I don't think it is delusional to think businesses would like a better health care option.
I also think that Trump is going to be better for business, but I really hope he is going to better for workers.
Are you under the impression that HRC is better to eliminate regs and make for a better environment for business?

You also might notice that it didn't pick up where it was at the end of Bush's terms until almost 2014!!! It took 6 years!
But but but... bush! Look back further. Bush picked up those numbers leaps and bounds once clinton was out of office so you can't credit any of that crap to clinton.

America will be great again and we owe thanks to President Trump for that, not Obama!
Funny how it is never the people who deserve the thanks.
Give thanks to the elite and be glad you're being trickled on?

I think the economy would have surged regardless of who got elected and before either them have enacted any economic policy. It was already doing better than it had ever done before and its momentum was EASILY predictable to carryover into the next Presidency.
Measuring GDP is complicated (which is why we leave it to the economists), but at its most basic, the calculation can be done in one of two ways: either by adding up what everyone earned in a year (income approach), or by adding up what everyone spent (expenditure method). Logically, both measures should arrive at roughly the same total.
The income approach, which is sometimes referred to as GDP(I), is calculated by adding up total compensation to employees, gross profits for incorporated and non incorporated firms, and taxes less any subsidies.
The expenditure method is the more common approach and is calculated by adding total consumption, investment, government spending and net exports.

That's because it takes time to climb out of the darkest recession since the Great Depression.
But but but... bush! Look back further. Bush picked up those numbers leaps and bounds once clinton was out of office so you can't credit any of that crap to clinton.
Clinton also left Bush with a budget surplus that he quickly squandered.
PS: You sound like you are desperately trying to deny Obama's contribution to the economy due to bias. You have been proven wrong and are looking more foolish by the post denying that Obama's economy did well.

Nice shift in goal posts but we both know that the post you replied to said that it had been rising during the past 4 years and you had to go to other points to try and save face.

Obama is the first president in history to never have a 3% GDP growth rate. The true indicator of our nation's economic health is its Gross Domestic Product. Our country has grown economically on average 3.9% per year until the Obama year. Our country's growth only grew year-by-year at 1.48% under Obama.
Obama first president to never have a 3% growth year
Obama first since Hoover not to see 3% GDP
What is GDP?

Well yeah... This what happens when a President inherits a healthy economy from the previous President. Though I don't see you giving any credit to Obama for the economic layup here.

According to this: GDP growth (annual %) 5.3% growth was seen in 2010.
What's up with that?
In 2010, the GDP growth rate was 2.5%. This estimate remained unchanged in the 2014 and 2015 revisions. It is higher than the 2012 revision of 2.4%, but significantly lower than the 2011 estimate of 3.0% and the 2010 estimate of 2.8%.
