Talking about politics here - from a pure business standpoint
I am in the process of an acquisition and wonder how would the markets behave based on presidential election. Who is typically better for small business?
also the business that i am acquiring depends on medicare business. Any reaction to which party would put more money into medicare?

Political risk is more about specific policies in your case than specific parties or politicians. Since it's exceptionally difficult to predict election results several months in advance and impossible for years ahead, you should be more concerned about understanding the business model's susceptibility to different changes in the environment than about what party or candidates might win in any given election cycle.

^redacted‌- We make an effort to minimize political discussion on Searchfunder because we want to keep the community as collaborative as possible. I'll let this one stand for now. In the future, try to frame similar macro-economic questions in a way that supports our community goals. Thanks in advance for your consideration! :-)
