If Trump.is.elected they will raise rates and gleefully blame Trump for the economic downturn.

But what will happen if Hillary is elected? They cannot delay an increase forever. How will they explain an economic collapse under Hillary? Especially if Obamacare is imploding at the same time?

We can expect, with 100% certainty, that November 7 through January 19 is going to be disastrous for We the People, when Trump wins. Look at some of the probable things we’ll get hit with:
* If Social Security increases, increased Medicare will wipe it out. Seniors have less money.
* Gun control edicts supported by Congress.
* Environmental regulations will cripple the economy.
* Manufactured violence will explode; but only in warmer areas.
* 24/7 blame Trump in all propaganda outlets.
* All out effort to bribe and/or threaten electors to vote against Trump.
* Articles of Impeachment introduced.

That's what they did with Reagan. However, raising rates helped the economy after the sharp but very short recession. It may do so again although this time there is less overt inflation and more distortion from the prior low rates that will have to be rectified sooner or later.
