Between W Bush and Trump, I'll be amazed if Republicans ever win the presidency again. It's just a fact that in recent history, Democrats run the country better.

After GWB it was said no Republican would win again, probably a fair assessment given how his term ended. After President Trump won over Pres Obama's endorsed heir, the left decided to further divide our country and undermine our leader by blaming 'Russia', a nation they and Obama arrogantly laughed off as a relic of the cold war not so long ago.

Next Republican president they'll probably blame China after laughing them off as a bunch of dumb commie WoW gold farmers.

you mean the 10 trillion in debt added by obama in less than 10 years time?

bush was a disaster, and trump got off to a very shaky start, but lets not pretend like obama was a big win as president. he got few things done, his legacy (outside of being the first black president) will be minor, he added a lot of debt, he didnt heal the divided country as he promised on the campaign trail; instead the country went out of his terms in office even more polarized and toxic than before.


blame reagan for starting the trend of being "fiscally responsible" by cutting taxes without knowing if he could balance it by cutting spending. "starve the beast" is still more mindbogglingly idiotic than anything trump has done so far

Had John McCain got elected you would've seen similar deficits, probably more, because Republicans cut taxes but don't cut spending. So, I agree that Obama deserves criticism for the debt he racked up, but Democrats and Republicans in congress share the blame equally.

I'm not some big Obama fan, it's just plain as day that Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were much better presidents than Bush and Trump.


Exactly, the debt would've rised comparably under almost any other president. People don't understand debt inflation.

Also he brought us out of a massive recession.

It is true that Trump made Russia great again.

You know Kings Landing made itself the financial and political center of the world. They shouldn't be surprised when the people they rule show up.

Nah, the GOP will win one of the following: 2020, 2024, 2028.
