It’s the economy, stupid.

James Carville, campaign strategist for former President Bill Clinton, was right during the 1992 presidential campaign when he said, “it’s the economy, stupid.” It’s still the economy that matters most. While the media love former President Donald Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric, the public will look past his rhetoric and weigh his economic policies when it comes time to vote in November.
