Silly Freeper, there you go using logic:

a) you underestimate the media’s, the left’s and the GOPe’s ability to go full-retard on this
b) you overestimate the power of the a large segment of the population to think for themselves.

Oh, whoever is president will own what ever happens. I just think that if Mrs. Bill Clinton, rape enabler, is elected, you will see tons of knot tying taking place in order to try and place the blame on Trump and his supporters for whatever happens.

The grip of the MSM is weakening. Polls consistently show that large majorities regard the news media as untrustworthy. In other words, the American people view them like the Russians of the 1980s did Pravda and Izvestia.

Hillary herself has to perform a balancing act between helping crony capitalists of the sort that are funding her campaign and the Sanders-Warren wing of the party, who are openly socialist. The Wikileaks stories about her saying one thing on Wall Street and another in union halls or black churches exemplify her problems. If even the Labor Department says we have north of 8% unemployment and falling tax revenues, rest assured that her left wing will demand a return to FDR level "soak the rich" taxes, more regulation on the financial services industry, and massive new social programs. Her Wall Street supporters would disapprove. Meanwhile, the GOP-e and establishment conservatives of the National Review stripe may fail in re-establishing themselves as the "loyal opposition". The horses are out of the barn, and Ryan, McConnell, Romney, etc., cannot corral them.

Recessions are cyclical, and we are due for one. If I were a Democrat, I would secretly root for Trump, and let him and the GOP take the blame. Then in 2018 and 2020, they can sweep into the White House, take the Senate and House, along with governorships and state legislatures.
