Democrats will probably not be able to run on the economy this fall?
Will they have anything else to run on but the lack of competency and stability of Donald J Trump?
Will that be enough?
Should they even think of running on any other issue?
There are many other issues more important than the presidency of Donald Trump but nothing can be done about them until Trump is gone.
When you are up to your ass in alligators, it is difficult to think of anything else.
Kentuck is right, for once; but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

1. Of course they can run on the economy
55% of the people out there have no stocks, no savings for retirement. The youth have mounds of student debt and minimum wage jobs waiting for many of them out there so they can work 2 or 3 jobs to pay off their bills. Republicans stealing social security and Medicare is the economy. Lack of affordable healthcare is also economy.
Question: Do those who do have stocks, like anyone participating in a 401(k), like to see the DJIA break new records?
Answer: Yes, they do.
Question: Will DJT and the GOP get credit for the increase in their accounts?
Answer: Yes, they will.
Question: Why do "the youth" have mounds of student debt and no prospects except learning to say "Do you want fries with your order?"
Answer: They majored in Stupid Stuff, and took out insurmountable loans to do it.
Question: Will "the youth" enjoy getting even a little more $$$ in their 2 or 3 pathetic paychecks?
Answer: Yes, they will.
Question: Will DJT and the GOP get credit for that?
Answer: Yes, they will.
Question: Do Social Security and Medicare still exist?
Answer: Why, yes, they do still exist. Apparently, nothing has been stolen.
Question: Has Obamacare made health insurance affordable for everyone?
Answer: No, and it wasn't designed to do so.
To sum up, if people vote their pocketbooks and not the hysterical rantings of Joy Behar, Maxine Waters, the MSM, and the rest of the Democratic lunatic fringe, the GOP will do all right in the mid-terms.
And DU will go into an epic meltdown.
