Dems better turn this thing around or they are

looking at a super majority, very quickly.
I agree with her, consumer confidence and the economy chugging along doesn't bode well for Liberals. And all this faux outrage towards the President is going to backfire. Super majority train is heading this way.

You talking about the president with less than 40% approval?

How long did it take you to find an article that supported that position?

Trumps President and polls told you he was a sure loser. R's have swept this nation locally, state legislatures and Governorships. You still watching polls?

Sounds like the same argument MOST of us (including me) were making just last year.
No way Trump can win the primary...no way will he beat Hillary..
Well..

Again, that is the laziest logic

What evidence is there that Republicans will gain more seats or do well in the mid-term elections?
The DOW is the reason?
I have no idea what will happen, but there are historically very red districts that have had very close elections recently.
It's way too simplistic to say that the "success" or the optimism related to the economy is going to make people vote Republican.

I don't claim the DOW is the reason, i don't necessarily agree with the OP link.
I just don't think I'll bet against Trump in 2020. He #### sure outperformed the polls in 2016.

Actually the final polls were fairly accurate. They predicted Clinton by 2%. She did in fact get 2% more of the popular vote.
The polls couldn't take into account the electoral college. In fact, Trump barely won the electoral college by roughly 77,000 votes spread across Mich., Penn., and Wisc.

Maybe, but most conservatives don't take him very

seriously and think of him as kind of a clown, and their outrage isn't faux.
The economy, though, will eventually tell the tale, and I hope it keeps chugging, but it's been improving since 2009. When was the last time, the economy went over ten years without a real slow-down? This would be a cyclical thing, and I wouldn't blame Trump but the reality is that it could easily happen.

the differences in economic policy between the two parties is all how quickly you want to get to the bottom of the garbage heap, slow in steady, or fast and erratic.

Our bored dems know exactly what's going to happen.

I can say that if the economy gets better with jobs being added and people feeling they are better off Trump will get a second term after the dems lose a few seats in the midterm. I do not believe pubs will get a super majority in the midterms.
Dems are fighting hard to delay that progress hoping they can swing the balance of Congress in the mid terms. The fight will grow more and more intense at least until them.
"It's about the economy, stupid," and they know this. They also understand Reagan's question, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?"

History says that when the GOP is in control, a recession is on the way. Trump will speed it along by screwing-up world trade.
Every smart economist knows that the rich in the US do not need a taxcut -- the 1% is richer now than ever b4. Also, smart economists know that taxcuts for the lower and middle classes stimulate the economy (b/c they need to spend that money) while taxcuts for the rich are squandered on themselves or added to their bank account (and create only a few jobs).
But all the (rich) GOPs keep trying to trick the economy while putting your money in their pocket. And, sadly, conservative people fall for this routine over and over.

So?

Don't fear a tax reform bill. The wealthy are paying much more than their fair share now. I'm poor, I'v been poor since my rich daddy died and my phsyco mama wasted the wealth he had gathered through hard work. I've never believed that those who have should be obligated to give to those who don't.
My dad was fair to me but he worked my azs off starting when I was seven years old. Get a job and quit trying to take from others. It's wrong.

Many analysts are calling for a big market selloff soon.

I am not sure how that will effect the elections though, but it might.

I am in a few conservative things at the moment and I am out
Jun 14, 2017, 7:02 PM

generally speaking as a whole. I have been out for a few weeks with most of my positions. I did well though. I have been doing well with silver though now over the last month too. I just went a little more conservative. The market always keeps seeming to go up and I very well could be wrong, but I got a little nervous. No telling what will happen.

There's always a big selloff after the huge gains we've seen
Jun 14, 2017, 6:54 PM
[ in reply to Many analysts are calling for a big market selloff soon. ] |

The only sell offs we'll see will be small until the tax bill is signed. The markets will react to the potential of a a good bill on insurance and taxes by climbing. If the bill is good the market should be sweet. Of course this is my opinion and not suitable for trading advise.
