Busted.

From the very first line of that WaPo article which you and the OP didn't even bother to read.
"American life expectancy at birth declined for the second consecutive year in 2016
You don't have an argument. You are simply here to bash Trump and this doesn't have anything to do with him.


This is about Obama & his failed policies much to the dismay of the OP and now you.

I suffered no such disillusionment. I voted for him but never believed anything but that when someone gets one of the two major parties' nominations they're anything but a glad-handing, back-slapping, back-room-deal-making, empty promise them anything politician.

I dislike Hillary, didn't vote for her, but have believed Trump nothing but a loud mouthed, lying huckster of a con-man for 35+ years and that has nothing to do with politics, I have no respect for him as a man.

I quoted the OP's first line, NOT the first line of a linked story.

BUSTED?

BS!

That's fine but then you have no standing to condemn Trump for being the same.

I can't blame you there but the solution was an easy one.

Clearly this is about the falling lifespans of Americans in 2015 & 2016.

It's quite damning of Obama's policies and Obamacare.

You're the one making up nonsense.
Want to really make democrats look bad Waldo. Hold my beer.

If opiods are of such a grave concern to democrats... why then was my former state of NY neutering police? Neutering police by not allowing them to make an arrest at the scene of an overdose... Neutering police by having them administer Narcan etc....
NY and MA both actually...

It seems to me NY and MA wanted to perpetuate the problem to enable rampant drug use by not allowing police to make arrests at the scene of an overdose. But of course we must remove the stigma with overdose... it feels good. Costs tax payers. But damn it feels good.

I don't think he's the same, I think he's far worse.

And WHAT solution is that when the major nominees, realistically the only ones with a chance, both suck?

Oh? WHY is it today's Republican DoJ is neutering the DEA's ability to go after purveyors of opioids like McKesson?

i.e. Democrat Plantation.

They are hell on people's lives.

Obama's policies and were a disaster on the average American. Falling lifespans during the last two years of his goverment and his mandated Obamacare, are another example of it.
