If Trump wins in 2020, does the GOP have a chance of winning again in 2024?

If the Democrats couldn't eek out an electoral win in 2000 or 2016, the GOP won't have a chance in 2024 after two terms of Trump.

Good point. With such charismatic figures as Al Gore and Hillary Clinton, how could they lose?
Honestly, if they run DeSantis with someone like Joni Ernst, they'd have a solid chance of pulling it off. Or Haley, I guess, though Ernst would make a stronger VP

Gore had a good economy and peace abroad, Clinton in 2016 could at least say the economy was better than it was in 2008 and even 2012 and while the situation abroad in 2016 wasn't ideal, it hadn't gotten worse that it was when Obama took office. If the GOP after two terms of Trump doesn't have that in 2024 and a Dukakis level weak Democratic nominee to run against, they'll lose.

Gore had a good economy? Starting Q2'00, the economy was thinning.

 Unemployment was still at a 30 year low, and the economy was still significantly better than it was in 1992. The effects of the 2000 stock market crash really weren't felt until the recession hit in spring 2001, so there was a perception that things were still good in 2000. Heck, the market crash of 87 didn't stop 41 from winning in 88.
