Opinion: If presidential elections really turn on how the country is doing, there's a good reason for the incumbent to sweat

Awesome news: The stock market is rocking!And … um … well … sports are back, mostly! As a diehard Miami Heat fan, I can’t remember the last time I saw something. At some football stadiums, a limited number of spectators can even watch games in person!

Voters are already starting to vote, and the president is already proclaiming that the election is going to be riddled with fraud, which is not so awesome.It was back in 2014 that I wrote an essay for the new year called “,” after Republicans won a landslide in the midterm elections by proclaiming that everything was awful, the economy was collapsing, and an Ebola pandemic was about to kill us all.

Usually, when presidents run for reelection, the key question is whether Americans are better off than they were four years earlier. In 1984, 1996 and 2012, the answers under Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Obama were clear yeses; in 1980, America told Jimmy Carter hell no; 1992 and 2004 were closer calls, with George H.W. Bush losing but George W. Bush winning. The electoral landscape of 2020 looks a lot less straightforward, and a lot more frightening.

Similarly, Trump hyped the recent news that the Gulf states United Arab Emirates and Bahrain are establishing full diplomatic relations with Israel as huge steps towards peace in the Middle East, when they are quite small steps—and after Trump was captured on tape bragging to Bob Woodward that he had shielded the Gulf state Saudi Arabia from scrutiny after the murder of a Washington Post journalist, it’s understandable that some critics are skeptical about U.S. motivations.

Including the United States of America. Even in these non-awesome times, a lot of us still have a lot to be thankful for. Inflation remains low. There hasn’t been a run on the dollar even though our government has printed unprecedented quantities of dollars. Supermarkets are stocked, and you can get just about anything you want delivered tomorrow with a single click.

That’s not great, and the numbers would look even worse if Congress hadn’t deployed the national credit card to provide $4 trillion worth of economic relief this spring. Congress could make the numbers look better by pumping even more stimulus into the economy, and the Democratic House did pass a $3 trillion bill to bail out cash-strapped states and families in May, but the Republican Senate has yet to pass anything. Gridlock rules in Washington, which is also not great.

He should be more worried about 2021 where he can be fully prosecuted and could end up serving jail time. On the bright side, at least he will be with family.

Gloves are off. IT IS TIME TO IMPEACH AG BILL BARR. Enough is enough.

Hey pal, 4MOREYEARS coming and ain’t shit you can do about it. This election will overwhelmingly reject the far left policies and socialist ideals.

We need to base our votes on issues other than the economy. Our democracy is more important.

Only because of Xi’s🇨🇳, weaponized, engineered in Wuhan, China 🇨🇳,Covid-19 virus ! Without Covid19, Democratic Leaders would have NOTHING! By the way? Why haven’t we heard much about NEW CASES in Wuhan, as FURIOUS as the rest of the World 🌎?🤔 Just MASSIVE POOL PARTIES IN Wuhan

The overall country is fine, markets at record highs again, just the Blue cities that are in total chaos as usual, maybe one day they will wake up and vote Red..

How so ? Muh covid ? Bwaaaaa haaaaa haaaa haaaaa

Assuming we go by the same polls that had Hillary winning in a landslide then you are correct.

Federal judge rules against Trump admin, says 2020 census must continue for another monthFederal judge has stopped the 2020 census from finishing at the end of September and ordered the once-a-decade head count of every U.S. resident to continue for another month through the end of October. NY will lose seats in the house. Why do we even have a legislature any more!? These judges with inflated egos believe they are able to decree whatever they'd like. I am looking for a congressman to reign in these radicals.
