The democrats changed the rules with circuit appointees several years ago yet I never heard libs complain about that.

Trump has not won a single thing, not even the Presidency. He was able to steal the election because of Russia's help, his campaign lies and an antiquated Electoral College which should just be abolished or amended. Whoever wins the populate vote should win, period!
Gore wouldn't have been any better than Bush '43 though. Rutherford B Hayes and William Harrison are the only three other instances of the electoral college differing from popular vote totals. What I will say is the electoral college needs to be altered. I think votes should be proportional to the popular vote in the state.

But more importantly, I'm waiting for GDP growth to get rammed into overdrive. If Trump's deregulation and other policies can get 3.5-4 percent growth even for a few years, then that would be a terrific boost for the economy as a whole. If it happens, then that will be winning like nothing else. Shall wait and see.

I think you may be talking about the Trump bump? Yes the stock market has ripples based on political times. That can go either way. It has very little to do with a bull market or a bear market. The stock market is a beast of it's own and controlled by wealth, not one man.

Are you referring to the tax cut for the rich and the hopeful trickle down growth? It's a smoke and mirror scam. Just look at Kansas and the disaster it turned into. You are putting too much faith in a con man that has enriched himself at our expense, and will continue to do so. Ever wonder who pays for his business trips to his local hotel and Mar-A-Lago? What about his other golf resorts? Do some research about it.

I also point to the Bush tax cuts.Those didn't work. Lowering tax rates even less than the Bush tax cut rates is foolish when the Bush era tax cuts didn't increase the economy.
