The GDP that is currently a smidge under $18 trillion, that was at barely over $14 trillion when President Obama took office? *That *“crappy” GDP? 
Edited to add: I guess that’s also the GDP whose peak under Dubya was $14.7 trillion.
The word “deteriorate” can refer to diminished quality, whereas you seem to insist that it can only connote a mathematical decrease.
GDP growth has diminished sharply, with indications of a revised negative Q1 upcoming:
The current level of spending is historically elevated and unsustainable IMO. I don’t care which president is responsible. Reagan and W were both big spenders before Obama came along.
If slowing improvement is actually “deterioration”, what word do you use for what happened under the last Republican administration?
It works much better if you start with the facts, not the conclusion. Try it sometime.
LOL! But as Colbert famously reminded us, reality has a well-known liberal bias. 
You’re limiting me to one word?
Catastrophe.
Yet you are thinking voters will gravitate back to that same party.
No, but the consensus appears to be a 60% win probability for the Democrats, whereas I would reckon it to be more like 55%.
You are failing to account for the vig. If you do so and average everyone at that oddschecker link weighting them equally it yields…
Democrats 56.4%
Republicans 42.8%
Independent 0.8%
So your reckoning is pretty close to right on.
Thanks :smack:
I attempted to eyeball the adjustment, but apparently I need my eyeball checked 
No deterioration this month.
More writing on the wall. This election will be a pro forma exercise.
So you win 65% of the white vote. Bingo, easy win.
Why not 70 or 80%? That would make it even easier. Or 100%? A definite win!
I had no idea Republican strategizing was so simple!
There isn’t enough race-baiting dogwhistling possible to make that happen anymore.
Because that’s the only reason whites would vote Republican. Got it.
Your post implied that getting 65% would be a simple task – I see no reason to believe why that is so. Reagan did it in 1984… is there a single Republican candidate even close to as charismatic and as good a campaigner as Reagan?
I’m not saying it’s impossible, or that Hillary is a shoe-in (though I believe she’s a favorite at this point), but your post implied it was a trivial task.
Others being what, since you bring it up?
If it’s an easy task, how do you propose going about it?
White voters have already been trending more Republican. You keep on pushing them in that direction with a focus on the middle class and families and by nominating candidates with middle class roots. Heck, we’ve got two or more in the field that are actually just middle class right now.
