To put it more simply, crashing the markets in order to get Obama elected in 2008 was OK, but crashing the markets when it might have kept Obama from being re-elected in 2012 was not OK.

This is the salient point, for two reasons. First, everything will be done to keep the economy from crashing in 2016 in order to attempt to ensure that Hillary! gets elected.

Second, if Trump is elected anyway, everything will be done to crash the economy in 2017. In addition, all the problems with the economy that are not being presented by the MSM will suddenly become part of the news cycle. Moreover, non-problems with the economy—e.g., homelessness, which is not generally an economic problem—will suddenly become part of the news cycle as well.

Remember the cardinal rule of issues: nothing is ever settled until it is settled the way liberals want it settled, and then it is settled. Just as the economy has supposedly been just fine under Obama in spite of the facts, the economy will supposed be Great Depression II under Trump, in spite of the facts.
