Oh but wait! Trump was responsible for the bull market leading to low unemployment.... that started like ten years ago... but he has nothing to do with current unemployment... that started less than a year ago... and the federal government continues to be clueless about what to to do...
I read this morning that the $300 payment fund will be depleted this week. Somebody needs to address this quickly, or there will be millions of really unhappy homeless voters in a couple of months.

Haven’t you heard? Trump said they don’t have to pay their rent till the end of the year! Good luck collecting though... but by the time the building owners are foreclosed on the election be over.

...And I might add, it's still improving in spite of the insanity the regressives are dishing out. Can you imagine the progress that would be made if the regressives put forth effort in favor of the working citizens?

And there was a federal response — Trump quickly closed down flights to and from China which Biden called RACIST !! And Dems called xenophobic and an overreaction.....
Trump got ventilators to every hospital that needed them — theres now an excess, he got military ship hospitals to NYC and LA, he had huge hospital tent cities set up that N.Y. didn’t even use.....

Worth repeating. Trump is pro-America. Biden is, well, how would I know as I bet he doesn't even know!

The unemployment rate continues to drop despite predictions that it would not. Interestingly, the more Dems in a state the worse for unemployment (probably the continued suppression of freedom) and oddly the worse the "virus" is for the Dem states. I would think for those reasons allow, Trump would be the right choice.

What I find amazing is that in the midst of nationwide riots and BLM terrorism, bribes to keep people from going back to their jobs, and a virus that doesn’t yet have a vaccine, we are down as far as 8.4%.
Where we are, most workers are considered "essential" to the annoyance of the Public Health worker (Democrat county - boo). She has had an issue with the meat industry/dog food industry here through the entire "pandemic", yet they remained open. She has fought any reopening, and is just a nightmare, a little UnConsitutional Kelly want to be. (The sorry Governor of KS, a Dem.)

Good post, but I would add "that the Americans do not want done to them."

3.8% unemployment in February 2020: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...eat-recession/ Obama tried to break the economy, but did not succeed, why would anyone give the Democrats the opportunity to break it now. It is already in recovery mode, so why ruin a good thing.

Trump doing everything he can to open the country up for safe business — democrats want to keep everything closed down so it will look bad for Trump — Dems clearly care more about votes than the American people ....
Yes, they are fighting it hard. The Governor of Kansas, UnConstitutional Kelly keeps threatening to shutdown our freedoms tight again for no apparent reason as her flunky, the head of the Dept of Health & Environment has been caught "distorting the truth" concerning the numbers and the effectiveness of masks. Every time things start to look up, they make try to distort the facts.

Actually, that isn't the way it would work. Trump and the federal government have limits. Also, why should a county in the middle of nowhere be under the same restrictions as homeless people who are crammed into nursing homes when they got COVID 19 by Democratic "leaders"? It is not a one size fit all. And, if the CDC and Fauci would not have lied to the people, the shutdown would probably not have taken place for more than the two weeks that they originally promised 6 months ago.

Yes, but I do believe that many of the Dems do not realize what they are buying, but hear that the federal government would give them money for not working, forgive their debts, pay their healthcare costs, and put them in a nice place to live. Obviously, they lack math skills and think that money grows on trees.

Maybe take it up with the Governors in these states run by the Dems. They seem to be the hardest hit, since other states are going back to work, while they are still locked down.

Geesh! Just look at how the Dems have screwed up their cities and states, and ask yourself if that is what you want for the country, and if so, vote Biden/Harris. It really is that simple.

Considering all the events over the last few months, I agree that most, probably like 98% know exactly who they will vote for, and if they will vote at all.

Obama didn’t try to “break” the economy. You’re lying due to your bias.

The Federal government has a responsibly to provide leadership during moments of national crisis. The trump administration failed. The states did their own things.

Fauci lie? We talking about The initial mask issue? Guess you missed the senate testimonies. It was trump appointees behind that.

Trump isn’t pro-America. He’s pro-Trump. He doesn’t give a **** about you or the country.

For me it was the one where he proudly displayed his denial of science and insisted that saving the coal industry is better than confronting the challenge of climate change our carbon usage is having.

I was already locked in for Biden but that was a useful reminder of just how fact free this president is.
