in economic positions like that. Republicans always fuck up the economy.

There isn't one Democrat of 330,000,000 people capable of handling that job?

We always seem to bow to the concept that Republicans are better for the economy and for Defense.

Just had to rant. I wouldn't trust a Republican with the economy one bit.
