Donald Trump now has an obvious path to a second term

(CNN)The latest economic numbers -- 266,000 jobs created in November, unemployment at a 50-year low -- make one thing very clear: President Donald Trump has a path to win a second term next year.

Yes, you can quibble about whether the strong November report or the upward revisions in job gains for the last two months or the broader upswing in the economy is due to Trump and his policies. But what we know -- both from our political history and more recent polling -- is that presidents get credit when the economy is strong and blame when it is weak.

Watch them go ape over the slightest economic cooldown or disappointment.

You can’t argue with success. (Normal people don’t. Libtards is another matter).

The wrIting is on the wall. Democrats wouldn’t be impeaching Trump if they. knew he would lose.

Nothing they have done has worked. They’ll have him around four more years whether they like it or not.

Sucks to be them.

33% among blacks, 25% among Democrat voters. The Fat Lady is going to sing.

Sure you can. You just re-define it as failure, and re-define failure as success. With MSM help, you can get a large percentage of the population to buy into it.

Actually Pres. Trump should get another 2 years after that, just to make up for the time deliberately lost with the CIA-created fake Mueller Report. So, 6 more years.

It's only fair. :)

They’ve tried it all. Nothing is working. Even impeachment won’t stop the Trump Train.

They’re going to be run over.

It’s Trump’s policies. He’s doing the opposite of Obama and what every Democrat is yelling about.

It must have been painful for CNN to write it. Every now and then the Democrat media admits what everyone knows.

No good news for Democrats. Merry Christmas! :)

We might lose CA House seats by illegals voting, we won’t lose any CA Electoral votes—unless CA regains/acquires sanity.

I’m constantly amazed by people who view the economy as some nebulous mystery that magically comes and goes instead of being a result of planned policies resulting in good or bad results. The media would rather credit voodoo than President Trump and his team for our current economic success.

I’ve heard some Democrats or liberal people, don’t remember who, saying that while certain economic indicators are good, that :

1. the economy is not benefiting everyone, thus, we can’t say it’s a good economy because some are left behind.

2. The economic growth we’ve seen has nothing to do with Trump and his policies. Rather, the economy would be doing even better if Trump weren’t there interfering with the economy with his alleged trade wars.

3. The economic expansion began while Obama was still president, so if we credit any president for current economic conidtions, that president should be Obama.
