When Obama entered office it was during the greatest recession since the great depression. Trump has been in office a little over a year and the only thing's he done for the economy is pass a tax cut so how are we suppose to view the Obama/Trump economies? The highest month of jobs creation occurred under Obama in July of 2016 yet there isn't a conservative out there who didn't say that Obama was rigging the jobs numbers and even though Trump is using the very same methodology today as Obama somehow it's Trumps jobs numbers that are unbiased.

Now whether you will agree or not Obama was dealing with the economy that Bush left him (in other words, it was Bush's fault) and Trump was handed an economy that was stable and growing and had even produced the highest jobs numbers in over two decades. Now as I said before, Trump should be able to beat Obama's jobs numbers because he was handed a stable growing economy that was juiced by a 1.5 trillion dollar tax cut. It's virtually impossible for Trump to fail though for a man who went bust 4 times over I will never say never...

I do not know, but I would guess that " Russian meddling " has always taken place. The left needs to explain their catastrophic loss to Donald J. Trump to their semi-suicidal voters. " Russian meddling " is what they came up with. Those " semi-suicidal voters " need to be kept from giving up on the political system and becoming non-voters. That is a very real danger. We on the right also have the eternal problem of keeping our voters engaged because we won. Once you win the coalition of former angry losers breaks up. The losers of the Presidential Election usually do well in the first midterm. I view it as a pendulum. Each party gets their opportunity to rise from the ashes.

That is why I do not see it as any great defeat when the party in power loses. Even if you are doing a super fantastic job, Americans get tired of you and elect the other party. Trump's and Bill Clinton's victories can be explained as really good timing. Clinton came in after 12 years of Reagan-Bush. Trump won after 8 years of Obama. If Hillary had pulled it out, likely she would have been a one term President. Republicans will have a hard time following Trump because it will once again be the Democrats turn.

Reagan's victory over a one term President Carter shows how badly Carter was doing, and the fact that Reagan really had 3 terms if you throw in Bush Sr's 4 years, shows how great a President Reagan really was.

And it is your stupidity that is blatantly obvious!. Take a look at the economy jerk.

You are right about the Elitist CFR Bushes screwing up the Republican Party. Herbert almost finished off the party. The Baby Bush's CFR administration really messed up the Middle East. He was like Jimmy Carter; he just took his marching orders from Dick Cheney and the gang.

So you prefer socialism, well everything isn’t free.

Who here has an idea how Carter got elected?
Who promoted the peanut farmer from Georgia?
Both parties executive cabinets (national security advisors) are filled with members of “the Council on Foreign Relations” (CFR) and “the Trilateral Commission” (TC)). John D. Rockefeller formed the (CFR) in early 1920’s, and David Rockefeller formed the TC in 1973. David Rockefeller’s chief foreign policy advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, put the organization together for his boss. Jimmy Carter was made a TC founding member. After Carter was elected president, he filled his cabinet with CFR/TC members, with Zbigniew Brzezinski as his chief foreign policy “advisor”.

Reagan’s cabinet began with fewer (CFR) members, but many non (CFR) members were drummed out of office. (with the help of the liberal MSM). When Reagan finished office, most were again CFR/TC members. Bush senior was a Trilateralist and 9 of 11 of his national security council were (CFR) members. Bill Clinton was a CFR/TC member, and attended the Bilderberg meeting last year. P. Volker, A. Greenspan, H. Kissinger, Robert Strange McNamara are but a few of the high officials that belong to the CFR, TC, and the Bilderberg Group.
To show where these people and organizations are coming from; I quote -
TC report #23, 1982 – “… actions at the multinational level will be needed if the process of international relocation of industries is to be accelerated in an organized fashion …” (a policy to deindustrialize America) Now; please really reflect on what has happened under both parties CFR/TC administrations and Congresses.
Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote in his book, “between two ages” p. 72 (1970) - “Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external active man over the inner passive man, and a victory of reason over belief.” This man, a Democrat and Henry Kissinger, a Republican; both employed by David Rockefeller, and both CFR/TC /Bilderberger members. Both are one world globalists (pro Marxist/Fascist, per their own writings). Think about it! Can you see how “The Fix” is ensuring a one world dictatorship, to be ruled by these parasitic elitists?
(ZB) ( http://www.wanttoknow.info/brzezinskigrandchessboard.shtml )

In “Foreign Affairs ”(a CFR publication), April 1974, Richard Gardener, Ambassador to Italy, writes “an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal attack.”

I worry President Trump may be the death-rattle of the Republican Party, in its last throes after having fallen into the deathtrap LBJ set generations ago. (How's that for a conspiracy theory?)

I think that just because the unemployment rate is so low it will be difficult for job growth to be higher in the years ahead. To clarify, imagine unemployment were 0%, then job growth would also be 0% because there would be no workers to fill new positions.

I think your analysis is very close to the mark. However, I don't think Clinton voters were semi-suicidal, I think they were mostly shocked, frightened, and angered. And the "Russian meddling" was latched on to because it was more sensational and sexier than Comey's meddling. And as I have said before, I think presidential greatness is determined by luck. Carter had bad luck with the embassy takeover; Reagan had good luck with the exhaustion of the Russian economy and the coming of Gorbachev. Reagan had the good character to recognize that good fortune.

It would help to discern whose stupidity is so obvious, if you had used the Quote Reply button.

Only on even days. I don't see how your "well everything isn’t free" relates to socialism, so I'll just say, perhaps it should be. AI AI Oh!
