I blame the Trump tax cuts and the deregulation. What is the dem answer? Tax the rich, feed the poor until there are no rich no more.
https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/10/income-gap-growth-obama-trump-administations-economy-politics/The latest Census Bureau Current Population Survey data now show that middle-class incomes, after adjusting for inflation, have surged by $5,003 since Donald Trump became president in January 2017. Median household income has now reached $65,976 – an all-time high and up more than 8 percent in 2019 dollars under the Trump presidency.
The 8.2 percent hike in middle-class wages during Trump’s roughly two-and-a-half years in the White House leaves his predecessors gasping in the dust. As Moore wrote in the September 29 Wall Street Journal, during “7½ years under President Obama — starting from the end of the recession in June 2009 through January 2017 — the median household income rose by only about $1,000.” That precise figure is $1,043, or a mere 1.7 percent.
This metric’s performance was downright self-humiliating under uber-RINO G. W. Bush. Across all eight years of his “compassionate conservatism,” median households saw their winnings creep up a paltry $401, or 0.7 percent.
“This means that in the 16 years before the Trump presidency, incomes rose by about $1,500 while in less than three years, middle incomes have risen three times faster,” Moore writes. Indeed, in a bit more than half of his term, Trump’s $5,003 mountain of growth in median household income is 346 percent higher than Bush-Obama’s $1,444 molehill of marginal middle-class earnings.

This is the genesis of the Moody predictor on the race but Trump is an outlier both positive and negative when it comes to predictions
Its also the reason for democratic panic. Presenting socialism as an alternative is fucking stupid and the adults in the room know it
It is also why Trump tweets. He tweeted that his 50% approval rate would be 70 if the news was honest.
Hyperbole with some truth to that

In 1998, senior Clinton aides took heart that a rocking economy would provide a floor for the president no matter how bad things got. “The president was popular because things were going pretty well and people felt Clinton was working for them,” said Joe Lockhart, an adviser and press secretary under Clinton.
In 2019, that may not be the case.
And the part about Clinton, I'm glad you included the whole quote. Because most people don't feel Trump is working for them. HTH
The democrats have no alternative that won't destroy those gains and instead are on this endless quest starting with Mueller and now into impeachment rather than finding a good candidate
And you have never posted any coherent reason why he should be impeached so fuck off
If you can read what Westlinn wrote and still say Trump isn't "working for us" you're a fucking moron
You have been lying your ass off about tax cuts and the economy and continue to melt down over people making more money and keeping more of it
Great campaign as always
That being said, I'm not sure why you are so angry. But the economy being good should have no bearing in whether Trump committed a high crime or misdemeanor. It did with Clinton because he lied about banging Monica. Most people didn't give a shit. Trump working with foreign Governments to take down political opponents is completely different.. I'm not surprised you don't understand the difference.
Nobody said the economy means he shouldn't be impeached you fucking idiot.
What high crime and misdemeanor? That's what I thought
The point is the absolute lack of any candidate on the democrat side that is worth a bucket of warm spit
That's why you're lying about what Trump did after defending Hillary for actually doing it.
Called for everything Trump did to be investigated, wants to impeach Trump for investigating Biden
Go fuck yourself
