By July 2026, the pattern will be a huge Trump-Republican economic boom. The Democrats will be mired gloom and trying to drag Americans down with them.

Amazingly, we are seeing a mirror image repeat of the historic pattern which led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to crush the Republican Party, grow a massive majority Democratic Party, and establish a pattern of government and politics which has lasted from 1933 to today.

In the Roosevelt majority building process, the President was dynamic, aggressive, experimental, optimistic, inclusive, and constantly thinking and talking about a better American future. At the same time, Roosevelt was defining the Republican Party as a party of failure, privilege, and elitism which led most Americans to conclude they could not be Republicans.

The Republicans were stunned, enraged, and impotent when faced with President Roosevelt and his interventionist New Deal. Republicans rapidly became the party of voting “no,” making shrill negative attacks, and opposing virtually everything Roosevelt did to create a better future.

This resulted in crushing defeats for Republicans in 1932, 1934, and 1936. In fact, House Republicans were so badly beaten by the contrast, they did not re-elect a majority between 1928 and 1996. It was a period of 68 years........
