There is little to say to you as you deny the economy was on the mend prior to 2016, and have no ear for the criminality and ham handedness of the current administration. So enjoy your bubble. Of course if the democrats lose the unhinged mob will be leading massive rioting and you should run for the hills. LOL.
Actually, while 2014 and 2015 had seen the economy finally recover for the most part. Going into 2016, we saw the economy plateau out for most of the year, with very little positive news about the economy. Only one quarter since Q3 of 2015 throughout all of 2016 had a GDP increase of over 2.0%. 9 out of 12 months of 2016, unemployment was between 4.9% and 5.0%.--two of the three which were lower was after the election. Consumer confidence under President Obama topped out at an index of 101.034 in August 2015 and then slid back down. 2016's average consumer confidence index averaged only 100.63 for the year.
As for your last part of your post, unfortunately, this is what we have grown to expect with Democratic loses.
