Bill Clinton aide James Carville once famously remarked that when it came to winning elections, its the economy, stupid.
This dictum has led many observers to surmise that the currently strong U.S. economy makes President Trump a shoo-in for re-election in 2020. But what these observers overlook is that between now and November 2020 there can be many an economic slip between cup and lip. This would seem to be especially the case at a time when the IMF estimates that 90 percent of the world's economies are now already experiencing slowdowns.
This was the lesson that John McCain (R-Ariz.) painfully learned as the U.S. and global economies took a nosedive on the eve of the November 2008 presidential election, after having started the year on a seemingly sound footing.

Nuff said.
It used to be a crime to ‘talk down the economy’ during the Hussein regime.
thehillnytimeswashingtonpostpoliticovoxlatimescbsnbcabcnprcnnmsnbc will print these hit pieces and distractions until the election.
And yes, it is one outlet for all effects and purposes.
The Left has been reporting for years that the world is already experiencing an “economic slowdown”.
What we need is to transition to a Socialist economy like the Democrats want to help us “excel” like the rest of the world.
The economy does not make Trump invincible
The liberals and MSM have been posting a lot of hopeful dreams the last few days.
But success trumps all.
Wow, The Hill has been vomiting their WISHFUL THINKING a lot lately.
Yeah, that’s the ticket. It wasn’t that McCain was a horrible candidate, the economy suck McCain.
The Rats and their Allies have eleven months to tank the economy.
If we had these Economic numbers with a Rat POTUS it would be the lead in story on every news show and the daily headline in every newspaper.
We just had the largest one day Consumer Retail spending of $34.5 Billion Dollars and it was barely mentioned in the DNC Media.
But, TheHill makes TheHill a seriously questionable source of anything other than miscellaneous computer viruses.
Only extremely retarded/stupid/ignorant voters would think a socialist whiney Rat candidate could do a better job with the economy than President Trump.
Every single buffoon in the Rat Clown Car is an incompetent LOSER who can barely manage his/her own failing campaign organizations.
And yes, it is one outlet for all effects and purposes.

"It's the judges, stupid."
