The jobs report could mean bad news for Donald Trump.
The impressive non-farm payrolls of 242,000 and an unemployment rate that remained at 4.9% put even more downward pressure on what's known as the "Misery Index," an unofficial economic measure calculated by adding the unemployment rate and inflation.
This indicator, created by economist Arthur Okin, has become a staple of election-year commentary and has an impressive record of predicting the outcome of U.S. presidential elections since the middle of the last century. The current index, at a 25-year low, suggests the Democrats will retain control of the White House this year, according to Bloomberg's Chief U.S. Economist Carl Riccadonna....

The propaganda is going to get worse after the nominations are in. This is like the calm before the storm.
You mean we need another term or two of Marxist/fascist dictators to beat us down before we rise up in righteous anger to overthrow tyranny?
If this were the case, why was Obama re-elected?
Other than the fact his opponent was too busy on his knees
Whats wrong with us? Theres much more misery we can tolerate.
What complete utter bunk. No matter who the POTUS is, they will inherit misery and lies from the leftist in the white house.
Cooked books - not a chance.
First and foremost, Trump is the result of a very broken GOP leadership.
Trump has focused in on the anger and frustration and provided not only an outlet...but provided an individual who is willing to get in the face of the MSM and the GOPe, to be completely politically incorrect to them, and who then says the very things that the frustrated electorate wants done.
This is resulting in a phenomenal attraction to Trump...and not just from the frustrated GOP voters. it is now extending to independents and even democrats who are also sick of the political establishment and who all want someone to go into that establishment and kick the house down.
They believe Trump is a person who will actually not just talk about it...but will go in and do it.
He is crass. He is irreverent. he is often prfane.
But everyone knows that already.
Romney knew it when he accepted his endorsement in 2012...and he knew it when he attacked him yesterday.
The people who want the country back and want the political establishment put in its place...and more likely run out of town on a rail...do not care about those things. detractors cannot use them against Trump.
The crass nature, the irreverence, and the profane nature of Trump all adds to the conviction that his supporters have that he will actually do the things he says.
This is the answer to what s happening.
It is too late for the GOPe or the MSM to stop the resulting tsunami during the GOP Primaries.
The establishment and politically correct MSM operative (which are what they are, passing themselves off as journalists...which they are not), are simply incapable of understanding this.
I personally believe it is also far too late for the DNC to do anything about it.
During the campaign for the general election, they will try to do the same types of things the GOPe and the MSM are doing. In fact, they will double down on it, particularly the Clinton machine.
It will not matter.
More and more democrats will join the tsunami.
The DNC will also be washed aside in this flood.
If it continues as it is now, Trump will likely win in a landslide...and these same prognosticators will be shaking their heads wondering what happened...just like the did when Ronald Reagan, whom they viewed as an ignorant, old, right wing, class-b actor, swept into the White House on a landslide...and then won a second term on an even bigger one.
I am a Ted Cruz supporter. I wish he could win the nomination and the Presidency. I believe he would be rock solid as a conservative and in support of the constitution.
But what I described above is the reality...and I do not believe any candidate, any "party" or any media outlet can stop it.
We simply have to do what we can for America, we have to pray (and fast) in beseeching God in Heaven to turn it for good.
And I think it can most definitely do so.
If Trump will do the things he has promised:
Then American in fact will turn around and have the chance to become great again.
Anyhow, those are my feelings on it.
He spent the most...Americans got the least.
...but please continue to spill your spew, yahoo.
The “employment participation” rate is 67%, but the “unemployment” rate” is under 5%? What’s wrong with this picture?
What is miserable are the lazy takers and criminals that our government has imported and allowed to fester here in America.
Oh yeah, the impressive McJobs report. These think we are idiots.
Speak for yourself, Nicole Sinclair, Yahoo Finance lackey.
All the Yahoo stuff is lefty.
Marissa Mayer, the CEO, is an Obama bundler.

Didn't want to have to do this, but you forced me into it.I disagree. I think many blue and purple states will be up for grabs this year.
“...the jobs report...”
...doesn’t mean Shiite if you’re unemployed or under-employed.
I think that’s exactly what they mean.
