... for as long as they have. Stats have always shown that the economy does worse when Republicans are in power. But under Trump 1 and now 2 -- yeah, they are really having a hard time defending all the crap they allow his administrations, and him personally, to get away with. And that's not even counting the creepy stuff from his past that they won't investigate. And yet so many Republican candidates around the country during this election year are tripping over themselves to tout their MAGA credentials and Trump endorsements like it's a good thing.
