Nixon obliterated his opponents in 1968 and especially 1972. He was incredibly popular before Watergate.

1968 was fairly close, actually.

I was trolling a bit. It wasn't close in electoral college as much though.

It was reasonably close, not a landslide!

I was using Trumpian definition of EC > 300 = Landslide. Ignoring my troll there I think very few people have an idea of how big a landslide 1972 was for Nixon both EC and especially popular vote.

Seriously though despite my Trumpian sympathies I think it would be a good idea for Dems to lose the House and move more to the center. I could easily see myself voting for someone like Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz but he can't win a Dem primary in the party as it is today.

Trump is dog poo. You can build a car out of dog poo but it won't go from 0 to 60.

I didn't vote for him in 2016 but I am coming around. I like his corporate tax cut and I think he was right to rattle China's cage. If he can sustain economic boom for another 2 years I am all in.

Fortunately presidents don't affect the economy much. So far the corporate tax cut doesn't look like it's done much (https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-10-10/trump-puts-supply-side-economics-to-its-final-test …) and you had better be comfortable with debt. The steel tariffs are hurting U.S. manufacturers and he has thrown a wrench in health care.

I work in finance. I already see CEOs thinking differently about where to book profits and where to invest. Needless to say Obama era tax inversion frenzy has died out. Millions of low wage workers got 20% or more raises because of his tax cut.

This is, to put it mildly, not supported by any available data. ;-)

Plenty of corporations announced hikes from $10 per hour minimum wage to $12. Nobody is doing tax inversions. There is also invisible data. E.g. I was talking to Irish Dev Authority about starting a pharma plant there prior to election. Post election we are only looking at US.

Yeah, no. Sorry. No correlation between industry wage hikes and the size of the tax cut an industry received. Means tax cut has had no effect yet. "Invisible data" means made-up data. Fake new my dude
