Subject: RE: Virginia ElectionsOriginally posted by Rogillio All politics is local. Having said that, apparently the dems did a good job motivating their base to get out and vote. Had Trump gotten behind him and he still lost I think it would be more significant. If GOP passes tax cuts and the economy is still growing I think the GOP will hold both houses next year. If they fail on taxes they are done. All that aside, a lot can happen in a year....so I would not read too much into this. But it’s fun seeing the dems happy for a change. * if they pass tax cuts that actually help their base. If it gets picked apart by special interests and just turns into a handout for the ultra rich, it'll be a wash. They'd be smart to give up some of their holy grail (estate tax) and focus on things that affect more people (AMT, standard deduction, marriage penalty). But I'm not holding my breath. |
