smoke and mirrors. Some people's rectum elasticity is nonexistent.

The smoke goes straight to the brain and they see it as good shit.

If the Dems focus on the QOL issues like, HealthCare, Economic Gap, Gun control, Cost of Education, Trump has ZERO answers. Just showing employment numbers doesn't even tell a tenth of the real story.

it's been proven right over and over again. Incumbent presidents don't lose often. When they do, it's usually because the economy is perceived to be weak or faltering.
Take Jimmy Carter, who saw the unemployment and inflation rates soar during his time in office and watched as Ronald Reagan promised to turn things around. Or George H.W. Bush, whose sky-high poll numbers during the first Gulf War collapsed amid an economic recession and delivered the White House to Clinton. The only other president in the last nine decades to lose a bid for reelection was Gerald Ford -- and that was due in large part to his decision to pardon the man he replaced in office: Richard Nixon.
The data then is clear: It's very, very hard to beat an incumbent president unless the economy is seen by a majority of the public to be weakening badly.
It makes sense. In election after election, voters cite the economy as the most important issue affecting their vote.

What percentage of Americans have any kind of retirement account or even invest in the stock market?

Maybe a more insightful question to consider is : what percentage of Americans have the discipline to put something aside.

No that's NOT a more insightful question.

But it seems like the democrats cant even agree on a hc plan. Affordable care act iS still young and instead of supporting the AFA and making sure Donald Trump don't strip out any more provisions from it, Democrats have about 20 different plans arguing about. Meanwhile Trump is around the corner cooking up something that will be far worst but he can do the better sales job. Democrats need to get behind the AFA not ignore it.

Giving the way Trump operates, and also the way his underlings cower under the power of his tweets, isn’t it beyond a possibility to a high probability that Trump had someone in the Dept. of Labor shading those numbers to make him look good in an election year?

This is the same man that used to accuse Obama administration of doing such. Now, if there is one thing we all should come to know about Trump by now, is that he likes to project, and what he projects is what he is either accustomed to doing or what he would do in similar circumstances.

Only last night, it was reported on Rachel Maddow show that they is another whistleblower who has reported to Congress that one of Trump’s political appointees in the IRS is trying to dictate how Trump’s tax returns are to be audited.

Never put anything beyond this most corrupt president, the most corrupt president ever.
