Does Trump automatically become the republican nominee in 2020 if he doesn’t get impeached?

, there's a lot of speculation that some Republican could challenge Donald Trump in the 2020 primary. John Kasich, who unlike many Republicans in Washington never embraced Trump, is often pointed to as likely candidate.

In general a sitting president is essentially automatically renominated. However, there has been challenges to sitting presidents. Ronald Reagan challenge Jerry Ford in 1976, Ted Kennedy challenged Jimmy Carter in 1980 and Pat Buchanan challenged George Bush senior in 1992. However, all of these attempts failed. The last time sitting president was not renominated by their party was in 1968 when LBJ declined to seek reelection. I think we have to go back to before the Civil War to find a case where a sitting president decided to run again but was not renominated by their party

Technically, it's not automatic, but it's pretty likely. The last President who wasn't nominated for a second term was Kennedy -- and that's because he was dead when it was time to pick a nominee. The last time that a President lived long enough to be nominated for a second term but the party picked someone else was over 120 years ago.

Given his diet, he's unlikely to be alive in 2020

It's rare, but a sitting president can face a primary challenger. That Trump is the 2020 nominee is not automatic.

I think that, if Trump is still in office in 2020, he is very likely to be challenged.

Yep. Sorry, but you OWN the treasonous orange piece of sh!t...

Kasich will probably challenge Trump in the primaries. You could vote for him.

He has no chance either way.

Incumbents usually have the support of their party. Others can challenge them, but if they are seen to have a good chance of being re-elected, it's unlikely the nomination would go to anyone else. There's still the primary system, and voters can vote for another candidate, if there is one. It's hard to say about Trump right now. If Republicans lose big in the midterms, they may be more reluctant to back him for a second term.

Will you be alive tomorrow? Will the Earth exist tomorrow? Who knows???? We just had an election..why are you asking this now?? Just being the stinking troll that you are?? Go **** yourself.

No. Flake may challenge him. Maybe Rubio. Maybe Kasich.
