The economy is in it’s ninth year of steady recovery. Trump, of course, is taking credit for this in his usual, understated, rigorously honest way: "In many ways this is the greatest economy in the HISTORY of America….” Unfortunately, that is working for him.
This is all the more dangerous given that economic concerns were part of what got him elected. Yes, that was along with racism, James Comey, Vladimir Putin, nativism, and misogyny, but it was in the mix in an extraordinarily close election. While the degree might change from election to election, it’s always “the economy, stupid.” Ignoring that could evaporate the blue wave. Democrats must come together and daily if not hourly proclaim that this is Obama’s economy – because it is.
Democrats Should Embrace This Economy. After All, It’s Obama’s.
