The border deal was a hail mary 3 years into a presidency. They should have done something about the border years earlier when voters started to complain about it if they wanted to.

It doesn't matter what some economist says the economy is doing. Most people are be unhappy with the economy. That's what matters. Democrats listened to economists instead of voters.

Of course Trump's votes don't understand economics. Why do you think overwhelmingly we see educated people now vote Democrats and non educated people vote for Trump?

Trust us some economist says we're doing a good job was a crappy message. This was an own goal.




Point still stands on the border deal. They wanted something, but through Trump, it was derailed - for no other reason that it was detrimental to his campaign.

Reagan had a plaque at the oval office that said: "There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit"


And Truman had a plaque that said "The buck stops here". I don't buy these lame excuses.

Biden should have used executive orders to deal with the border. Just like Trump did. Biden didn't because he didn't care that voters were extremely upset about the border. Now we get to "enjoy" Trump again.
