There hasn’t been a decent jobs report or a stable economy since Obama took office. Everything’s going steadily downhill. How are democrats going to run on the economy?
They’re such a frikkin’ joke at this point.
“There hasn’t been a decent jobs report or a stable economy since Obama took office. Everything’s going steadily downhill. How are democrats going to run on the economy?”
The short answer is: they’re not.
The simple fact that this latest jobs report wasn’t obviously faked nor immediately “revised” to look good means that people in high places are having little confidence in the short-term health of the economy.
If it appears like the house of cards can continue to be propped up then Hillary will be elected on the strength of the “booming” economy. If a collapse comes during her administration it will be blamed on Republicans somehow, and she will suffer little blame because she kept the good times rolling by her unending sacrifice and sound economic policies for as long as a true Wonder Woman is capable.
If, on the other hand, it looks like an economic downturn or major collapse is imminent there will be the most godawful economic reports between now and November, Hillary will be sacrificed, Trump will win and inherit an economic armageddon for which he will be vilified forever. They would rather throw the election than have a Democrat preside over a major collapse or depression. This would ensure a single term for Trump, and a real chance to recapture the Congress and run Chelsea (heaven forbid) in 2020.
Political parties aside, Hoover didn’t cause the Crash of 1929, but to this day he is blamed and ridiculed as the author of the Depression. The Democrat Plan-B is setting up Trump for the same, if necessary.
