Sean Trende's "[http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2012/11/08/the_case_of_the_missing_white_voters_116106.html The Case of the Missing White Voters]" has gotten a lot of attention in pundit America recently. IMO, what is says is a lot less original than what people seem to think it says. The post-election commentary in 2012 often noted that Obama was the beneficiary of a "high black turnout." "Missing white votes" is just the flip side of this, the same phenomenon viewed from the other end of the telescope. Republicans often do 2-3 percentage points better in the election than pre-election opinion polls suggest. In 2012, the polls were right on the nose. This is presumably related to that black turnout -- and to the staggering amount of money Obama spent to achieve it.

== Price of gold going up. Apparently, people don't feel confident that politicians are going to save the day ==

The [https://www.bullionvault.com/gold-price-chart.do price of gold is going up].
 +
 +
Many other commodities are falling in price which is an indication of a global economic slowdown.  There is a debt bubble that has grown to $220 trillion worldwide.
 +
 +
The price of gold going up (even in a U.S. election year when the government often tries to pump things up). There is a migrant crisis in Europe and China is seeing economic stability.  The price of gold tells me that people don't feel confident that politicians are going to save the day.

Will [[Gerald Celente]] finally be vindicated?[http://usawatchdog.com/war-economic-calamity-coming-2016-predictions-gerald-celente/] Is another Great Depression which is worse than the first one, coming soon? Will wars break out fairly soon afterwards?  Will [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt]] content see a spike in popularity?

I don't believe the politicians will be able to kick the can down the road past 2035, but we will see. In the meantime, remember the 4 Gs: God, gold, guns and a get away plan! [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 11:47, 13 February 2016 (EST)
