"With Trump getting so much attention, the Democratic record has been obscured.
Consider this -- about two million more citizens live in poverty since President Obama took office.
Poverty among women has increased by one million.
Among blacks, the poverty rate is up nearly one-and-a-half percent since the president was first elected.
Median income for all Americans has dropped an average of $2,000 since 2009.
That is an economic disaster. Yet few Americans really know the stats."

Mr. O’Reilly, I am a bit confused and perhaps you can help me. Was Trump running for President in January, February, March or April? During those months were not these failures of the Obama administration that you point to front and center and in full view? I believe they were and Trump was not running nor had he really hinted at it so as to be taken remotely seriously. Fair to say, he was not sucking the Oxygen out of the room.
But it was the worst kept secret that people in the GOP like Christie, like Paul, like Jeb!, like Rubio, were going to run. The GOP controlled both houses of congress. Where were these soon to be candidates and Boehner and McConnell pointing out Obama’s failures and aggressively seeking to prevent more? For that matter, where was Mr. Romney in the last election (as another poster just pointed out)?
These people were being intimidated by the MSM and political correctness into being good little lap dogs, too afraid to say what was truly necessary. As for the “leaders” in congress they were too afraid to exercise their given powers under the Constitution. The last election!?!? It would make a great Servpro commercial, it was like it never happened.
Trump is not my candidate, not by a long shot. His prior positions are troubling to me. But this guy serves a purpose and I hope he sticks around. He is plowing the political field and planting it anew. And what a field it was. One which made it impossible, almost de facto illegal, for any who dare oppose the leftward march to say or do anything against leftist dogma lest a mob of hate filled thugs show up at their door, terrorize them on the internet, ostracize them, jail them for “hate crimes”, take away their property, probe them with the IRS, etc. etc.
The question to me is this. Once you elites in the media and inside the GOPe get your wish and the voters (and it will be the voters) fade Trump away, will whoever is left play in the newly plowed field or go back to being an apologist, democrat-lite coward (otherwise known as Jeb Bush)? Speaking for myself, I will not support another candidate from the surrender wing of the GOP.
I don’t get how Trump talking about what terrible shape our country is in is helping demoncrats.
Meet my political adviser.
HTH(eck) did he ever get a TV show???
Trump’s job right now is to position himself to win the primaries and caucuses. It is not to frame Obama for what he is. We all know what he is.
When Trump has won the nomination, it becomes time to address what the Democrat party has done to the nation.
O’Reilly can’t grasp this?
This commentary by O’Reilly points to one thing, and it’s not Trump’s running interference for the Democrats.
It’s O’Reilly’s need to consider retiring.
Only one guy was running interference for the Democrats in relation to the matters O’Reilly touched on. It was O’Reilly and not Trump. This very commentary, was running interference for the Democrats, because it sought to belittle the best chance we have for confronting the Democrats. Didn’t know that Mr. O’Reilly? Duh!
He’s in it just for himself? Seriously? Trump is too successful as a candidate?
Blaming Trump for people not knowing about the dangers of Obama and the Democrats is just nutty.
As for facts and figures, only 2.5 million illegals have come across the border in 6.5 years? What has this guy been smoking that he would buy into that tripe?
Poverty for Blacks has increased only 1.5% under Obama? You take a look at their unemployment numbers as compared to when Obama came to office, and tell me that figure is accurate.
And Trump’s the problem?
What a terrible disservice to his listeners...
^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^ ! These Quislings have to go or we never will fix any of the problems.
Exactly!
Trump does not have any political power to affect change.
Bonehead, McConnell and the GOP elected officials do.
O’Reilly is not just carrying water for the GOP elite.. he’s now TRUCKING it.
Bingo!
O’Reilly wants to be a news maker than a news reporter!!!!
O’Reilly is going off the deep end. Like Megyn he wants to take Trump down. They can’t help themselves.
Perhaps Bill should spend his hour on TV exposing the democrats rather than attacking republicans.
Well said...and thought.
Yet few Americans really know the stats."And yet you and FAUX News claim to be the most watched cable show...BUT people aren't informed of the stats because Trump is the one not informing them?
Sure, Leprechaun, whatever.
Trump will deal with the RATS after he has won the nomination.
RAT’s record of evil will still be there.
Pretty close to being right.
Exactly! These are the same things I was screaming at my Tee Vee last night. Trump has to defeat the other 16 before he can defeat Hilary.
Good for you. I’ll bet you weren’t the only one doing it either.
I thought everything BOR said was correct. But he never tied it back to why Trump was hurting the party. In fact, I would say that Trump is the only one that has a chance to fix any of the issues that BOR commented on. So I guess the question is, what was the point of all of that?
“NO ONE, and I mean, NO ONE helps the Democrat Party more than Boehner, McConnell and the GOP Establishment.”
Worth Repeating.
Even Democrats in the Democrat Party manage to get in their own way and stumble every once in awhile. The GOPe does nothing but smooth the way for them.
