This economy isn't going to ever regain its full health and vigor until the voters put someone else in the Oval Office who knows what it takes to get the engine of growth running at full throttle again.

If a good person (Cruz) gets into the Oval Office, the media will go into overdrive with TONS of bad economic news, scandals and stories of suspected corruption. They will sabotage all efforts at real progress. The people will lament "the good old days" when Obama made the economy hum -- no matter what the economy is doing in 2017: it won't be as good as the glory days of 2009-2016.

It doesn’t have to be Cruz necessary as long as the new elected president is a republican and especially a conservative. I have figured the progressive media out long ago

I believe that is what will happen. Maybe a dem should win? How much lower can we go? I’m already paying 60+ percent in taxes. Fed 39%, Ca state 10-11 %, Ca state sales tax 9+ %, SS Tax 12K. I’m ready for my welfare checks!

You are so, so right. Suddenly the homeless will return to "news" stories, underemployment will become part of every economic piece and reporters will discover the high prices of groceries. And should a Republican refuse to testify before Congress, or delete their email, or write an executive order the left doesn't like it will be "AN OUTRAGE" and require gnashing of leftist teeth.

I can only pray that many of the casualties of this crumbling, flatlining economy will be lots of newspapers and cable channels. They sure as bleep don't get my money.

The debt has gotten so high, at such artificially low interest rates, that the economy improving would be devastating for the economy and the federal deficit. I haven’t figured the numbers again for 2014, but for 2013, the deficit plus fed fiat money was a falsely created 2.3 trillion, for a total growth of 300 billion...meaning that the economy was imploding at $2 trillion a year.

Yeah, 24 hours after the election is over, it'd be like "The Economic Crisis: Why can't the President fix it? - a CNN Special Report"

Pessimism?

They tried it with Reagan. Didn't work. And your still basing it on the premise that the media has a monopoly and they have a high level of trust with the general public

All one has to do is look at how the local medias are treating Brownback in Kansas for any little economic or budget bad news to see how the media would treat a conservative president. The local medias have been relentless going after Brownback. Truth be known, much of Kansas problems go back to Sebelius when she was governor, none of that gets any mention in the local medias though.

Our media is so damn corrupt. Did I ever mention how much I despise them?

Oh, if only we had "just that" to worry about. We've already had bad economic news, scandal after scandal and proof of Democrat corruption for over six years now.

Let's assume for a minute, at least until 2016, that Yellen decides to keep printing that fake money and propping up Obama's presidency and the stock market by keeping interest rates low. Do you have any doubts that, upon the election of a Republican...ANY Republican....that Yellen will immediately and suddenly come to the conclusion that the fed simply can no longer keep propping up the economy like that? Interest rates will soar, the debt will skyrocket, the stock market will collapse and we'll probably have a hyper-inflation depression that makes 2008 look like a mere blip on the radar. All completely blamed, of course, on the Republican president.

I'm afraid that we are screwed either way, folks.
