Donald Trump was in Cincinnati last night and he was going on about how 'it was fun defeating Hillary' and those Cincinnati yokels just ate it up. I didn't hear his speech but he probably takes a bow for the stock market just now and those same yokels probably gave him wild applause but the stock market almost always goes up in an election year.

Meanwhile, Clinton and her illicit band of incompetents are screaming, "Victim, victim, victim. That bastard ripped me off."
The fact is Clinton should have owned Trump effortlessly but she failed to do it, largely due to her vicious military temperament, her lack of knowledge, and her unpleasant personality. She failed to differentiate herself sufficiently from any common, garden-variety Republican so she was treated like one.
It wasn't that Trump defeated Clinton since, based on the popular vote, he didn't but Democrats threw her away and I don't know a single Democrat who voted for her. There are many who call themselves Democrats who did (i.e. neoliberals) but few had any connection with reality or Clinton's history and they steadfastly refused to accept any aspect of the negativity of her dark history.
Democrats have washed our hands of the neoliberals since the tribe doesn't even want the water from that lot. They cost us the Presidency and we loathe them like biting insects and house-invading rodents.
That Clinton got anywhere at all is politically remarkable since she took the strategy of the extremely-expensive, high-polish wax job and the neoliberals were completely fooled by it. That may go down as the most costly effort ever toward simonizing a politician and it nearly worked.
Clinton was Secretary of State for all those years and was instrumental in bringing all that death and destruction to Libya yet, in the first debate, she didn't know what to say about improving conditions in America for veterans. That she had caused all that killing and had never thought about conditions for veterans was the self-inflicted kill shot as anyone so lacking in empathy isn't a candidate and really isn't even a human being.
The Goldman Sachs answer to empathy is they can't afford it and the irony of Clinton's hypocritical position with them is she couldn't bring Goldman Sachs to the White House but Trump did and hired Goldman Sachs as Secretary of the Treasury. In other words, he's as much of a corrupt bureaucrat as she.
A really excellent irony of Clinton's campaign is she tried to play the hard-core Republican warhawk and she is but the Republican played the conciliatory peacemaker regarding Putin and Clinton only managed to make herself and Obama look like idiots, extremely hypocritical ones.
Ed: you never forgave Obama for betraying your vote, did you?
Nope. He talked like he wasn't another Bill Clinton but actually he was even worse. Obama killed Clinton as much as she killed herself.
Boo hoo.

Please do a little bit of research regarding rhe DJIA. Typically the market will fall following the election. Usually about 2%.
And if you count the DJIA drop in tbe overnight of the election this year was a huge drop that recovered by the following day.
The Trump effect is about twice the normal GOP gain post election. The Trump effect could easily hit 12 or 14% by inauguration day which might not becacgood thing as remember what happened to Hoover
If you remember Obama had the largest decrease with 20% decline in his fitst 3 months.
The Trump win is fascinsting if you listen to the gentelman responsible for his online marketing strategy.
He was targeting specific counties in the swing states with specific messahes,based on his data.
And the results in those states matched his predictions from days before the election

The article I read quoted an increase in the stock market for election years going back maybe twenty seasons and almost all of them saw positive gains.
He outplayed Clinton the same way she did Sanders and she screamed Murder, Murder.
If you look at long term gains. You would be correct since the market is almost always up for the year if you look at calendar years. So linking that to an election year is very limited in its statistical importance. That the % increase is slightly higher for GOP winners versus Donkeys is a little more important.
Shorten your timeframe after the election and increase the scope of your indices rather and again it becomes more statiscally more important
I understand the point but the more general point of this one is as mentioned here and elsewhere, the stock market usually goes up and transient post-election gains may be of interest to investors but not so much to the populace as a whole.
This is all part of the attribution of divine powers to the President. He can make the stock market go up and down, don'tcha know. He can create jobs, he can make laws, blah de blah. You know a President can't do any of those things but those impossibly juvenile non-issues were foundations to the campaigns.
