Dems coming in on the back of republicans cleaning up the prior messes only to deconstruct again and start the process over again is not the same as building on top of the previous administration.

At that time, the mixed Presidency/Congress was actually quite effective (as far as government goes).
I think it was effective specifically because of the Republican leadership in Congress. You had Bob Dole as Senate Majority Leader, and Gingrich as speaker of the house, with Dick Armey as majority leader and Tom Delay as whip. They had put forth a very clear plan of action with the Contract with America, and they largely executed it after they took power, with Republicans voting in near unanimity. Republicans haven't had that kind of leadership and cohesion in Congress since.

Someone being a billionaire, in and of itself, does exactly zero harm to me. Unless they are some unscrupulous frick like Gates or Soros who actively use their wealth trying to harm me, billionaires are not holding me back in any way and the products they are responsible for actually make my life better.

By all means though, continue sucking commie assholes and blaming your problems on the rich.

Clinton

A lot of people will make this mistake. Clinton was the beneficiary of a gigantic “peace dividend” that came from ending the Cold War. He also had a republican congress, led by Gingrich, that forced welfare reform onto Clinton.

Clinton is the right answer to “Who was President during our most fiscally responsible government?” But the answer to the question in the OP is “Trump”.

Clinton decommissioned a lot of military bases and gutted military. He allowed no guns on military bases.

He created the inept gun free zones.

He was only responsible because he joined Newt to win reelection.

He red carpeted the CCP and openly toasted in shady deals...

Overall he is the better dem President as the Clinton foundation reeks of filth.

Trump spends like a drunken sailor on shore leave. Funny thing is. His worshippers write upon him and ascribe to him positions and actions that he himself does not even embrace.

I’d still take Team Billionaire over Democrats. The Billionaire in the White House delivered the largest tax relief bill to the working class, and your Democrat heroes wanted to cancel it.

You don’t have to be a billionaire to see that Democrats hate us.

America's wealth has shifted from producing to speculating. It's no surprise our greatest output is debt.

Clinton on paper would be the answer, but there isn't a 'conservative' party that has held office in my lifetime. There's just two makeup jobs on how we generate more debt.

Slick will gladly take credit I’m sure but Newt and the GOP kept things in check.

I call bullshite on everything you've tried to say! You're attempting to have us believe you are wealthy, beyond belief, but your condescending tone and the primitive way you communicate, tells us different.
You're most likely just a snot-nosed kid who can't get a girl to like you and you spend all your free-time on the internet, locked in your room, while your mom and dad watch Fox News.
You, little boy...are a loser! But hey, don't let me spoil your fantasy. You go on living in a dream world where you're a rich bastard and the women drool over you. Have a nice day, a-hole!

I wonder if any of you can keep a straight face when saying or thinking this. Even your own brains have to be like, “Bruh.” when you try to convince yourself Trump is not a disaster.

Sadly, Clinton -- though having a mixed congress helped a lot with that.

Reagan was dealt a shitty economy by Dems before.

Bush & Daddy no

Libs are evil but damn, Republicans can be so dumb.

To clarify I meant Trump is better holistically not better in a fiscally conservative sense.

I would have thought that would have been obvious since I answered Clinton and all
