Joe Miner Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Absolutely. Any time a new Republican president slashes regulations and wants to do tax reform the stock market will rise. If there's one thing Republicans are good at, It's tax reform. Unfortunately, the core Trump voters who he connected with the most (poor or lower middle class voters) could care less about the stock market as they're less likely to buy stock. Pry part of the reason his approval rating is still in the upper 30's is the middle wages have remained stagnant. I'd be presently surprised in 8 years (yes he'll win again) if Trump's tax cuts lead to an economic boom without any long term consequences. So the stock market only effects the poor folks if they directly buy stocks? Might want to slow down on the broad brush strokes painting as well.

Joe Miner Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 He's one of the smarter libs on here... His takes are generally fine and well reasoned. Not sure how serious this last post was, but I never understand how people, who belong to a party that claims to be against stereotypes and generalizations of others, are so quick apply their own generalizations when it suits them.

He gets a pass, he is as silly as Tiberius is serious on here, about 1 in 100 posts. And people do have some interesting theories about the stock market (just ask them.) I have read too much to come up with anything concrete except that insider information is very helpful.
B-Man Posted August 1, 2017 Author Posted August 1, 2017 Democrats Not Down With the New Democratic Party MessagePolitico reports: But not every incumbent wants to be associated with the party’s message. And many of the party’s influential constituent groups and moneyed organizations are busy pursuing their own messaging and branding initiatives and remain in the early stages of their own investigations into what went wrong in November. Some — including the Democratic National Committee and individual state party committees — are busy preparing their own, independent lines of messaging. “There are some really useful and interesting big-picture thoughts in the plans released [last week]. But candidates have to make that their own in their state — we’re telling them to tell their own story,” Democratic Governors Association executive director Elisabeth Pearson said of her instructions to the party’s gubernatorial candidates running in 2017 and 2018 — when 38 governors’ mansions will be up for grabs. “We’re counseling people to put forth their own focused economic agenda about how they would move their state forward.” It’s led to a schism between those who insist the party will succeed in 2018 only if its candidates run on a centralized agenda, and those who point to recent wave elections like the GOP’s 2010 victory and Democrats’ 2006 romp as evidence that mere antipathy toward the party in power, rather than a memorable message, can be effective.

What the !@#$? Early stages? The idiots ran the worst candidate of all time, who was thoroughly corrupt, had no real message/platform other than "I'm entitled to the job", ignored large swathes of her constituency in "flyover country", and alienated large numbers of Democrats when she got caught colluding with the DNC to screw over Bernie Sanders. Oh wait, it was misogynists/racists Comey Russian "hacking" collusion....

Nanker Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 They should encourage LBJ to run again. He's their kind of liberal. He's perfectly qualified. Former President, from the South, says the "N" word with impunity, has corrupt friends, escalated the Viet Nam war to "the next level" - and beyond, hated the Rooskies and their Sputnik, really, really hated people from the north. He'd be a spectacular candidate - compared to Hillary.

Trump was elected legit though, on his own merit. Anyways...

Koko78 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Weird. How did that happen? Amazing what happens when you go out of your way to chase out any young (or in Bernie's case, different) talent in favor of the preferred retread candidates.
TakeYouToTasker Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Amazing what happens when you go out of your way to chase out any young (or in Bernie's case, different) talent in favor of the preferred retread candidates. It's not that. It's that they aren't generating any depth on their bench because they're losing the national argument all the way down to the state and local levels of government. Individuals tend to serve in their city legislatures before their state legislatures, and in executive roles before gubernatorial positions. That's how they develop their brands, and get name recognition. Republicans control 32 state houses and 33 state legislatures. Democrats aren't filling these positions.
DC Tom Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Weird. How did that happen? Did Dean forget about Rear Admiral Chelsea?

So they're trying to rebrand themselves with a new slogan and a populist new agenda as they look ahead to the 2018 midterms. It's called "A Better Deal" and House and Senate Democratic leaders are rolling it out Monday afternoon in Berryville, Virginia. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, along with other top House and Senate Democrats, are making the presentation after months of internal debate and analysis of polling and focus groups. Democrats think of themselves as the party of working people and were surprised when Trump was able to steal working-class voters from them. They subsequently figured out that voters don't know what the party stands for, and the new effort is aimed at changing that. Oh Chuck and Nancy...................Americans KNOW what you stand for........ The original post is above....................... I guess that they didn't mention that the "Better Deal" would be for them.................... Nancy Pelosi´s net worth more than tripled during financial crisis 2008-2010 by Thomas Lifson Original Article I am sure there is nothing at all suspicious when the then-speaker of the House managed to triple her (and her husband Paul´s) estimated net worth in the period of a global financial crisis, when the federal government was deciding whom to bail out and whom to let go bankrupt, and where to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on "stimulus."

Same people, same old message. The only thing that could have made that better would have been if they convinced Harry Reid to come out of retirement and make an appearance.
