Much like the election of 1944 or 1864. 2020 is a likely shoe in for Trump because from all the indicators presented by Dem leadership they plan on doubling down on the failed policies that have resulted in their major losses the last three cycles. After all they didn't ditch Pelosi when they should have.
I mark the start of the fourth turning at 2008. While 2024 is a good date my own suspicion is that you will know the fourth turning is ending when it becomes obvious the American Empire is over. Whether that end looks the the end of the British or Roman empires remains to be seen.
Judging from Ryan's Obozocare light bill it is clear that the GOP elites also plan on business as usual. The problem with a fourth turning is that the business as usual is what got you here. It doesn't sound like the GOP base agrees with that plan. This rejection of business as usual is how they ended up with Trump.
