The study dates back from 2005. That was four years before Obama took office. It also states that a large amount of the jobs growth has been contract work and that it’s part of an overall trend in the change of the nature of employment in the United States.
These aren’t trends that Trump will change.

I accept your admission of defeat and I am now done with you.

It IS a word, so obviously people have used that word before, and obviously McCain didn't write that op-ed piece. It is not a word that is used often, and Pence has been known to use it frequently. The White House has narrowed the writer down to 12 people. If they are right, it's unlikely that any of them other than Pence would use that word in normal communication.
So, again, IF this writer is NOT Pence and used "lodestar" just to point suspicion his way, then that's really low.
It’s Paul Ryan. Despite what he claims
Sorry, I meant Hillary Clinton. Typo on my part.

I don't know much about Booker. From your description he sounds a reasonable bet.
What about Bernie Sanders? Apparently polling indicated he would have beaten Trump. I don't know how reliable this is, because obviously Trump would have campaigned differently against him. But I'm not sure what he could throw at him: nothing about deleting emails, corruption, taking money from banks, etc.
All they could say is how terrible it would be to allow better access to health and education. Maybe that would have been enough to scare some people to vote Republican. But I would have thought he'd get a lot more votes than Clinton managed.
Manafort’s lawyers have talked to prosecutors about a POSSIBLE GUILTY PLEA to avert his second criminal trial, which is set to begin in Washington this month, @davidvoreacos reports.

From Trump at his unhinged Montana tirade on Thursday night: He complain that Fox News’ Sean Hannity was far too critical of him.

It was sad to see Booker’s POTUS chances go up in flames yesterday.
I like the guy and think he would wipe the floor with any Pub challenger.
He’s toast now. You just can’t do stuff like that without it eventually biting you in the a$$.
I for one am happy if he’s not in the running. Though he’s clearly very smart I don’t find him very genuine and think he hasn’t proven himself to be a productive politician. His mayoral achievements in Newark were way overplayed and then he snuck into the Senate. Obama was also young but he proved himself very quickly and was not an antagonizer. I don’t like Booker’s tactics at all. Another character like Bernie’s would be great. Or someone like Duval Patrick.
It’s interesting how people alwAys seem to compare him to Obama.
I guess because he’s black and you find him “articulate”? smh
I thought we had put thoughts like this behind us.
I love Bernie. And I think he would have beaten Trump because he had authentic charisma that Hillary did not have. It would have been a battle of extremes.
But although I like most of his policies, he’s too far ahead of where the average American is in progressive politics.
He would not accomplish anything as president. His policies would never get 60 senate votes to become law.
Bernie’s best role is as an activist.
I feel the same way about Elizabeth Warren.
I don’t think Kamala Harris would win.
Biden missed his chance last time.
Booker can talk a good talk and get crowds going, which is good for getting votes.
While his policies would be more moderate and stand a better chance of getting passed.

Bernie Sanders is an atheist socialist Jew. If you think the USA is ready to elect someone like that president, you don't have a good sense of Americans' preferences.

NYT op-ed writer.
Coward or not?
I have not been able to form an opinion on this and would like to know what you people think.
Pro coward stance - Did this anonymously. Since Trump doesn't know who it is, this means this person has never given these opinions, even in a more toned-down way to Trump. Cowardice behavior.
Anti-coward stance - Politics, especially these days is an emotional issue for many (not for me though). We saw the crazy Trump supporter (Robert D. Chain, 68 of Encino, CA) arrested recently for making threats against employees of the Boston Globe parroting Trump saying they are the "enemy of the people". Crazy, irrational people come from all walks of life and political leanings. You never know what someone might do to this writer if he/she became known. There are a lot of Democrats criticizing the way this writer went about this, so harm could potentially come to this person from anyone.
So, what say you?
I say that I find it really interesting that so much attention has been devoted to figuring out the writer's identity, and so little effort has been made to dispute her/his assertions.
You might almost think that just about everybody essentially agrees with those assertions.
You IDIOT. YOUR BS: Don't forget that even Harvard research proved that a whopping 94% of Obama's jobs were part-time minimum wage, and the rest were fake government created jobs, designed to hide the weak market. YOUR LINK STATES: A striking implication of these estimates is that 94 percent of the net employment growth in the U.S. economy from 2005 to 2015 appears to have occurred in alternative work arrangements. Alternative work arrangements – defined as temporary help agency workers, on - call workers, contract company workers, and independent contractors or freelancer. In other words: If you work for yourself, as I do, you are considered an "alternative" worker. Nevermind that I make over $200k per year, doing consulting work for major corporations.

Um...because he cooperated with the investigation.
Trump spends more going golfing on the taxpayer dime. Mueller has been EXTREMELY productive already, and he's not done yet.

My bet is it will either Cory Booker or Kamala Harris teaming up as running mates. Whichever of the two agrees to run as the vice-president I would expect that job would be forever be revamped under them; expect a lot more responsibility and a lot more power (even writing executive orders that the president cannot override at will).

Suck on that, you Christian hating pieces of trash.
Yet his approval ratings are at historical lows.
We’ve been through this. Please try to pay attention. The economy has very little to do with a sitting president.

This is a good bet as of today. Will have to see how his civil disobedience will be viewed going forward.

There was no civil disobedience. The only civil disobedience I saw was on the side of Republicans who want to keep personal views that support their agenda hidden from the American public.
What Booker released was something the American Public has a right to know. The personal views someone being considered for a SCOTUS seat need to be know. If they are anti-gay, pro-racism, anti-aboration, anti-sex before marriage, OR open-borders, citizenship for illegals, anti-gun ownership . . . the public should know. IF a nominee demands their personal views treated as classified information then they need to decline the nomination.

Bernie's wife would have been a target of Trump. Also, while Hillary was a very flawed candidate, it is tough to win with anyone back in 2016 when you have cheating going on to help Trump.

Under a fair election, Trump loses bigly to either Hillary or Bernie, or even Jill — assuming that only one of them runs as a democrat.
