With nothing to sell to voters, Democrats have been going off with pop guns against each other in this long season of debates, each taking aim at the next guy while President Trump stands by in the distance. patiently with his Howitzer, nicknamed 'Economy.'

That's put them in a quandary.

Some, such as Pete Buttigieg, are trying to claim the economy isn't so good after all.

Others, such as Bernie Sanders, are trying to claim that as the economy goes up, wages remain stagnant, so only billionaires are feeling it.

Then there's President Obama, who from the sidelines admits the economy is good -- and at this late date now tries to claim that he did it.

Trump will blow all of those argument to pieces.

Now there's these guys, the smarter ones, crossing their fingers and hoping for a global economic collapse as a means of Getting Trump.

According to Newsbusters:

On Friday, MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle talked to CNBC contributor Dan Nathan about how the booming economy may factor into the 2020 presidential race. Without any substantiation, Nathan wildly speculated that there could be another “global financial crisis” which would provide something “Dems can run on” in the fall. Nathan, a longtime Democratic Party donor and principal at the investment consulting group RiskReversal Advisors, began by arguing that the nation’s historically low unemployment was actually a bad thing: “...the labor market is really tight, and economically, in an election year, that could pose a really big problem when you think about it here because we’re just not seeing the sort of economic growth that you might expect at this stage of the recovery over the last ten years.”

They're rooting for an economic cash, hoping against hope that that will be what it takes to knock the incumbent Republican out. They at least understand why Trump is popular.

But to root for an economic collapse in the name of installing a Democrat, is disgusting stuff. The Democrats already have a variety of well-honed plans to crush the U.S. economy and make America weak. With guys like Nathan saying they hope China with its economic troubles can do the job sounds rather like speculator profiteering, with a whiff of treason.

Democrats have been ignoring the economy for so long they no longer sense its importance. Lefty market guys, though, do. They can see that the voters are repelled by what's on offer. Now they're looking for a crisis they can not let go to waste. Smell the desperation.
