Lots of R jumping up and down excited they only have stage 2 cancer from mueller and not stage 4 even though the other doctors (eg prosecutors) haven’t reported their finding.
I’m betting on Trump fucking up the economy. Being tough on China is a signature issue like Wall so he will go down in flames for it imo. My early view was that a China deal would get done but now I am pessimistic that an agreement is reached. China is digging in plus tariffs won’t come off after enforcements which is a non-starter for China. In my view, US and China will start to decouple and are going to be adversaries economically so this is just the 1st inning of economic war fare.
Still 50%+ in equities. The Fed loose monetary policy (no more rate rises in 2019) is making my re-evaluate selling down. Going to ride equities out for a while longer.
Focus on getting voters to turn out in local elections to turn Texas blue. Instead, he is trying to promote his own brand on a bigger stage. It is not that Beto is a bad candidate but that his resume is very lite. That would be fine if Dems weren’t running so many other strong candidates. The presidential election has plenty of talent while Beto is getting front runner media status because....he is a white male and plays in a band? Hell, Buttigieg has a deeper resume than Beto but doesn’t get as much media love.
