But hang in there, your defense ordeal is almost over, a vacation for your efforts is days away.

ok. so al of a sudden, you have reason to suspect their science is flawed. it may well be, but Gallup has been around for awhile, and i don’t recall you being skeptical. or are you only skeptical of polls you disagree with.

tax cuts
low unemployment
lowest black unemployment ever
soaring stock market
criminal justice reform
energy independence
peace accords in middle east
increased funding for black colleges
routing ISIS
no kids dying in questionable wars
very pro Israel

now, that’s not a comprehensive list of results, it’s only a list of what I’d call positive results. he had some big failures, did nothing to expand healthcare to the poor, etc. it also completely ignores his personality.

but when i look at that list, and i see a poll that says 56% of americans feel those things , altogether, improved their lives, i’m not sure
my reaction is to be doubtful. i would doubt that many americans would respond favorably to those things.

Do you?

if anyone else had accomplished these things, how different would the conversation be? and again, that doesn’t mean i think we should ignore his ethics, he absolutely should be measured by that as well.

But the democrats here seem completely unable
to ever talk about anything other than his horrible personality. that’s part of his presidency, but is it literally all there is? i don’t think it’s honest to ignore the good. When i say that, you guys tend to respond as if i’m saying ignore the bad, and i’ve never said that.

After four years of Tweety, America is poorer, sicker, less respected in the world, monumentally more in debt and more divided than any time since Civil War. Under him, Republicans lost WH, Senate and House. Think about it. Was it worth it?

before the deaths at the capital i would have said well worth it. i still
think it was.

Obama left the democrats holding fewer elected positions than any time since the civil war. was he worth it? did you ever ask that question ( no, you didn’t).

If the democrats give voting rights to illegals, poof, TX is blue and you won’t see a republican president for decades at least. i dont know why they wouldn’t do that. i don’t know f joe manchin is committed to stopping them.

if they don’t do that, all the gop needs to do is run someone who will
deliver Trump-like policies without the immense personal baggage.

Make no mistake, 2020 was a complete disaster for the GOP. But they’re way better off then they were at this point in 2009 when obama
had a much larger majority in the house and a filibuster proof
majority in the senate. and the gop came roaring back from that.

which is exactly why i can’t see why they wouldn’t secure voting rights for illegals.
