chapter 9 and any online sources you want to use as well.
