Trump rides high on employment data, warns voters against economic setback from Democrats
The Washington Times ^ | October 28, 2018 | S.A. Miller & Stephen Dinan

The sizzling economy underpins President Trump’s final blitz for Republicans in the midterms, with dire warnings that the jobs boom and higher wages will slip away if Democrats seize Congress.

Mr. Trump enjoys the best first-term economy in three decades with the gross domestic product growing at a 3.5 percent annual rate last quarter, and Mr. Trump wants Republicans rewarded for it at the ballot box.

Analysts agree, however, that good times breed complacency among midterm voters and that grievance, such as the burning hatred harbored by Mr. Trump’s opponents on the left, is a stronger motivator for turnout at the polls.

“We have made so much progress. We don’t want to give up that progress. We can’t allow that to happen,” Mr. Trump said at a rally Saturday in Murphysboro, Illinois. “Under Republican leadership, America is booming like never before because we are finally putting America first.”

The message took a back seat to the president’s somber call for unity and fortitude after a shooting Saturday at a Pittsburgh synagogue killed 11 Jewish worshippers.

The president considered canceling the rally and an earlier event with young farmers in Indianapolis because of the anti-Semitic attack but said he decided not to let an evil man dictate his schedule.

“We can’t make these sick, demented, evil people important,” Mr. Trump told thousands of supporters at the rally in an airplane hangar at Southern Illinois Airport in Murphysboro.

The rally aimed to boost Rep. Mike Bost, who is in a tight race to hold on to his seat and help Republicans retain their majority in the House.

At every stop, Mr. Trump touts the historically low unemployment rate, rising wages and resurgence of manufacturing, mining and steel industries.

Why would anyone in their right mind want Dems to be in control? I know....because they are of not sound mind.

The Left/Progressives have diseased minds.

"Analysts agree". Pretty much toss conventional wisdom of analysts, such as it is, right out the window.

Yep, it’s pretty clear these “analysts” have ignored the early voter numbers up to now.

Why would any white male vote for a Dem. That is like a dog voting for a Chinese chef.

That’s right. It’s more proof of ignorance, the inability to think critically and no ability to discern.

Like a Jew supporting Hitler in 1930. By the time 1933 rolled around it, was too late.

The latest Supreme Court bs by the left wing at all levels shows what they think about white American Males.
