Donald Trump’s Base Is Shrinking

So if we were to look at a graph of part time for economic reasons as a percent of total employment then it would show an increase in that percentage from January 2009 to January 2017?

Are you going to stick with that claim?

No, I stick with the claim that the Obama stimulus was a failure and that his economic policies led to historically high numbers of discouraged workers and part time for economic reasons and that he still had higher u-6 when he left office than when the recession started

You may be right. That does not bode well for him in 2020. His hardcore supporters will follow him over a cliff and then say how exhilarating the jump was.

As indicated by Montana, his hardcore supporters are far more numerous than anyone realizes.

People voted for Trump out of spite. His support is not eroding because he's utterly bat****. I reckon that at least 90% of the "Trump regret" factor is specifically because Trump isn't able to enact the extremist agenda that they strove to elect him for.

Trump's voters went for him because he is a bully, America is a nation built by and kept aloft by a culture of bullying. The regret factor is rising because he's getting his butt kicked - and Americans don't respect losers.

We are by far the most Machiavellian culture on Earth. Trump rose by playing to that, and if he falls, it will be because he became a victim of it.

Ok, one step at a time. You claimed that "the only jobs Obama created were part time for economic reasons..."
You're saying you do NOT stick by that claim. Why not? Why make a claim only to abandon it without explanation at the first challenge?

I mean I know the real reason, but I'm interested in what excuse you'll make.

That isn't what I claimed but the numbers show that when the recession began there were 146 million Americans working and when he left office it was 153 million of which 6 million were working part time for economic reasons. Were we better off with Obama than we were pre recession?
