Dem rally cry crafted by Carville. Won with it in ‘92. Won with it today. Some things are as simple as fuel costs going up 50 cents. It cooked Bush in ‘92, Biden and the dems in ‘24, and the Reps today.

Trump lost in 2020 because he mismanaged Coronavirus and the economy

Trump won in 2024 because he was better on the Economy than Kamala / Biden

His administration gets all the blame if voters now see Democrats as better of the economy

It’s likely to continue as wages have struggled to keep up with inflation for the average worker over the past 30 years

There is a single silver lining tonight and that’s the realist possibility that it will save Rs in 2026.

The funny thing is that Dems are never good for the economy.

If fuel costs only went up 50 cents the results wouldn't be this damning

According to data from the USAFacts tracker and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nominal average weekly wage growth stood at 3.6% to 3.1%, while inflation was running around 3.7%


I mean that was going in the right direction.

Right direction but this is years of pent up anger over the economy for average people. Keep in mind the average person has little in savings or investments and the above average people see much faster wage growth than the rest. The average and below average are struggling and it’s continuing to get worse. Iran was the talking point to move the needle

Because the average American is retarded and doesn't realize this economy is still much better than it was under Biden

This proves exactly how mentally ill the voters have become.

Siding with the platform of pure mental illness is bizarre.

People dont know what the egghead number is for GDP, what they know is what they read when they pull in to Shell, Exxon, or Race Trac.

You must think they are really stupid.

Way too many voters think that the government can solve their financial problems and make their financial anxieties go away. It's completely irrational, but it's the way it is.

When these people feel as if the party in power isn't making it happen, they'll vote for the other party.

Same ol' song and dance.
