    Agree. I have never been against such spending, but GOP often has. Our country needs a large infrastructure overall, and such spending tends to create good jobs, too.

    It never was, and usually isn't. POTUS is a popularity contest. Sad, but true. The last time it seemed to be about policy was the Reagan election, with the bear commercial. But Reagan was also likable, so even then probably mostly popularity contest.

    They are about the same, there's a reason why Trump was such a big Hillary supporter 8 years ago.

    No, this is just juvenile name-calling. The truth is something like this: https://mobile.twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/761319438528421888

    Hillary up by 9. About the same result in multiple recent polls.

    The objective truth is that things are not going well for your boy.

    McCain lost the second the economy crashed. You don't need to look any further than the daily tracking polls to know that. No Republican was winning in 2008 after the crash.

    yes, if trump loses it will be the fault of other republicans! i hope he keeps pushing this and trump supporters continue to believe it. just another nail in the coffin of the GOP!

    these people are delusional and the more they blame others for their candidates failures the less likely they will be to adjust their strategy and tamper down the craziness...resulting in even further marginalization of all these turds.

    many republicans believe that they lost in 2008 and 2012 b/c mccain and romney were not conservative enough...they actually believe that if their nominees had been more extreme right-wingers that the rest of america would have chosen them. they are clueless.

    Shame the Republicans didn't listen to Obama when he was pushing for infrastructure with a bigger stimulus or a modest minimum wage increase.

    Do you have any data that contradicts this?

    If you disagree, isn't it your job to find data that contradicts his point?

    I don't think he's that rash. I believe this is a more accurate representation of his choices:

    Just curious - in the reality you live in, do you see unicorns and leprechauns?
