LumRaiderFan Posted December 17, 2019 Report Posted December 17, 2019 Bottom line is simply compare the job the two have done. The economy is roaring and unemployment is at record lows, something that Obama said would never be possible and we should accept high unemployment as the new norm. Liberals are more interested in what is said and intentions, conservatives are interested in what is done and results. Quote
