BET founder Bob Johnson says 2020 Democrats don't stand a chance against Trump

[NYP] BET founder Bob Johnson is putting his money on Donald Trump to spend another four years in the White House.

Johnson, America’s first black billionaire, thinks there’s no Democrat who can take down the president in 2020.

"If you take a snapshot today, I don’t think that group is capable of beating Trump despite what the polls say," Johnson, 73, told CNBC. "I think the president has always been in a position where it’s his to lose based on his bringing a sort of disruptive force into what would be called political norms."

Though the president remains rock solid with GOP voters, he has struggled with African Americans. He received just 8 percent of the black vote in 2016, has made many overtures to African Americans, including speaking at the Black Leadership Summit in Washington and his public bromance with Kanye West.

"What the hell do you have to lose?" Trump famously told black voters in August 2016, urging them to vote for him and arguing that Hillary Clinton and Democratic policies had failed their community.

#1 I hope Mr. Johnson is correct, but I didn't think Soetoro stood a chance in 2008 either.

#2 Besoeker, But what did you think about his chances in 2012? Re-election is easier than the first election.

#3 I have never fully recovered from 2008. After 4 years of the communist Soetoro, I gave up on political predictions.
