Here's a question for economists and people who have studied economics -- how could the Dems and their acolytes cause a recession in early 2020 in order to facilitate a Dem White House win in 2020?

Is this possible? Or is the economy so very complex that it would impossible for a group of powerful people to manipulate it for political gain?

Thanks.

The best way for Dems to cause a recession is to be in power and implement their policies.

Other methods require far more long term efforts such as Freddie and Fannie bubbling up and the bursting in 2008 when the proper pressure was applied.

I doubt that happens, but Trump may be a victim of his own success with interest rates going up to try to kill his amazing improvement of the economy. It’s just heating up too much, too quick...

Not only possible, some would say probable. If the swamp is as deep as some think it is, a recession is the only way to keep Trump out, IMO.....unless he does/has done something really stupid that he can't gloss over

i don't think the dems can cause a Recession but i do believe the economy can slow down before the next election. The stock market has been climbing for almost 10 straight years. That is an incredible run and history tells us that can't go on forever. I also believe the POTUS only can influence such a small part of the economy.

A. Too complex for a party to start one with a President that would veto any legislation

B. Trump can be in a recession and get reelected. The loyalists are emotionally attached, economics aren't really their motivator.

C. After Hillary lost, and this wave of BS pettiness by the party and people, Dems lost a ton of moderates. They would need a strong in the middle moderate to run, and they won't make it out of the primaries.

That's what caught up to Bush Sr. in 1992.

A lot of macroeconomists think there will be a recession later this year or sometime next year, and it wouldn't necessarily need to be caused by any political move. Any number of things could spark it.

This would mean they know something about economics and believe me, they don't.

Lower consumer confidence.

It will actually have the opposite effect if the Dems control congress. A gridlock usually means less legislation which is more stable and historically better for the economy.

The way for democrats to capitalize in 2020 or in the midterms is to use Trumps own words against him.

In the campaign Trump said Obama numbers on the economy was inflated. Why they are inflated is because on average 10,000 baby boomers retire or leave the workforce each day. That means if 300,000 leave the workforce each month the new jobs created needs to be higher than 300,000.

Taking the 5th Amendment

The wall

The swamp

That is just 4 examples

What will help Trump is his strong base and if his foreign policy continues to look really good. His foreign policy will help with independent voters.

Don't give them any ideas, the liberals and dems will all go on a 2 yr grub diet, walk to work and burn candles just to make it happen.
