US voters, when unhappy, tend to vote for the opposite of the last guy. So who's the anti-Trump?
Bernie is on one level, but would spend money like water like Trump does. And has a similar propensity for repeating the complaints that working people articulate to him without finding real solutions.
Bloomberg is interesting as an anti-Trump though. He's actually rich, not pretend rich, and is everything Trump says he is but isn't. Not in anyone's pocket either. Talks like a CEO to shareholders and is less than inspiring, so I have discounted him up to now. But maybe US voters want that. Maybe many want the crazy talk to stop and for politics to be boring again. And like Trump in 2016, Bloomberg has a campaign game plan unlike any other candidate.
With a US recession increasingly likely (1.3 trillion deficit, 23 trillion debt, ag in recession, manufacturing iffy, just consumer confidence keeping the fantasy afloat), part of me wants Trump to continue. When the faeces hits the ventilating appliance then Trump should own it. Because if Trump voters (who tend to have most of the assault weapons, as we are reminded regularly by some Trump supporters here) have to endure a Trump recession under a new President without realising Trump created it then the US may never recover.
