So you felt the need to point out, that if the GOP wins, they will advocate for conservative ideals.

Did you come up with that all by yourself? Or did someone with a PhD in political science explain it to you?

The GOP is going to win the house. Senate will be much tougher because the democrats got very lucky with which 33 seats are up.

The GQP will gladly take away all the gains Americans have made in the past 50 years.

Stock Market Return: R - 109%, Dem - 992%
Total jobs created: R - 24M, Dem - 42M
Income growth: R - 0.6%, Dem - 2.2%
GDP: R - 2.7%, Dem - 4.1%

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Lets Go Darwin

this is why the bluest states have the lowest taxes yet all have big surpluses, right Pete?

Biden didn't create all these jobs. We reopened the economy after we chose to shut it down.

If Biden owns the drop in unemployment that happened on his watch, he also owns the changes in inflation, gas prices, crime, illegal border crossings on is watch.

Pete, you can't say he caused all the good things but bears zero responsibility for the bad things. Well, you can say it, the entire left says it...but America isn't buying it.

I think you missed his point and since I know Pete is a research ninja, I will assume his figures for the past 50 years are somewhat accurate. You are talking a couple years, trends don't happen in a couple years, why not respond to the trend he pointed out?

You I'm certain can agree that had covid not happened and Trump still lost to Biden due to his POS moral compass, you couldn't predict how Biden might have faired. The flip side might also be true, but in light of Trumps rapid quest to hold onto power, I don't think this country (other than the cult members) would have done all that well.

Carry on gentlemen.

if his stats were correct, blue states would be swimming in surpluses and republicans couldn’t get elected to any office.

you can assume he’s right all
day long.

Can you tell me by what logic you’d give biden credit for the drop in unemployment that he presided over, but claim he has no responsibility for the many awful things that he’s presided over?

i didnt miss any point. Look at the financial
health of blue states. And i don’t mean the financial health of the people who live there. I mean the financial health of the actual state.

Which states are people
fleeing, which states are they fleeing to?

i’ve said many times, regardless of who won in 2020, gas prices were going to go up, inflation was going to increase, and unemployment was going to drop like a rock.

The entire left is saying biden caused unemployment to drop and has no responsibility over anything that got worse. America ain’t buying it.

you say the country wouldn’t have done well if trump
won. Based on what? In 2020, a record
number of people
said they were better off after 4 years of trump, no other president scored as high, ever. Never. That means something, even if you happen to hate what it means.
