As I said there are exceptions but a storng economy and strong consumer confidence tends to work to the advantage of the party in power the other side is when one party controls the Presidency and both chambers of Congress they usually don't control it very long Obama and the Democrats only had it for two years. This what makes this years mid terms very interesting to see which trend comes out on top.People tend to vote with their wallets there will always be exceptions but that is the general rule.We will see if the economy continues to grow companys continue to hire and wages go up these same voters could very well stick with Trump and the GOP as someone famously said and I will leave the last word off it's the economy.
It doesn't matter. Voters don't give Trump credit for it nor does he or Obama deserve any credit. Al Gore lost to Bush even though the economy was strong.
They didn't in 2000. Clinton's personal problems played a issue in that. Trump has the same problems and that is a starter.
Normally, a party running in a strong economy, with low unemployment, cheap gas and no wars is set to do very well in the next election
But we have the Trump factor
Instead of sitting back and letting the good times roll, Trump has to create crisis after crisis where he and his party come off looking like morons
Just for shit and giggles I'd love to see you address any of these points. But of course., you won't.
The Democratic Party has no agenda other than a hatred of Trump and the Party is split between the Bernie Sanders nut bag socialists and more traditional mainline line Democrats like Joe Biden.
Additionally, the Dims have largely alienated white voters....maybe forever. Hillary Clinton struggled to get a third of the white vote, and less than 1in 4 white men will vote Democrat anymore, and the ones that do are ball-less, dick-less, beta male drones.
The Dims will need to do major out-reach to working class white voters and I frankly do not see that happening because the Democrats official position is that white America is evil and racist.
Basically, with the economy going great guns and the Dims having no idea to make America Great Again....as well as pissing off working class whites.....I'd say they're pretty screwed.
And btw....My prediction for the last election was that Hillary and the Dims would struggle because the Dims have abandoned white voters and they know it. You cannot win national elections when 2/3 of the electorate shuns you unless you get enormous minority turnout. Obama was able to do it....Hillary, Joe, Bernie and the rest of the clown car cannot.
