Dontcha know the condition of the economy is because of the mess the previous administration left?
Dontcha know that the Democrat party is made up of brilliant, really really smart, intelligent, intellectual, superior humans who know what’s best for all the livestock in flyover country?
Hmmmm? Dontcha know?
/sarcasm/
IMHO
Envelope No. 1: Blame it (no matter what "it" is) on the prior administration. Score double points if that was Shrub.
Envelope No. 2: Appoint a commission to study issues. For example, there is an on-going study, now several decades old, looking into hyper-long term joblessness in OH. So far, after those decades dithering, "training" has been concluded as the key as elections have shown. Re-organize to bring focus and clarity.
Envelope No. 3: Seek re-election early and often. The need to "double down" is self-evident to all and the way of the truth and the light. Or, so we are told.
