Maybe you can supply us with Cooper's score?
And if Trump fails to keep his promises to the "white middle class," he will be toast - quite possibly in the Republican primary.
Maybe. I don't know what they'll do; but he's already broken those promises to them, and mostly they were harmful to them to begin with. It's a matter of whether the "white middle class" gets some semblance of good sense again, which they so frequently lose.
Right now it looks like Cooper has a 10-4 score, pending a more accurate score if birth time is known, or if I change the point scoring on the aspects again, as I am considering doing (he could have another negative point if that happens). Right now I am leaning against making any more changes.
That's one point better than Donald Trump, if he is nominated and runs again. Balanced against that are the new moon before election, which predicts that the incumbent party will win the popular vote, and the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction (which you know about) which portends a change of direction within the Establishment (in the past this has meant a party in power loss, death in office of whoever is elected, or both). Cooper's past a Saturn Return now for the 2020 election, so that's a clear path for him now.
I like the idea of a Cooper running, though, since I am a Cooper on my grandmother's side. But Roy Cooper will have a tough time; the GOP is trying to strip his power. If they succeed it will be hard for him to build a record to run on in time. Interestingly, he's going through his Saturn Return right now. So we'll see how he comes out of this crisis.
