Professor lichtman's 2020 prediction

there's a pattern of a president of a party serving 2 terms since 1945.

there were 2 breaks in that pattern.
Carter & Bush 41. (36 years & 12 years respectively)

2 = 8 years
1 = 4 years

1945 - Truman ... 2 (D)
1953 - Eisenhower 2 (R)
1961 - Kennedy .. 1 (D)
1965 - Johnson .. 1 (D)
1969 - Nixon/Ford 2 (R)
1977 - Carter ... 1 (D)
1981 - Reagan ... 2 (R)
1989 - Bush 41 .. 1 (R)
1993 - Clinton .. 2 (D)
2001 - Bush 43 .. 2 (R)
2009 - Obama .... 2 (D)
2017 - Trump .... 1 (R)

Carters economy sucked...that wasn't the question.
I guess you're too young to remember the "misery index" and interest rates and inflation. Carter won in'76 because of Watergate and no other reason...he was a good person but TERRIBLE president...question was good economy...please answer the question.

Bush went back on his promise...read my lips "no new taxes"
Also Ross Parrot was a HUGE reason he lost the race.

Still waiting on your ill fated attempt at answering my question SPEED!! Originally Posted by bb1961

I said Daddy Bush. I did not use Carter as an example at all. All I said that in my lifetime he was the only POTUS other than Bush to not get reelected.

I answered your question. Daddy Bush was not reelected while there was a prosperous economy.

my 401k year to date is up 12% and 1 year is up 8%. what's your point? the market drops a bit and you yell PANIC?

ok. go ahead. i checked my 401k today am my "losses" today were ... 0.05% that's one half of one percent.

yeah. time to PANIC isn't it?

the only thing that separates you from the other Trump haters is that you try to make a reasonable point. you are usually wrong but at least you try unlike some of the "trolls" here. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

I would be happy to supply you with the estimates of the negative impact of the current tariff war with China if you like.

Yes, the U.S. markets are up for the year due to a rapid climb in January and February. Overall, DJIA is up about 6.3%. But for the first time in many years (since 2011) the DJIA has gone down 6 weeks in a row.

Time to panic? No. Time to be concerned? Yes. Remember that only 54% of the people in this country have investments in the stock market. The other 46% couldn't care less about the stock market. But we will all see the rise in prices on virtually everything we purchase in the future -- food, cars, TVs, phones, personal computers, etc.

So tell me how I am wrong on this subject.

Here are the latest 2020 presidential election predictions by 4 people/companies. All 4 come to the same conclusion at this point in time -- the election will be close and the outcome is dependent on voting results in a few states -- Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Florida according to most predictions. Some variation between the 4 sources.

"The recession of the early 1990s lasted from July 1990 to March 1991. It was the largest recession since that of the early 1980s and contributed to George H.W. Bush's re-election defeat in 1992."

So you could be correct in that a sitting POTUS has not lost reelection when the economy has been strong.

I'll interpret that as you saying you have absolutely no idea what tariffs are being imposed by other countries on the U.S. that are truly unfair and biased.
