and Democrat Presidents continue the fight?
Same with Vice Presidents.
Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) Walter Mondale (1977-1981)
Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) George Bush (1981-1989)
George Bush (1989-1993) Dan Quayle (1989-1993)
Bill Clinton (1993-2001) Al Gore (1993-2001)
George W. Bush (2001-2009) Dick Cheney (2001-2009)
I'll bet these two stay in the game...
Barack Obama (2009-present) Joe Biden (2009-present)

(2,312 posts)Republican economic principles have been in place for 9 of the last 10 recessions. Reagan, Bush and Bush added $12 Trillion to the national debt and created 4 of the last 4 recessions which include 2 of the top 3 economic implosions in US history: the George W. Bush Great Recession and the Reagan Recession of 1982.
Over the last 80 years Republican monthly job creation averages a pathetic 78,000, Democrats average 176,000. GDP grows far faster under Democratic leadership. There is not a single economic standard that Democrats don't far exceed Republicans on.
Authors of "Bulls Bears and the Ballot Box," have concluded that over the last 80 years, during the 40 years Republican controlled the White House, a $100,000 investment in the stock market would be worth a paltry $126,000. During the 40 years Democrats held the reigns that same $100,000 would be worth $3,912,027.
Facts matter. Results count.

(35,015 posts)I would like to think that Dem presidents go on to do good after office because they really do care about the world and humanity. Repukes, not so much.
Although Bush Sr. did do stuff with Clinton for awhile; not that I'm complimenting the crook.
