It is shocking that stock market futures are booming,,,up over 1,000 points! Who would ever dreamed that? Unbelievable.
If Texas has turned blue, it will be virtually impossible for a Republican to get elected President without Texas’s electoral votes. Texas certainly is not red anymore.
My ancestors were here in Texas during the Republic of Texas. One direct one was born in the Republic of Texas. (10 year span)
If you think we are beaten, you are very wrong.
The demographics (you know what I mean) have changed drastically in the last several years,,,,,and they will not get better in 2 years. They get worse every single day.
Eventually the tariffs will end, clearly. That is worth a lot to the US consumer and US earnings.
Shhh, Negative Nattering Nabob.
not only uncertainty of election is gone, but backdrop of good economic fundamentals (3.4% GDP,full employment) with less risk from near-term legislative regulation due to gridlock = good environment for stox.
Sorry if the fact,,,,yes, FACT, I posted,,,,,is not something you wanted to hear, but I did post a FACT!
If you think the demographics (with their Free State of heart, mind and attitude) from illegal immigrants and transplants from other liberal states, is the same in Texas as they were a long time ago (or even several years ago),,,, I won’t waste anymore of my time with you….LOL.
Have a nice day.
I don’t blame you for saying,,,,,shhhhh…lol.
The Republican Congress was an aimless cluster of useless losers.
We needed a government. Now we are getting one. That’s good for markets.
Just checked and my investments are up - by a lot.
We’ll see how long this lasts...
Yep, up by over 1,300 points now,,,,,go figure!
I was precinct judge here yesterday.
My family has been in this county since 1889.
You need not try to explain reality.
You will soon see that we are still Texas, not Globalist Swine.
Well, if you know the two sides are going to just bicker, you can be sure no regulatory change of significance (good or bad) is likely to come... so in the Macro you have stability which markets tend to like
Relax...
TX boiled down to Dems got folks to turn out at high levels, and GOP did not.
GOP turned out at typical midterm levels, Dems got more folks out.
GOP has the same issue its had through the entire Trump Era... how does it get the folks who show up when Trump is on the ballot to show up when he isn’t....
GOP needs to unlock that soon.. because Trump is gone in 2 years either way
No one has been sworn in, as of yet.
In my opinion it was the Republican Congress
that lost this election. In particular the Senate.
Not passing the Save Act to stop the Democrat Party
cheating and foreign interference in our elections
cost the Republicans the election.
You people still don't get it.
Trump was elected BY DEMOCRATS in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Without them, he would not be President.
Most of them would put a bullet in their heads before voting for a generic Republican. Trump himself isn't really a Republican in the conventional sense.
Agreed, President Trump is certainly conservative on some issues, but definitely not across the board (as you said not in the conventional sense).
Trump can veto everything.
