Katy Tur and Michael Steele were discussing why it is that Donald Trump has a 10% lead on the economy. The reality is that the economy does better under Democrats.

1. rump, a 10% point lead in economic indicators? I don't think so, if anything, the way idiot...

mishandled the CV (coronavirus) epidemic and dragged the economy down massively with his idiotic actions on all fronts, thus causing the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans (and more deaths to come), means that the economic indicators being used to measure this economy are missing big chunks of what is wrong with the economy and are misreading investor and buyer feelings about how things are going in this Country.

No vaccine is available yet.

No nationwide CV plan is yet been developed or implemented, and until we do implement such a plan, the CV will be around for quite some time, I feel IMHO.

Things to further drop, thus hampering economic growth...small businesses have taken a big hit. Besides a lack of business due to the CV, small businesses have suffered from a dearth of employees returning to their jobs. Costs have spiraled out of control too, being that a major unplanned cost (steps to counter the CV in businesses nationwide) has appeared on companies' balance sheets all while prices for their products have been depressed, due to poor consumer confidence.

All trump-related / caused. All of them.

2. That 10 pt lead appears in one poll, the cnn poll that is proving to be a total outlier

3. "Because, I wonder, is it actually the economy then...?"

I love that precious moment of epiphany.

4. Trump actually said himself during the 2016 campaign that the Stock Market does better under Dems.

5. People forget so quickly

that the stock market was in a nosedive that bottomed out around 6,500 when Obama took office. He nearly tripled it from there, if you want to believe that the President has control over the stock market, which every presidential supporter seems to believe when the market is doing well.

6. trump has tapped into

every closet bigot’s desire to “get ahead” at any cost ... because he has proven that even the village idiot can be “president”

Every no-talent stupid grifting soul now thinks they are superior to science and reality ... hard working individuals are rubes for believing the Horacio Alger myth of “do well, go far”

Grifting, lying, “who you know” has superseded honesty, integrity and commitment to knowledge.

It appears (to me) that these MAGAts will cling to him like leeches to the bitter end.
