When is this "great period" Trump refers to that we don't have now? 1980s Reagan era economic policy? If memory serves me right, we were on the "brink of nuclear war" with the Soviet Union. Economic policy fed a military industrial complex that generated a lot of jobs, but was bankrupting the country. (Thank the gods the cold war ended when it did.) Add on top of that slashing a tax policy that at least had the richest in the country paying their fair share.
Or was it during the 1960s? Vietnam, civil rights movement (and the given unrest).
1950s? More civil unrest, though a lot of prosperity and establishment of the modern middle class, which was built on the trade successes of Truman, Roosevelt, and Eisenhower. Taxes were steep on those that earned in the top 10%.
1930s and 40s were marked by a World War and severe economic uncertainty due to very lax economic regulation that hasn't been seen since except in the housing market that blew up nearly a decade ago now.
This leaves the 1920s which was the last decade of the robber barons and economic elite dictated everything. There was a clear social order that nobody violated.
It certainly wasn't the 90s as that was dominated by the Clinton and the Dems, though Trump was sure friendly with Clinton back then.
Trump is blowing so much smoke up everyone's ass, and none of you folks realize it. All he's done is spout the most popular rhetoric off Twitter, ideas that will never (well, probably should never) make it through Congress. At least you know what you're getting with Clinton.
Funny thing about history repeating itself... just look up the 96 election between Clinton, Dole, and Perot. First election where the elected president didn't get 50% of the popular vote. Dole probably would have beaten Clinton, but Mr. Perot just wasn't happy with what the GOP was doing, and just had to run on his form of economic conservatism and crashed the election.
Also note that the Libertarian party has been gaining ground the last 20 years. So far they haven't achieved much more than 5% of the popular vote in any presidential election (2008 if I recall right). Johnson is pushing to get in the debates, and is likely to pull down at least 10% of the vote, most of which will be dissatisfied Republicans that would have voted for Kasich, Cruz, Bush, or any other GOP candidate, but won't vote for Trump.
I still can't decide who I'm voting for, but it ain't for the blowhard that's looking at criminal fraud charges.
