He almost sunk them with gun control. Luckily, he got wise in time.
The economy counts most.
Yup. When people see their paycheck not going as far (or not seeing a paycheck at all), or when their retirement accounts dwindle due to market instability, people generally panic regarding politics.
Trump would be the clear choice to lead a fix over such a situation, but there are far too many ignoramuses out there.

Here in Pennsylvania there is a proposal in Harrisburg to eliminate property taxes.
Of course it would do that not by cutting spending, but by raising just about every other conceivable tax. This would include (for the first time) imposing income taxes on retirement income.
THAT is a non-starter. The elder population would march on Harrisburg and burn the State Capitol to the ground.
“Presidents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush were tagged with sluggish growth, high unemployment and a sense of perceived stagnation — and were easily defeated.”
Nope. The 1991 recession was one of the shortest in history. GHW Bush lost because he reneged on his ‘no new taxes, read my lips’ promise and H Ross Perot came in as a 3rd party and took 15% of the Republication vote. Clinton won with about 40% of the vote.
I remember 1992 clearly. It was the first time I was sure the media was biased against Republicans.
