The economy will determine who wins the midterms

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

We have the Biden economic disaster fresh in our memories.9% inflation 6,00 dollar a gallon gas. Lw wages high rents and housing costs. Many high prices are still in effect thanks to Bidens poor management.
Trump has put in place policies that have already improved the economy and we are set to have great 2026.
Tax cuts for the middle class and seniors.
Regulation cuts making business more profitable.
Record increases in manufacturing investment will create jobs.
Low cost reliable fossil fuel and nuclear energy that can support the demand of AI
Illegals deported which lowers rents and increases wages.
Manufacturing moving from Europe to America has started. Its more profitable to produce in America.
Inflation is slowing thanks to spending cuts.
Gas under 3.00 dollars a gallon.

Biden had 4 years to dig us into a deep hole of debt based government spending. Trump has already started to pull us out

Well except people are stupid. Fox News did a poll and found more than half of the people surveyed believed gas prices have gone up under Trump which is a bald-faced lie.

Vs how much does it cost to completely support them a year?

$15k to deport a criminal, a mental case, a welfare case is a bargain.

It ceases to be a bargain if the illegal is working for a legal employer producing wealth for America, and behaving/obeying our laws. Then it becomes $15k plus cost for the employer to fill the vacant job, plus possible downtime and problems breaking in someone new.

 

[Anathema]

Maybe for many of you; but for certain groups of us social issues will always be at the top of our list of concerns, and Congress, along with most states are not living up to expectations so far as many of us are concerned.

They dont produce wealth they are net loss. They lower wages, increase house costs, create massive amounts of crime, send 80 billion out of the nation, distort the cense vote illegally, create misery for families by killing raping molesting people.
Take away all benefits, prosecute anyone who hires them, dont allow them to rent and they will self deport.

Lumping all together is not conservative, it is fascist.

There are the criminals, the mental cases, those abusing the welfare system etc. They are the "liabilities." We all agree they need to go.

To deny that there are hard working law abiding people here who are not "legal" is neither factual nor conservative nor sane.

It is the equivalent of calling Dr. Oz a "terrorist"

If they came illegally they are illegal trespassers squatters criminals by definition. They are going back and in the next fir years millions will be deported and none admitted. The nation will be safer and wealthier but democrats will have less support. Too bad

The economy is the key even though I believe Presidents often get more credit and receive more blame than their due.

Not this time Biden was a 100% screw up Trump is 100% the solution

The Biden Administration was telling them they'd be welcome and showered with US taxpayer funded $$$, and they were when Biden was Prez. Many were also "forced to leave" by corruption south of the border.

Yes, and that's only become worse as we've become more tribal.

 

[EMH]

but democrats will have less support

You are COMPLETELY WRONG about the "asset" side of the illegals. THEY mostly support conservatism because they are conservative and that is why they work hard and don't commit crime. We are paying $15k to deport an "asset" who is likely to vote against the Dems. How is that smart?

Muslims and Hispanic Christians are overwhelmingly anti homosexual, pro religious freedom, anti higher taxes. They would vote GOP in droves if the GOP was not chock full of left wing bigoted morons like BrokeLoser.

 

[EMH]

Yes, and that's only become worse as we've become more tribal.

YOUR SIDE is even worse on the "tribal stuff."

If the economy is the criteria, we are bound to get a Democrat elected to the presidency in 2028. When Trump regained the presidency defeating Biden, inflation was declining, industry was expanding, construction was up, housing market up, wages rising, and around here, there were gobs of "now hiring" signs. GDP under Biden (who came into office after 2020 election, inheriting a GDP o $21.354 Trillion Dollars that had contracted approx 3.5% from 2019), and saw a 4 year increase in GDP by 2024 to $29,825.182 Trillion Dollars, a significant increase, while the S&P 500 climbed from 3,756.07 in Dec of 2020 to 6,032 in Nov/Dec 2024. Yet, the republicans were totally successful, convincing people the economy was shit, due to the butt hurt of the inflation high in June 2022, of 9.06%, though dropping to 2.888% by Dec 2024. The high inflation that was directly caused by approximate $4 Trillion dollar (plus) money dump of the Trump and Biden covid money dumps, though it must be pointed out, a significant amount of the Biden money went to infrastructure, which in the long term contributes to GDP growth, vs Trump's pure covid relief money dump was applied spread across the general economy and distributed closer to bottom up as direct cash payments, spurring spending and price increases also known as INFLATION. Be that as it may, the inherited 2.888% inflation rate has climbed back up to 3.013% as of September, meanwhile wage unweighted growth topping at 4.1% in January 2025 is still at 4.1%, but inflation eating into it (though actually only marginally) is still at 4.1%, as people shop for Christmas, making consumers pretty gloomy. Couple that with various Trump policies Americans do not like, and the Republican Houses of Congress not even trying to change, in deference to their mad king, the outlook for Republicans retaining control in either house is pretty bleak. Back on economics, the outlook is not rosy for the remainder of the Trump administration, as the inflation (currently rising) is not due to a money dump of free money, this time, but of Trump policies, not reigned in by his party, so not expected to change, so the permissive enabling MAGA Republicans are certain to lose the White House, at the first election opportunity to change in 2028, as we cannot take a chance on simply more of the same.

 

[EMH]

as we cannot take a chance on simply more of the same.

because cutting government spending with a $38 trillion Federal Debt is not the way to go, just keep funding drag queen shows in Baghdad and assume the American people do not understand basic math, which many unfortunately do not.

Bidens economy was disaster thats one reason why his own party removed him. Most of Bidens jobs and GDP were debt based government funding. Thats like living off your credit card and only paying the interest. Thats why your figures are BS. Its debt based false economy funded by printing money

I don't lay at the feet of presidents supply chain shortages nor people getting tossed from their jobs because of AI.

Drag queen shows in Bagdad? Cute, but stupid. That is not where the money is going and I don't even think you are stupid enough to believe it, just being another dumbass, no study, data illiterate MAGA, and probably a paid posting stooge, at that. If you looked at the numbers put out by business and government, you would see the numbers and data points are correct. If you were a business major, you would understand the numbers and data points rule, but no. It is about your feelings, and Baghdad drag queen shows.

 

[rightwinger]

And? Polls don't win elections, only politicians care about them. And in case you missed it, Trump is not running again in 2028. He is going to keep doing what he did from the start, regardless of what the polls, the media, and you Trump-haters think about him.

Very true

If the economy tanks, will Republicans be able to distance themselves from the Trump economy?

Biden apologists make excuses for failure which defines who they are. The economy is already better and next year will be the strongest in history. The solution do the exact opposite of what democrats do and force them to face the failure of their beliefs just like Reagan did when Carter failed
