2. GDP has been higher under Dems for the last 40 years...

For the forty years from 1961 to 2000, the president was from the Democratic Party half of the time and from the Republican Party for the rest. Each side had four presidents in those 40 years. During the administrations of the four Democrats, real GDP expanded 4.1% per annum, 1.2 percentage points faster than the average growth during Republican administrations of 2.9% per annum. Growth over the 7.5 years that George W. Bush has been president has averaged just 2.3% per annum.

How the Republicans can put their bullshit over on the populace is amazing. They were complicit with Wall Street in shipping jobs overseas starting under Reagan, yet they convinced a large proportion of the populace that it was affirmative action and welfare and illegal aliens that took the jobs.
