Let's see. Just reminding you how you with equal arrogance proclaimed a Hillary victory in 16. I don't get baited by numbers. Not even if Democrats win if fair and square. I am interested in the truth. You know, this antiquated concept that you seem to have forgotten about.
Republican House votes in 2010-45 million Democrat House votes in 2016-60 million Obama 2008-69 million Gop 2010-45 million Trump 2016-63 million Dems 2018-61 million
Senate 53 vs 47 Rep House 235 vs 198 Dem I have no idea why you always get off on population numbers. The electoral vote is not a popular vote and legislative decisions are made by the house and senate not by ordinary people.
The U.S. consumer wants cheap shit, you think they give a shit about U.S. industry? US consuemrs dont care where it is made, as long as it is cheap so blame the fact that we are a consumer economy. Thus the deficit. The CPI is not going to storngly pick up due to tariffs imposed, that is not how this works at all. Consumers will be paying more for products because no way an importer eats a 10% tariff or 20% tariff. It is not a system wide increase on prices because we dont get 100% of our imputs from China. You are just making shit up that importers are stockpiling and switching inventory. Waht is happening is China's stuff is still not as expensive as U.S. stuff so people are paying a little more or looking for 3rd options that DON'T include U.S. or China. So much for a win for China and the U.S. I have a large import exportr business that deals with China. You are just googling random facts. Most importers I know don't eat any fucking tariffs because they are not in the business to lose money (like you are maybe as a trader). Tariffs only work if people stop buying Chinese goods but they are the cheapest in the world and all Americans want is their cheap shit. By the way the list of excluded products is huge. One of the main products I import is ON the list so I don't suffer at all. I did however pass on a deal requiring steel because the Chinese steel prices jumped on tariffs. yes the importer did not eat the tariff, he passed on the cost. Rather than pay also high prices for American steel, I just passed on the build for now.
No.How is Bannon these days? Like Manafort he was doing pretty well before he started fucking with Trump.
