i base my facts on personal experience. I received higher pay raises under Trump than Obama. I haven't seen a pay raise under Biden. Lets not even mention the gas prices. from Obama to Trump to Biden. Unemployment rate is 3.9%. Inflation and gas prices are up worldwide due to a myriad of factors. Wage gains have been higher overall despite your personal circumstances. Jobs report continues to outpace job gains under trump. What exactly did trump do that made the economy wonderful? And do we give Obama credit for having good results that trump walked into? The unemployment rate hasn't really changed since Biden took office. As far as gas and inflation you are correct there is a myriad of factors but the united states could do more like ease up on drilling regulations that Biden put back into effect that Trump removed. I'm not going to put Trump on a pedestal he definitely could have been better, and to be honest I'm not really interested in comparing past presidents other than saying in my personal experience outside of Bill Clinton I have always done better with a republican president in office.

I love it when someone has no argument to post and posts about "Republican Jesus" and now we are turning it into a religious discussion. Yeh, like how Christian are you? I know that is addressed only to me or fellow republicans. Take that stuff and stuff it.

The unemployment rate has dropped over the last year, it was 6.4% when he took office, now 3.9%. Seems to be a significant change to me. We have had record job growth. I do not know where you are getting your numbers. As far as drilling, that will not have an immediate effect on gas prices. He is not preventing oil companies from increasing output on their own land if they want to.

He is not preventing oil companies but going back to the Obama regulations are not the way to go. Just drives prices up.

I posted to everyone here last November inflation was going to be huge in the months to come..........check out the thread on Bidenflation, but like every other thread people made it all about Trump instead of keeping their eye on the thread premise. Heck you were also on it.

gas prices were fine until Biden was elected. Yes, then demand because to increase because of vaccines allowing opening up of the economy. In the meantime, Trump’s ask of Big Oil to slow production, which they did, caught up with us. Then Russia. Then Biden requested Big Oil help out by pumping more. They declined and said Wall Street was requesting windfall profits. This, even though there are 9000 active permits on Fed land with no drilling activity. Do you see now how Biden is responsible?🤪🤡🤪🤡🤪🤡🤪🤡 In 2008 W had gas at what would be an inflation adjusted $5.38/gal. Whose fault was that, Clinton?

The idea that the economy was so much better under trump is laughable. Just goes to show how misinformed and ignorant most republicans are. Just like trump, they are fact challenged i base my facts on personal experience. I received higher pay raises under Trump than Obama. I haven't seen a pay raise under Biden. Lets not even mention the gas prices. from Obama to Trump to Biden. your provincial situation, though PERSONALLY relevant, is not a reflection of the circumstances of average Americans. ie: it is possible that your employer is a defense contractor (defense budgets have been better under GOP presidents) or a private hospital. but don't mistake the exception for the rule. PS- my employees got a 4.2% COL raise this year. that was more than under any president since Carter. but that is because inflation is so high. if you have not got a raise from your employer for COL, i would demand it.

Just drives prices up. you seem to misunderstand PPP. you were paid to stay home ONLY if you remained employed. therefore, the job increases were NOT due to the factor you cited.

my standard question to those that blame Biden for US inflation is to ask them if he is also responsible for Spanish inflation?
The answer is NO:
Spanish inflation is almost identical to US inflation because Spain and the US are both global economies.
what we are looking at is a GLOBAL inflation problem.
they act like i am being silly when i ask that question, but i am NOT.

odds of Democrats winning the Senate are up to 53%: www.racetothewh.com/senate/2022it is not really the percent. that is razor thin. it is the TREND. that is also quite good for Democrats. they have only been below 50/50 odds once since the beginning of the year, and only for three days (end of Jan). there are FOUR tossup states at this time: Georgia, PA, OH, and NV. of those four, GA and NV are the closest, and the GOP only leads in OH. the GOP hold Ohio and PA, and Dems hold NV and GA, but lead in three of the four states (GA, PA, and NV). the best bet for the GOP is probably to win in NV and then one of the other states. the problem for them is that they are trailing by 5% or so everywhere other than NV (and Ohio, were, again, they lead). remember: an even split on the tossups puts us right where we are, and the GOP are BELOW that mark as of today, and are losing ground. REMEMBER: these are all tossup states. so, it is not hard to imagine either party sweeping all four. but the path to a sweep is far easier for Democrats right now.

With both parties embracing extreme gerrymanders, the national map, before this week, appeared to have erased much of the pro-GOP bias that distorted the last decade of US House races. After a decade in which the median US House district leaned as much as 5.6% toward the GOP, the national congressional map was looking more balanced than it has in several cycles. (emphasis added) Opinion: Gerrymandering on steroids is the new normal The link discusses how "activist" judges in blue states are voiding extreme Democratic maps while red state courts are allowing extreme Republican maps to be used.

ultimately, it won't matter much, so long as the maps get more balanced. NOTE: i have read the article, and many others like it. this is my opinion, perhaps not supported by fact.

Balanced in all states, not just in some states. The article points out that this is not necessarily happening. There is more gerrymandering being allowed in red states. Also: State redistricting commissions, largely pushed by Democrats as a brake on political gerrymandering, now are preventing the party from capitalizing on the past decade’s population boom among city dwellers and minorities, who traditionally vote Democratic.
In many Republican-dominated states without such panels, GOP lawmakers are freely drawing maps that would give their party more congressional and state legislative seats. Democrats in some purple or left-leaning states, meanwhile, find themselves hampered by commissions that are giving Republicans political parity that belies the growth in Democratic-leaning populations. Bipartisan Commissions Cause Redistricting Pain for Democrats

‘Democracy in Florida is not functioning.’ Governor’s rigged maps rob Black voters of powerAs Florida Republicans gave final approval to new congressional districts on Thursday, Black lawmakers staged a sit-in on the floor of the legislature, praying, chanting and singing that Black voters were under attack in the state. The extraordinary moment served as a remarkable endpoint to a brazen attack by the Republican governor, Ron DeSantis. Earlier this month, in an unprecedented move, Republicans in the legislature took the unusual step of allowing DeSantis to take the lead on drawing new congressional districts. The governor’s plan went out of its way to reduce from four to two the number of districts where Black candidates can elect the candidate of their choosing. The plan significantly distorts the map in favor of Republicans, giving them a hold on 20 of 28 congressional seats in a state Donald Trump won in 2020 with 51.2% of the vote. According to FiveThirtyEight, the Florida map is nearly tied with Texas as the most biased in the US. DeSantis got his map after rejecting less biased but still GOP-friendly maps proposed by the legislature. The fact the legislature ceded its power to DeSantis only underscores how the governor, considered a potential presidential candidate in 2024, controls Florida politics. “For all intents and purposes, there’s currently, in Florida, one-man rule,” said Mac Stipanovich, a longtime Republican strategist who is now retired. “Democracy in Florida is not functioning. It’s not gone, the structure is there, the possibility of a return to representative government with checks and balances remains. But it’s not currently functioning.” DeSantis’s plan does not make a serious effort to comply with legal protections for minority voters. An amendment in the Florida constitution, overwhelmingly approved in 2010, makes it illegal to draw a district that diminishes the ability of a minority to elect the candidate of their choosing. DeSantis nonetheless eliminated two districts that allow Black voters to do so. The governor has openly talked about his desire to get rid of the fifth congressional district, which is 46% Black and stretches from Jacksonville to Tallahassee. Complete article here: ‘Democracy in Florida is not functioning.’ Governor’s rigged maps rob Black voters of power

It isn't "rally the troops" if by troops you mean voters. I encourage a (re?)-reading of the article.

This might be interesting: Utah Democrats throw support behind independent Evan McMullin to take on Mike LeeMcMullin, a former CIA officer and onetime House GOP aide, ran for president in 2016 as an anti-Trump conservative. While he got less than 1% of the popular vote, his candidacy earned about 22% of the vote in Utah, his best showing of any state. Background: Utah was won by Trump, who won the state with 45.5 percent of the vote, the lowest percentage for any Republican since George H. W. Bush in 1992. Clinton received 27.5 percent of the vote, and Republican-turned-independent candidate Evan McMullin received 21.5 percent.link

Dems haven’t won a senate seat in Utah since 1970, but the Dems plus the Independents plus whatever part of the GOP supporters are sick of Trump just might defeat Mike Lee. I hope it’s successful.

Current GA polls show Trump enemy Kemp has as much as a 24 point lead on Trumps candidate, David Perdue for the Governor race.
Kemp is ignoring Trump and running on a ‘what’s good for Georgia’ platform. Perdue, who has the charisma of an ice sculpture, keeps repeating how Kemp caused the Big Lie to happen in GA in 2020.
Kemp is leaning far right in order to lure in conservative Georgians, like a bill allowing everyone to carry fire arms in public - no permit needed. It may lure in the conservatives but will give ammunition to the Dems in the general election.
Trump is trying to throw bombs at Kemp - such as how Kemp isn’t protecting MTG against the lawsuit trying to keep her from running for office- but surprisingly it doesn’t seem to be sticking with the usual Trump minions.
Is Trump losing his control of the party? I think yes - and it’s because he can’t let the 2020 election go.

Trump is trying to throw bombs at Kemp - such as how Kemp isn’t protecting MTG against the lawsuit trying to keep her from running for office- but surprisingly it doesn’t seem to be sticking with the usual Trump minions. Is Trump losing his control of the party? I think yes - and it’s because he can’t let the 2020 election go. i think there is a slow erosion, particularly of enthusiasm for that gasbag. Could be true. Has anyone noticed Trump is pretty much been taken out of the breaking news feeds lately? Unless it has to do with the Congressional investigation you do not see much of him in the news feeds, or the article dies hours after posted on the website. He is nowhere even on national news orgsnizations on the nightly news on current events. Only the stories from his Presidency are talked about these days.
