We lost control of the narrative.
Let me be the first to say that not everything is sunshine and roses in America but we are in an infinitely better spot than when President Obama took office. The official unemployment is 4.6% If real unemployment is higher than what is published than it was higher than what was published under President Obama's Republican predecessors. The GDP is growing at a 3.2 clip. Real incomes are starting to rise. Poverty is starting to fall. Crime is at relatively low levels.
Out of all the mature large industrialized democracies we are in the best economic shape.
Things are much better now than when Reagan ran his 49 state winning "Morning In America" campaign.
Everything is relative. You need to compare things to like things. I am befuddled that Trump got to portray America as being in the shitter and that only he can fix it.
