Are we finally out of the Obama economy?

Thing1 said:
Republicans won under Obama mainly because of Obamacare. It was clearly an overreach, and I think even Obama knew that at the time, but he saw it as a small window of opportunity and was willing to accept the consequences of that.

I think there is somewhat of a bubble that Trump supporters have been in regarding a few important issues, but as far as I know, many Americans still care about healthcare, the environment, education and equality, among other issues. And Trump has basically been a negative for all of those. If I was a Democrat, those would be the foundation of my campaign, and I'm sure you will see a lot of that this fall.

Those are important issues only in the liberal bubble. Or at least they will be trumped by the economy in many voters minds. Healthcare was made a mess by Obamacare and it still hasn’t recovered. Good luck with going back to business as usual on immigration.

Equality [however you define it] plays well inside the liberal bubble but outside of it, it’s simply a voting buying scheme for democrats.

Better keep things focused on Trump the person.

The bolded is an amazing disconnect.

It’s true lol.

Why do you think democrats only scored well on the coasts and in urban areas in 2016? They seem determined to stay the course.

You mean where the higher educated people live?

And you always got love when a Trumpkin declares "Obamacare made a mess," as if what existed prior to the ACA was what we miss, it was great unless you got sick, leading cause of bankruptcy in America, and the most expensive in the world

Still a great non-answer answer.

I'd deduce from that what I'd deduce based on decades of American political history: with a few notable exceptions, the party out of power makes gains in the midterms.

One of the reasons I see the Dems picking up seats this year. Another is that Democrats have out-performed historical results - often by significant percentages - in every special election since Trump was elected.

I think disgust w/ Trump is real. I think Americans want checks & balances, especially now. I think liberals are more energized than they have been in many years, and that this can be gauged by the spike in candidate recruitment throughout the country since Trump was elected.

I have been telling liberals that it's okay to be happy about the economy. I think people can be pleased about how it's going, and still be dismayed by Trump and want to send a message about that at the ballot box. I'm thrilled about the economy, but also think there is an excellent chance of Dems retaking the House. I don't think those thoughts are mutually exclusive.
