Hello Dachshynddawg,
Regards? Regards for WHOM? You've done a lot of name-calling here which indicates a rather strong bias.
The economy was already doing quite well when President Trump took office. We can never know how well it might have done under responsible leadership because we have not had that with Trump. During the 2016 campaign, Trump said he could completely eliminate the federal debt, a ridiculous claim) Instead of trying to balance the budget, he has abandoned all concern for the spiraling American federal debt, which will have to be addressed sooner or later. The debt has already gone up 4 trillion under Trump and rises more than one trillion per year that he is in office. That is unsustainable and irresponsible during a good economy.
An actual genius would understand that you use a good economy to address the debt incurred during the previous recession. It is absolutely irresponsible to reward the richest with a huge tax cut that drives the deficit over a trillion dollars. The American economy is running on borrowed time because the American government is being run on borrowed money. That represents a most serious and extremely troubling LACK of leadership.
If you can't even pay for the government or pay down the debt with a great economy you have zero chance to control it during a recession. History is a great teacher but you do have to pay attention to the lesson or the mistakes will be repeated.
This is the Republican plan to regain power after they are deposed:
Trump signs off on the biggest tax give-away to the super-rich, takes credit for the good economy he inherited.
This makes the American debt great, and puts the economy in peril, which will have to be addressed in time, probably at or about the time a Democrat takes over.
When the inevitable crash occurs as a result of mismanagement of the nation, the delayed effect will probably cause that to occur during or before the election in which a Democrat wins the Presidency. (Shades of GWB-Obama transition.)
Then the Republicans will blame the then-poor economy on the Democrats and get the misinformed to once again vote for a Republican to 'clean up the Democrat mess,' when in reality it is always the Democrats who have to clean up the Republican mess and the Republicans take credit for the hard work and diligence of Democrats who are actually the more responsible stewards of the economy. All the pieces are falling in place for an inevitable repeat of history. I only hope the inevitable crash comes prior to the 2020 election so it will be more obvious who caused it.

The GOP flunkies carried on about a "secret" being held in the basement....as one Dem senator said, "I was there, there were republicans there! Where would you have had it? The second floor? Trump was invited, he declined and then blocked key white house witnesses (fortunately, some defied him). GOP flunkies just keep repeating lies and revisionist clap trap.

TD is a right wing clod....after reducing him to the babbling parrot you have before you, I dump him back into the IA bin. First they said all hearsay, then they eye witnesses don't matter because they didn't directly talk to the President. These guys would make lousy defense lawyers in civil court.

Sorry, but the Orange Oaf dodge won't work....as Schiff and the Biden's were NOT the ones who held up military aid transactions, not the ones who sent his personal (non-vetted) emissary to usurp foreign intelligence and diplomacy by dealing with the very corrupt people the Orange Oaf is allegedly concerned about,

Just interfere in our elections to hurt my main opponent and I will release the aid that I had no right or authority to get involved with. It used to be that the House had the Power of the Purse. Not now ,it is Trumps.
Who benefits if Zelensky does it? Why one man..Trump. But it is not a favor for him. all of America would just love to have Biden kneecapped by a Ukraine president. Rightys must believe that.

I believe they are all 'aware' ... but use the tactic of 'never happened', to avoid the topic altogether. It just shows the divisiveness of the US today.
Red Team knows this is their chance to 'stack' the Supreme Court in their favor. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, they will sell their Souls rather than pass on this historic opportunity.

The reds miss that point. It is as if the biggest boss at your company said " I need a favor'. That is not like a regular person said it. It has an underlying threat and power behind it. Trump the accidental president" uses that power like a mafia boss. He is without scruples and respect for others. Zelensky was a brand spanking new prez and had little knowledge of his job. Trump got to him very quickly after the election and turned the screws.
What was Zelensky supposed to think ?
