Funny thing about people like Blob, if Trump improves the economy and helps everybody in the process they will hate him even more.

We all know who he will help - Wall Street - that is why the market topped 20k yesterday.

Are you in a loony asylum somewhere. The market doubled under Obama. The only people he helped were the very rich and perhaps the very poor. The middle class got screwed.
And, 2 % growth is nowhere near prosperous. The liberal policies by nature cannot lead to prosperity.
Yet you stick to them as we slowly go down the drain like raising a frog's water to a boil.

I'm not disputing you, but I do remind you this all started with "trickle down" that didn't trickle. Decidedly conservative policies.

The liberal policy is massive wealth redistribution, mainly through progressive income taxes,a high tax on business profits, and substantial governmental spending on infrastructure and social programs. This model led to the formation of the world's largest middle class ever seen, and a vigorous support system for the poor.
On the other hand, the conservative credo of lower taxes, minimal wealth redistribution, and unfettered capitalism has recently lead to the world's greatest wealth inequity via net income, and the lowering of our nation's credit rating.
Ayn Rand's rugged transformative individualism fails in actual practice across societal boundaries. Objectivism fails in every respect. Having served in the military, I learned that you are only as competent and capable as the least amongst you, so you had to make sure that weak link was pretty damn good. Capitalism is all about not caring for that weak link much, and the Republican facet is about ensuring there is a constant stream of weak links, and then taking full and complete advantage of those weak links.

The Democratic presidents Clinton and Obama helped to send that model down the drain with their commitment to OWO (One World Order).
Now with Soros pulling the levers of the Democratic Party expect more of the same.

We just had 8 years of Obama, arguably the most liberal President ever.
And, he lost 1000 Democratic seats across government and 60% plus think the country is going in the wrong direction.
There is no other scenario in the cosmos that would have gotten Trump elected.

Democrats have lost sight of what is required to win via the Electoral College.
They are wallowing in urban redundancy.

He wasn't the most liberal at all. Jimmy Carter? LBJ?
He was the most something, though. Like, one of these things is not like the others?
