I think we can work on the inaccurate perception that Republicans are good for the economy. The numbers are there, we just need to sell ourselves better. I know Bill Clinton tried in his DNC speech last year, but in the middle of high inflation that was a hard sell. But I bet it's easier when Trump's policies are doing their damage.
