Earlier on CNN, John Harwood commented that we may be heading into recession

[question everything]

Trump will be the first president during his re-election campaign (I think what he meant) since Carter.

There goes the Rs 'hope" that Trump abandon his pugnaciousness and concentrate on the economy..

[MichMan]

1. We haven't had any recessions since Carter?

Are you sure?

[question everything]

3. He may have meant during an election year

[Wounded Bear]

5. Yeah, that's bullshit...

2008, the "Great Recession" was almost Great Depression 2.0

[tman]

2. We'll never know about it.

Trump will cook the books over ever releasing poor job numbers.

2020 will still be a tough and tight race.

[snowybirdie]

4. How soon you forget

Remember 2008?

[question everything]

7. Perhpas he meant re-election. Bush was not running

[jaysunb]

6. A failed businessman. Failure as President. n/t

[sarcasmo]

8. A Recession and a Pandemic, Trump is full of first .

[doc03]

9. I know a recession is a terrible thing for many but

considering what 4 more years of Trump will do to the country maybe it is necessary.

10. We had a recession during Bush I

That was late 1991-1992

[Elwood P Dowd]

11. Remember what James Carville said in 1992?

"It's the economy stupid."

[Yavin4]

12. I still cannot believe that we went through 2 Bush recessions.

Then again, I still cannot believe that Trump is president.

[question everything]

13. I don't think that it was bad as that one. And, of course, he lost

[Poiuyt]

14. My guess is that any recession that may come won't be in time to affect the election

I think there will be a lag between the time a recession starts and when most people will actually feel it.
