    Apparently, the economy is a disaster people haven't gotten their talking points for how to deal with this very troubling news.

    I'm going to go with 'the books are cooked to help Harris win' as the most common response.

    Yup. America's a disaster. Things are terrible all over.

    I don't know how I drag myself out of bed everyday to partake of working a steady job, having transportation, food to eat and clothes to wear, in a home with indoor plumbing, electric and a/c.
    Oh, the horror of it all.

    But seriously - thank you, Joe Biden for implementing a steady progressive fiscal policy. I appreciate it, even if DonOld doesn't.

    Solid GDP growth, 2.4 million jobs added in the last year, S&P 500 up a massive 40% in the last year, all while inflation has steadily dropped. Yeah, this economy really sucks.

    Too bad he is not on the ballot. The Dem leaders didn't want him.

    The right whines and cries that Biden is not fit to run for re-election, no matter how good a job he's done.

    Then, after the Dems persuade Biden to step aside and not run for re-election, the right whines and cries about the Dems taking action and uniting behind Harris.

    Would you have voted for him if he was on the ballot?

    So Kamala gets all the blame for what ever pubs don't like about the Biden administration, but none of the credit for the good stuff.

    Got it.

    I agreed with Biden's decision to step aside, even though he had done a very good job. It's clear it's time for him to move on.

    That said, on Biden's worst day, he's better than Trump on his best day.

    Against Donald Trump? Absolutely. Against almost anyone else probably not.

    I agree with you, but my question was directed towards Oklahoma.

    Somehow, I feel like this thread was posted to help Kamala.

    LMFAO! Oops. :eek::D;)

    Based on ratings, still looking for how to spin 2.8% Real GDP growth with 1.8% annualized inflation as bad news, I guess. Or just very much hoping that nobody notices.

    But Publix is price gouging 12-packs of soda so the economy must be terrible.

    @rtgator, I may have been ambiguous in my sarcasm. Harris was not given any authority on border security and is not responsible for illegal border crossings. The ads that accuse her of such are misleading.

    She did succeed in her role in reducing migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras through diplomacy and policy initiatives and can get due credit.
