We need what is going to happen, to happen sooner.

An economic down turn. Nothing would hurt Trump worse with his voters than this. It's going to happen, but when?

I hope he starts a trade war. I hope he starts a tariff war. Trump has been riding Obamas coattails when it comes to the economy. It really pisses me off.

The best thing that could happen is we get bad economic news right before the midterms.

economy for most people.

Trying to explain Obama set the stage when we are on brink and things will likely get worse under trump, ain't gonna work with ignorant white wingers who believe deporting "illegal" immigrants and sticking it to foreign countries will make things better. Just the way it is, unfortunately.

It always does under Repuke economics. Hope it happens at the worst time for the Con. Even now the big poverty numbers (which I really am a member of) and amount of income inequality is not making for a healthy economy.

Let's get ON with it.
It's driving me crazy. I'm holding my breath and praying (and I'm an atheist)

I HOPE this criminal, suspense thriller has a happy ending for our country/planet and all the bad guys get "offed".

Trumpsters aren't going to vote dem. If the economy crashed, they would be convinced it was Dems fault. That if they had supported Twitler like good citizens everything would have been fine. If we GOTV we will be fine.

But a economic downturn could turn swing voters who voted Trump in 2016 toward us, and it could keep traditional Republican voters home.

Let's all cross our fingers and hope that millions lose their jobs! And their homes! And their retirement accounts! And their kids' college funds! Because, the worse it is for REAL PEOPLE, the better it will be for Democrats!

Really, do you have any idea what you are hoping for?
