If we have a recession, people are going to blame Trump (and rightly so). End of story. If that's the best spin the Repubs have got... oh well

GOPers practiced obstruction techniques on Obama. They know their "trickle down" -- aka, tax cuts for campaign donors and media owners -- will cause a recession that will get blamed on the president who inherits it. They are getting the propaganda started early to try to avoid losing anything except the WH. They hope to keep the roller coaster going.
