Conservatives must have really taken the 2018 election results hard because their responses since have been pretty weak and insincere.
Just not feeling it like I used to...almost as if the wind being taken out of their sails can focus the attention to the big holes in the boat, with the biggest hole being the intellectual bankruptcy of their governing ideology. I think they truly believed there would be a #Walkaway, and that the economy would be growing by leaps and bounds. Neither is/was the case, though. Even they're recognizing that this economy is total weak sauce, and they seem unable to defend it on any terms other than "3% growth!"
Is it really 3% growth? Who's seeing the growth? It's not the market because that's down for the year. It's not wages for 90% of workers because those are also down. It's not in jobs because this is the weakest year of job growth since 2011. It's not in housing either.
Yeah...I'm not feelin' it from Conservatives and haven't since election day.
The magic is gone.
