Pennsylvania does emissions test every year. But Maryland doesn’t. That’s the easiest way to stop emissions. And this is one of the bluest states.

And, to be honest, the stock market tanking might be one of the very, very few things that Trump supporters might see as an indicator. Trump spends so much time telling them how great it is and how great everyone is doing as a result that the downturn might actually have a (slight) impact.

Even if it doesn't, independents will certainly be noticing, especially if Trump's complete lack of crisis management ability is inextricably linked to the markets.

Some have been (sarcastically) joking that an economic downturn might be the best thing for our chances, and it may not be far from the truth. The problem, of course, is the impact it will have on lots of people.

not show the minute market averages . . . . . . . as they did in a rising market.

Just a DJ number every once in awhile, as I noticed once in my 35 minute gym visit. Of course, that was not when trump was on the screen. [Possible they slipped in a 2nd quote that I missed].
