If people voted their pocketbook, Republicans would never get elected.
The last Republican president to leave the nation in better economic shape than he found it was Eisenhower.
Look it up. Eisenhower.
With his push for highways infrastructure and warnings about the military-industrial complex, I'm not even sure he'd actually be classified as Republican any more.
Eisenhower was courted by the Democrats to be their candidate in 1948, but he wasn't interested in being a politician at that time. And when he came into office in 1953 as a republican and that party had won both houses of congress, they smugly assumed that their conspiracy to completely destroy Social Security, would be a slam-dunk.
But Eisenhower would not allow it and vetoed their legislation, much to their shock and dismay. He recognized the important role Social Security played in the lives of many people and the necessary good of it, for the whole country. How badly diverted from his example, is that party today.
The Hill has presented some educated predictions about how much further Trump has to fall, in the coming year. They think he will be charged for treasonous activities with the Russians and that his republican poodles in congress will be devastated by the unprecedented democratic turnout at the polls in November.
As I type this, I'm listening to Trump's inaugural address, where he gravely insulted the condition of our country and claimed he would fix everything. But we are now in so much more turmoil and are unable to even sustain our federal budget, due to the rancor he has instilled. The article in the link, offers a bit of hope that this is all soon coming to an end. The author of this article is John LeBoutillier, a former republican congressman from New York.
The Hill hasn't "presented" anything, much less anything "educated." You must have missed their disclaimer--LeBoutillier has written an opinion in their publication. Period.
BTW, he didn't last more than 2 years as congressman in NY--from 1980-82. He got trounced. So let's chuck the "Republican congressman" creds. He doesn't have any.
What he DOES have is a big piehole, which he's been using for years, especially since Trump's election. He was part of a big, whining panel of never-Trumpers crying horseball tears on election night, too
GOP got tax cuts for their corporate benefactors, their Cabinet picks confirmed and busy de-regulating and plundering the nation as fast as they can, and their court appointments including their corporate shill on the Supreme Court.
Not too shabby.
These actions are good indicators of how tightly packed Trump is with the Republican establishment. This is not an administration for the working people.

I should say not.
McDonnell put the kibosh on paying soldiers during the shutdown.

Must be a great year coming up as Anti Trumpers have predicted everything wrong.
Schumer shut down and no pay for military to get illegals everything is what's going to hurt Democrats! Americans don't care too much about immigration if that hurts their pockets!
Remember President Hilliary Clinton....oh sorry, never happened!
President Trump MAGA!
