2016 discussion questions for you...elections & job-offer behavior

[TreadSoftly]

Thinking back on 2016...sounded as though folks thought employers were holding back job offers until election was over i.e. if Clinton won companies would not offer jobs. Had one person directly thanking DT for giving her spouse a job. Over the years others expressed the happy that DT was in office regarding jobs. BTW - I live in an area with heavy Fed employment and Fed related via contracting.

Question - do expectations about employer growth plans nudge voters? Government jobs vs others? Is it a permanent lean of one party over the other?

Given the present situation with CV -- what do you think people might say about companies for 2020 election (i.e. for which party would people spread positive word with respect to jobs)?

Thanks for your ideas on this.

PS - not discounting other 2016 drivers -- Comey and media circus and internal matters...just wondering about this one aspect

1. I don't think I've ever heard of this theory as affecting the 2016 election.

And I think it's pretty irrelevant to this one.

2. Thanks -- got it.

Good -- I can safely conclude that this is just a standing partisan belief about DT's current party (which is not my belief and not my party).

Appreciate your thoughts on this!
