Good things take time, you have to admit we're moving in the right direction. I agree wages need to increase. Not so much the minimum wage as skilled labor. Kids leaving high school need to have a trade. We have a long ways to go.

And with the anti-labor policies of the Trump administration and Trump's nomination of of of anti-worker justices to the Supreme Court the way got a lot longer.

Attacking the investigation of a hostile foreign power undermining our elections while the President also attacks the First Amendment is moving in the right direction?

This from a site that pegged Hillary to win at 71% to 28% on election day 55555555

Very trust worthy!

I assume you mean the site predicted a 28% chance of Trump winning.  If you think that means the site was wrong, you don't understand probability.

Yes, it gave her a little worse than a 3 out of 4 chance. I suspect it's too late to educate you about what probability means. But let me try. If I tell you that your prediction that a coin toss coming up 2 heads in a has a 1 out of 4 chance of happening, and it happens, does that mean my understanding of probability is incorrect? And tell me, if someone challenged you to 1 round of Russian Roulette with a gun containing 3 bullets out of 4 chambers, would you count on  empty chamber coming through for you?

He made that abundantly clear. But it's good to see he's laughing and not angry anymore.

Worth noting that under Obama this rate was exceeded twice in 2014, and with a budget deficit about half of Trump's.

 

Not sure which is the better Trump motto:  MAKE AMERICA BANKRUPT! or MAKE AMERICA A FAILED STATE!

Well, in that case the collapse of the economy is 2008, being a big change, was winning. And yes, Liberals definitely wanted that collapse not to happen. Bad Liberals. And Good Conservatives who love change in all its forms.

Well at least the NYT ,gives credit due!!!!! With 4.1% GDP,the highest in 4 years and.....

"The unemployment rate, which topped out at 10 percent, has fallen to 4 percent. Job growth is on a record streak. American factories, an emphasis for Mr. Trump, are hiring at their fastest rate in two decades. And the second quarter’s performance — the best quarterly showing since 2014 — was equaled or exceeded in just four quarters during the eight years of the Obama administration".

Thanks for schooling me.

I agree. And I'm glad that you do too. Since most of that streak occurred during the Obama administration.

No, unlike the anti-trumpers I can admit when I'm wrong, avoid doubling down and walk my *** back to the drawing board.

And entirely irrelevant to the issue in question. But I understand that for some people facts don't count unless they have some emotional impact. And for some, like Potus and his followers fact do count even when they turn out to be falsehoods.

Rich people are winning.  Liberals want democracy to succeed.  Republicans, not so much.

That streak started many years before Trump took office.

 

Of course according to Trump the numbers were fake when he was running for office.  They only became real when they benefited him.  Also, the NYT is fake news when it prints facts Trump doesn't want printed, but no doubt it's real news now.

 

Trumpies seem comfortable living in an alternative reality of alternative facts, one where "truth" is whatever they want it to be.  I don't know what it is like in that world.  I don't want to find out.

What's wrong with rich people winning!! Also the  4.1 %  economic growth is a stat that reflects everybody is winning in America !!  People are buying  and spending like crazy.  It's good for America!

[SinCityGr8One]

The most important fact is that polls DON'T Vote.  In the 2016 Election it was dance with the devil you know or dance with the devil you do know. All MSM is trying very very hard to discredit Trump. And the more they do, supporters of Trump rally around him. The Mueller investigation is almost 2 years old and cost keeps spiralling up to $100 Million. This is totally absurd! There is absolutely no truth to the Russian Collusion, however it continues on. Trump will finish his first term and will be re-elected in 2020.

Not in my mind.  How many members of you extended family are counting on Medicare being there when they need it?

The government is borrowing and spending like crazy.   That's bad for the future of America, but typical of Republicans.
