I know I have posted doom and gloom in my recent two posts re: the economy
I think there will be a recession but it will be a mild recession at least until the 2020 election
Now I know as well as you do a strong economy and Trumps hopes for re-election
However two things could happen in Trumps favour
1: The recession, if it happens will be rather a mild recession
The reason I think it will be a mild recession is the Fed has shown every signs of not wanting a recession The Fed is willing to keep int rates low and a willingness to expand their balance sheet. The Fed says it is not QE4 but come on?? What else is it when the Fed pumps massive amounts into the system and causes the purchase of equities. It seems the USA watches the equity market and if it is healthy then all is just fine
Forget the minimum wage family with no stk ownership, that seems to be the bell weather signal
2: The Dems don't have one single candidate that can beat Trump. The Dems have moved so far to the left, when the presidential debates start, Trump will have a picnic with any of the candidates, we have seen, so far. All he has to do is ask how these social programs will be paid for. Taxing the rich will not do it and Trump can easily debate that issue.
That means the middle class will pay more in taxes. Nobody wants more taxes, no matter what it is supposed to accomplish
There are enough tax payers out there who can do the math and Trump wins easily. Not one Dem candidate has been able to show us a plan that does not include massive tax hikes, When questioned every Dem either says the rich will pay, which is a complete false hood or they avoid the question
What exactly can the dem platform be that will attract enough voters to win the 2020. Even Obama is getting in the act and telling the Dems to change their message/ Notice how Obama refuses to endorse Joe. Joe will not make it to the finish line or if he does Trump will make toast out of him
There are not enough "No Trumpers" out there once the middle class has a look at the taxes they will have to pay, to support the social programs. Even a person with elementary education will have that one figured out, once Trump explains the ramifications That is why so many want Joe to be the man, but it isn't likely to happen.
Trump will win the 2020 election easily
Trumps wife could beat him
There will be a huge power strugle within the Trump family for the 2024 primary candidate
I am betting on Trump Jr. [maybe] hedge my bet
Ivanka or Kushner will be strong competition
Kushner may defer to Ivanka as the 1st woman president. That would really put a slap in the face of Hillary
A Trump dynasty. Might happen if nobody gets shot.
Wayne,
Earlier this year I would have disagreed with you strongly.
After watching the Mueller testimony debacle and the first dem debate, I started to think Trump had a chance.
After watching the rest of the disastrous debates from horrible candidates with no good message to counter Trumps.........other than "unite with me to defeat Trump" and the backfiring impeachment sham with lying, hate gushing leaders like Schiff and Pelosi and confused, corrupt and lying Biden, I am fairly confident that Trump would win today if the election were held right now.
Before the release of the Mueller report, I'm pretty sure that Trump would have lost.
So the results have backfired on the dems.
Since then, the dems keep doing dumb things. Claiming that the planet will be destroyed in 12 years if we don't do what they say and follow a fairly tale Green new deal at a cost of 40 trillion dollars........that the government uses to increase control.
Then they show who they really are with the 100% partisan impeachment circus.
Then Pelosi claims that the end of civilization and the planet as we know it will happen if Trump is elected in 2020 (after aiming venom at him for 3 years) and that instead of hating Trump, she prays for him.
Biden, the leading candidate in 2020 is looking more confused, guilty(in Ukraine) and dishonest every week.
Trump should just keep doing his job and letting the democrats obliterate themselves.
This, even with almost the entire MSM telling us what I just stated, is really not happening. They want us instead to believe in a manufactured, Twilight Zone reality/interpretation which imposes their belief system on us.
Many people that believed in this for most of the time are now getting hit with the Boy who cried wolf syndrome.
There is no longer a more extreme false accusation or more ludicrous fake news report about Trump or false narrative..........we have seen and heard it all the last 3 years and people will not be swayed by it, in fact they are getting sick and tired of it.
The MSM has insisted month after month that each of these horrible incidents and crimes would be his demise.
Maybe he could actually go out on Main Street and shoot somebody and get away with it now because people are no longer able to tell the difference between the MSM's fake news/narratives and the authentic, objective news.
It's 100% bad news for Trump on CNN and CNBC. People know that in real life, Trump is doing some really good things and that these outlets are intentionally NOT reported that as well as distorting the picture.
They have completely lost all credibility except in the eyes of people that watch to see/hear bad things about Trump.............and even they know that they are watching because that station is telling it the way they like to hear it, not objectively.

Deval Patrick vs Donald trump
Wayne, IMHO, the Trumps are quite different than ordinary political families. Trump will win easily...no competition helps. But then the family is done with politics. They are business people who never wanted this in the first place...and after what the left has put them through who would want any part of it again?
Republicans fending off the never-ending impeachment witch hunt have something to celebrate as polling in three key swing states indicate a sharp increase in support for President Trump.
Democrat frontrunner Joe Biden has lost between 5% and 20% in the key swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin according to quarterly polling conducted by Republican polling firm Firehouse Strategies.
It is the result that many predicted and one that could spell disaster for Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election which is now less than a year away.
The biggest change has been in Wisconsin where Joe Biden went from a 10% lead over President Trump to a nearly 10% deficit between March and December.
Meanwhile, Michigan and Wisconsin have seen a more than 5% and 10% swing in the President’s favor during the same time frame.
So what do the democrats do after the release of this investigation report that shows blatant corruption, errors and attempts to interfere in an election by our justice department?
They describe it as being justified and the corrupt ones doing it as good people............while they spend ALL of their time trying to impeach a president using a phone call and their made up version of corruption to try to damage Trump in the 2020 election.
They accuse Trump of exactly what they are doing.
The objective and open minded Americans are on to them and its backfiring.

"President Donald Trump, far from being hobbled by the impeachment proceedings, instead seems to be enjoying a surge of support.
The quarterly poll by Firehouse/Optimus, conducted Dec. 3 – 4, shows Trump gaining ground in the crucial swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin and former Vice President Joe Biden losing ground.
An analysis of multiple polls by the Washington Post last week came to similar conclusions, with battleground state voters opposing the Democratic impeachment efforts at a slightly higher rate than national averages."
As I've been saying for months, the dems are doing more to get Trump reelected than Trump.
"Hey!!! Lets run some candidates with platforms the majority can't possibly support while we conduct endless factually unsupported investigations vilifying a president who is actually amassing impressive economic and foreign policy successes. How can we lose?"
The dems have long been the party of wishful thinking and they are taking it to new, previously unimaginable levels. Aaaaaannnd, they call anyone who disagrees "stupid deplorables"
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-independent-voters-ipsos-poll-impeachment-1476878
"when asked about the levels of discontent with Trump, the number of independents who "strongly disapprove" of Trump actually went down—from 48 percent to 38 percent.
Among the 1,116 people surveyed, 40 percent of respondents approved of Trump as president—compared with 39 percent last month—while, 54 percent of people disapproved of him, which was down from 58 percent at the same time last month.
Since the previous poll conducted last month, there have been public hearings into Trump's impeachment, however these seem to have had relatively little negative effect on the president, according to the latest figures."
metmike: A seemingly impossible feat to accomplish, the dems unfair attacks based on exaggerated seriousness and obvious lies by Adam Schiff and others about President Trump in the impeachment hearings has actually created empathy for him.
The meanest president in history and easiest to hate by a wide margin is actually getting empathy because the democrats and MSM have gone so extreme and partisan, using unethical tactics to destroy him at any cost and mischaracterize his actions, that people see this as being worse than anything that Trump has done.
The master scheme they cooked up to destroy Trump so that he would lose the 2020 election(doing what they are accusing him of) is, ironically, helping him to get re elected in 2020.
Justice/consequences that are well deserved for those causing this.
It will be interesting when Barr releases his report that will likely include criminal indightments for somebody(s) that were responsible for the corruption in the Mueller investigation that unfairly and illegally targeted an innocent man.........private citizen, then President Trump.
This could be the biggest swamp draining event in history!!!
