Trump has shot at taking Minnesota in next election

If AOC doesn't win reelection, I will start sending out tweets like the whole freaking rest of the world.

I'm not worried though.

The Democrats have a shot at taking Texas in 2020 also, just about the same as Trump has a shot at MN.

There is a chance the economy implodes and Trump gets blamed and the Dems enjoy a "sweep" of borderline states like NC and TX and even GA, not to mention FL and OH etc.

• The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note was at 1.623%, below the 2-year yield at 1.634%.
  
• The last inversion of this part of the yield curve was in December 2005, two years before a recession brought on by the financial crisis hit.
  
• A recession occurs, on average, 22 months following such an inversion, according to Credit Suisse.
  
  
  • The last five 2-10 inversions have eventually led to recessions.
    
    
  • A recession occurs, on average, 22 months following a 2-10 inversion.
    
    
  • The S&P 500 is up, on average, 12% one year after a 2-10 inversion.
    
    
  • Itâ€s not until about 18 months after an inversion when the stock market usually turns and posts negative returns.
    

Hence my prediction of a recession to hit in October of 2020. Could happen before that. Voters make up their minds by July of the election year. It could be close.

Recessions do happen, it's the way capitalism works.   The last recession which occurred under Bush transitioned to Obama...how exactly did he handle it?

Tax cuts and spending, and of course the Fed did some stuff.
