How about we close out the question of how the employment rate might influence voting in the midterms, before moving on to the question of health care?

It will have the effect of being a factor in a 7.8 point vote margin and a house makeup of 226 D, 209 R.

Simply meant as a sardonic joke reply, highlighting that with all that’s going on in the world, TP on the President’s shoe seems newsworthy.

Zero hidden meaning or agenda.

Ehh... I would count it as worth a few seconds of time, regardless, for levity. I wouldn't equate it in any way with even tan suit gate, though, because there's no faux outrage that I've seen when it comes to that.

I think this is spot on and if there is any down turn in the economy before 2020 he is toast.

With an historically low rate of unemployment there's only one way it can go, and it's the trend which matters. The economy has peaked way too soon for Trump 2020.



Frankly, most other presidents with this economy would have super high approval ratings. He can't break 40 with a humming economy.

Quite.

LOL!

It's not a question of counter-examples. I'm sure there are positive and negative factors working on voters as we approach the midterms. I don't mind talking about negative factors. I do mind changing the subject from one factor to another in the middle of a discussion. This shouldn't upset you as much as it obviously does, the way you're lashing out.

Psssst! Look at the title of said discussion.

Hint: It's not just about the economy/unemployment.

And I'm not lashing out, I'm merely exposing your poor debating skilz and the flaws in your "argument".

LOL!
 
Trump is the only president I've ever seen who has made zero effort at reaching across the aisle. Normally a president moderates after winning and tries to look like a leader for all Americans. Even W Bush did that. Trump seems to only want to be President for his rabid base that show up at his rallies. He has catered everything to them and then derided the other side at his continuing rallies.


It is like he doesn't realize he won because 60,000 people spread across three states ended up voting for him instead of Hillary. That is the thinnest of margins and statistically unlikely to be repeated. Heck in Michigan more people voted in the primaries than in the general election. What if Michigan ends up not staying home this time?

"You don’t hand matches to an arsonist, and you don’t give power to an angry left-wing mob. Democrats have become too EXTREME and TOO DANGEROUS to govern. Republicans believe in the rule of law - not the rule of the mob. VOTE REPUBLICAN!"

"Beautiful evening in Topeka, Kansas. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE! #MAGA"

Sounds like Republicans are setting up precedent to place more restrictions on protest. Call peace protests "mobs" and then outlaw it. They're already encouraging people to drive over protesters, and it's worked twice now.

Well, you know Trump supporters. MAGA might as well be a swastika.

Some might, but a lot of people could easily be upset that while they can get a job, they need 2 or 3 jobs to keep a roof over their head and still not be able to pay for the medicine they need.

Not to worry, NAFTA 2.0 is protecting pharmaceuticals to allow them to price drugs even higher.
 
I was watching the movie Patriots Day last night. Not bad though all the Boston fellatio at the end was a bit much. It showed the memorial where Obama gave his speech. It reminded me about how it used to be that when this nation had a tragedy the president was invited to speak and calm us, reassure us and bring us together.



Today we have Trump who isn't allowed within a hundred miles of such events because everyone knows he will just start ranting about how big his electoral college win was, the size of the inauguration and how Democrats are evil. If the speech was in Boston like the one in 2013 he would definitely throw in a line about Pocahontas. I miss having a president we could turn to in the bad times to make us feel better.
