Renegotiate Nafta - done
Push free trade towards fair trade - done
Rejuvenate the economy - done
Cut red tape - done
Cut taxes - done
Iran sanctions - done
Destroyed Elizabeth Warren's credibility - done
Made supreme court conservative - done
I mean really - the only reason not to vote for trump is if you're sick of losing.

Figured this would happen.
The US economy is just too hot in right now. The huge stimulus put in place twelve months ago is lifting all boats and the wounds from the financial crisis finally healed is a huge boost to the US economy. Will it last forever? No - but right now its helping a lot and when you're not doing well, you can't look five years down the road. You maybe look a few months ahead.
For the first time in a decade Average Joe is getting a wage increase and getting the number of hours worked that he wants to. Business and consumer confidence is back. And right or wrong trump gets the credit because of the messaging that all his initiatives - cut red tape, reduce regulations, cut taxes, end illigal immigration, make trade deals a better deal - would make the economy great again. And the economy is on fire - ergo, republicans are winning on the economy.
There is no blue wave. Because as morally bankrupt as the Republicans might be...the economy, stupid.
