GOP: The economy will shield us from blue wave

BY JULIEGRACE BRUFKE AND SCOTT WONG - 09/15/18 08:11 PM EDT 

Bob Woodward’s new best-selling book portrays Donald Trump’s White House in a state of chaos. The president is under fire for claiming Democrats inflated the death toll from Hurricane Maria. And Trump’s former campaign chairman is now cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller.

Congressional Republicans say ignore all those distractions: The booming economy is the only thing that will matter to voters in November.

The unemployment rate is below 4 percent. The stock market is climbing. Blue collar jobs are growing. And help wanted signs are abundant.
Just this week, the Census Bureau released data showing that median household income climbed to $61,400 last year, back to levels not seen since before the 2008 financial crash.

“At the end of the night, when people look at their paycheck and they look at the discretionary funds that they have today that they didn't have two years ago, they will say, ‘I may not like the president, but I like the policies,’” said Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.), a member of the conservative Freedom Caucus that’s closely allied with Trump.

Like it did in 2006?

Yeah.... okay.

It will be an interesting muse to see the talking heads and pundits spin how and why the shield "failed" should the GOP lose it's ass - as it did back then... and for similar reasons.

Moreso this time than then.

Fool me once proverb applies.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

So only economics matters?
Only a beyond stupid party would believe that.

I'm willing to bet that the Dems will take the House in the midterms yet, not suprisingly to me, "the economy will shield us from the blue wave" people aren't willing to put their money where their mouth is.   *****rollingeyes*****

I’m willing to bet that the GOP WANTS the blue wave.   They’ll get to say it’s our fault for Trump getting impeached (because we didn’t show up), but ultimately his impeachment is what THEY want too.

@corbe    We can thank the lucidity brought on by a couple fingers of Jameson, I’m sure.

You may be onto something there.  Trump and many of his supporters do seem to like to play the victim card.   *****rollingeyes*****

They made that self-evident truth manifest some time ago.
