2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The President has a natural disadvantage in the upcoming debates. [View all]Raven
(14,275 posts)5. I think you are dead wrong. The President will win on
substance. The economy...recovering no thanks to the Republicans. Foreign policy...what experience does Romney have in that area? None. Jobs? Well, the President has created them, Romney/Bain cut and/or outsourced them. Broken promises? Where are your taxes, Governor?

With only 50 posts, so far filled with Fox talking points (Obama's "failures"), it walks like a duck
