Is this a change election? / Are you tired of hearing this is a change election?




This is NOT a change election. Most incumbents won their primary. Hillary won the Democratic primary. Trump is an outlier this year, not an indicator. She's polling ahead of him and will probably win. Obama's approval rating is high. This is not a change election, and I'm sick of hearing pundits like Chuck Todd go on and on and on about how this a change election.

Most Americans wish it was, yet luckily are wise enough to identify change for the worse.

I've noticed circular reasoning here: Trump is going to win because it's a change election! How do I know it's a change election? Because Trump is going to win!

Yes, I'm tired of it.

People are looking at the right track/wrong track numbers and failing to realize how much of the "wrong track" is from Democrats who think the country is on the wrong track largely because of either the Republican Congress or because of Trump.

The incumbent president and his party are more popular ... compare this to the last "change" election. People are irritable but not seeking change for the sake of it, this is not a change election.

It's not a change election. It was not in the Democratic primary and it is not in the general. It's not 2008. There's nothing even indicating that it's a change election aside from hardcore Republicans/Trump supporters who thought 2012 would be one too.

It should have been a change election. Unfortunately trump has done nothing but make the establishment look good by comparison.
