No deal Brexit good for Democrats

Nearly all economists agree a nondeal Brexit will cause an recession. Considering the US economy is on thin ice. A UK and EU recession will exacerbate a weakening US economy, which is bad for Trump. The premise is a curtain percentage of Trump supporters have overlooked Trump's antics as long the US economy is going OK. But will finally give up if that is faltering.

a no deal Brexit on our British cousins. A recession in the US is being predicted by market analysts based on the current pResident's malfeasance of office, not on Brexit.

There may be agreement on whether it will cause a recession in the UK and/or EU, but not necessarily in the US. To the extent that either side replaces bilateral trade with each other with trade with the US instead, it could even be a minor positive.

Of course a recession is bad for the incumbent, but it is certainly not something we wish for (despite what some say).
