No matter what's happening, Trump keeps polling better on the economy

Is that not disturbing? Morning Joe mentioned this today, and said it frustrates the Biden campaign.

And we know dems will help give him a 2nd $trillion stimulus right before the election.

but the longer it goes on, more and more people are wondering why we are in this situation.

All answers return to the Orange asshole in the White House.

that Rs are better at "the economy" than Dems, imo, it's just a Pavlovian response now.

It's not true of course, but decades of Chamber of Commerce and other business groups pounding the pro-business agenda and its embrace by the GOP is the reason.

It was an interview in 2015, I believe. Don't remember the interviewer.

Its one of the things that's baffled me since this nightmare began. You see people waiting in what amounts to modern breadlines, all their family and possessions in the backseat of the car and they'll praise Trump for The Economy he 'created'.

Frankly, I think its a fig-leaf, an excuse to believe in their Great White Dope.

Why aren't more in the "liberal" media saying that drumpf didn't build the pre-covid economy?? I don't get why no one ever says that drumpf was handed a healthy economy...he didn't build it. It needs to be repeated over and over again that we were heading for a depression, Obama turned it around and handed that off to drumpf!

Someone needs to publicly ask "Gee I wonder how Trump would have handled being handed Bush's economy"

If the media doesn't do it, I at least wish Lincoln Project or others would make an ad on this point

Their enemy is Trump, but not because of economics. They are perfectly okay with low taxes on the wealthy.

Your're right exboyfil...I think that would be too much for Lincoln Project to admit to that

Maybe some other group or the media??
