| Trump is hoping to keep control of Congress. Unemployment numbers are looking good. |
That means within a population of 330 million Americans, those 250,000 jobs were spread across the 50 states, District of Columbia and five territories of the United States.
The truth is, jobs are plentiful but the wages are stagnant. The Tax Cuts and Job Act isn't helping when you're paying the bills. It's not helping when you're price of food, gas, energy and expenses are high.
The Republicans are not banking on the economy or the job market. They are bankrolling on white fear of migrants who fled Central America for asylum. The culture war is constantly being played by Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence and the Republican Party.
He brags about it on social media.
Wow! The U.S. added 250,000 Jobs in October - and this was despite the hurricanes. Unemployment at 3.7%. Wages UP! These are incredible numbers. Keep it going, Vote Republican!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 2, 2018

"The unemployment rate stayed at 3.7 percent . . . But the bigger story may be wage growth, which has been the missing piece of the economic recovery." More in West Wing Reads: https://t.co/xb9E3Be3a3 pic.twitter.com/z0Hf8aTWhj
Mattress Firm which opened 3,250 stores in the United States is filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection. That means its likely going to shut down over 1,000 stores in order to rebound.
The malls are losing anchor stores. About a 1/4 of America's malls could shutter doors. That means many retail jobs are at risk of closing.
The number of people working or looking for a job increased by 711,000, nudging the labor force participation rate up to 62.9 percent, from 62.7 percent in September.
Friday’s report, the last official economic reading before Americans vote on Tuesday, offered another reminder of the labor market’s persistent strength even as the stock market has swerved down in recent weeks.
"The underlying fundamentals of the labor market are still really bright," said Michelle Girard, chief United States economist at NatWest Markets. "It's really the strongest part of the broader economy at the moment."
The economy has historically not played an outsize role in midterm elections, and this political season, border control, health care and Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court have gobbled up airtime. Still, "jobs and the economy" was cited more frequently than other issues as the most important in a survey conducted in early October for The New York Times by the online research platform SurveyMonkey.
Manufacturing has slowed down. The technology industry is booming. Retail industry is dying.

So if you actually believe that Trump is doing good, you're wrong. We are going to see the economy tank. The inept leader's rollback of regulations, these tariffs, saying these ridiculous comments and pushing for tax cuts are going to hurt us all in the long term.
This is a crucial month for both Democrats and Republicans.

| Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). The top leadership will change after November 6. |
Please register to vote. Please vote this November. Your vote matters and if you want the "status quo" to continue, then vote for the Republican Party.
VOTE.
VOTE EARLY.
VOTE ABSENTEE BALLOT.
VOTE NOVEMBER 6, 2018.
Restore sanity to the country. Under Trump, people of color are suffering. With white people calling the law on Black people minding their business, it becomes infuriating that we allow our lawmakers to continue to justify this. Trump and the rest of the Republicans are getting their talking points from the same bunch of folks who profit off dividing this country.
The Republicans are using the same old tired playbook given to them by Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity, The Drudge Report, Fox News and Breitbart. They are fully engaged in the culture war.
Instead of talking about the economy, the demise of Sears/Kmart, gun violence, the continuous Brett Kavanaugh hearing or the failure to fix immigration. They rather get you upset over distractions. The Republican Party is accepting white extremism within its ranks.
The Republican Party has control of the White House, Congress, state governorships and the junk food media. Why are they complaining about the obstruction from the Democrats? You keep complaining about the junk food media. They are holding you accountable for the racism, anti-Semitic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrant and climate change denial rhetoric.
C'mon folks, the Republican Party isn't doing anything to help Americans. They've been in favor of the "status quo" and "white male privilege."
They control almost everything.
They won't if we don't get our asses out to vote this Midterm. The price is too great to allow Trump continue the course he's going.
The Republicans are going to win on the culture war. We can stop them if we get off our asses and vote this Midterm election.
