took lead in polls this summer.

For sometime it’s been clear a lot of business leaders were tired of trump. Even Koch was telling trump to give it up yesterday.

if I'm not mistaken. The market historically always goes up by greater margin in the long run when there is a democratic president.

The casino/Ponzi scheme reflects nothing real. Tomorrow it may be down if the speculators decide it’s time to fleece the sheep.

The world of business understands that Trump has been terrible for the economy. Not to mention, the stock market almost always does much better under Democrats that Republicans.

Yes, the stock market is not the same as the economy, but all here who have been saying for the past four years that it's all a bubble and will come tumbling down, apparently never to rise again, are simply wrong. Yes, sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down, but overall it goes up more than it goes down.
