As the year ends, news that retail sales for the holiday season were 3.4 percent higher than 2018, including record online sales — which were up almost 20 percent — have had a positive affect on the market.

Breitbart reported, “The late-year bull market has seen the S&P 500 rise by 2.9 percent in December and by 29 percent for the year, putting it on the verge of posting best annual performance since 1997. Thursday’s market gains were paced by Amazon, which announced the 2019 holiday season was its best ever without offering specific numbers. Its stock price rose 3.1 percent, reaching a high of $1,850.18.”

“Other factors driving the rally included continuing low unemployment and the announcement of a ‘phase one’ trade agreement between the United States and China,” Breitbart noted.

On Thursday, a Chinese commerce ministry spokesman said his side and the Trump administration were in “close communication” over completing the deal.

As the impeachment circus continues and the 2020 election approaches, any good economic news is likely to help Trump’s re-election prospects.

Historically, a strong economy has nearly always helped incumbent presidents.

If all the Democrats have to offer is their non-stop witch hunt against the president, and Donald Trump is producing jobs, a robust economy and significantly raising the overall financial health of the country — then why would anyone vote for anyone other than Trump?

That’s the question Democrats should really be asking themselves if they weren’t so deluded, in our view — and distracted by their own mindless partisanship.

With more and more Americans enjoying a booming economy, impeachment isn’t an attack on Donald Trump. It’s a favor.

Is this impeachment push against Trump a sham?
