Why Trump win is on cards despite his unorthodox, controversial ways
THE US Democrats hold their latest presidential debate on Wednesday in a bid to narrow down the party's still-large 2020 field of candidates.

While a large body of US and international publics - including this author - have long been critical of Mr Trump, the fact remains that (as in 2016) several key political and economic fundamentals are acting like tailwinds for his re-election in November 2020.
