MSNBC’s Ruhle: Dems Struggled Because the Economy Is ‘Complicated’ and ‘Hard to Explain’
Breitbart ^ | 04/03/2025 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 04/03/2025 6:35:52 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “11th Hour,” host and NBC News Senior Business Analyst Stephanie Ruhle said that Democrats struggled to talk about the economy because “telling the truth about a complicated economy” is “Complicated and nuanced.” And “we don’t have one economy” in such a large country and it’s “hard to explain” all of that.

While discussing Democrats in the 2024 election, Ruhle stated, “They didn’t do a great job talking about the economy. You know why? Because telling the truth about a complicated economy, you know what it is? Complicated and nuanced. And in a country of 330 million people, we don’t have one economy, because, for many of us, we had a very strong economic recovery. But, in parts of the country, we absolutely didn’t. And, for decades, people are saying, this country doesn’t work for me, the government doesn’t work for me. And that’s hard to explain.”

So now we are saying, liberals don’t know how to explain these issues? What the heck?

No problem... Just lower the standard of what the economy should be so those who don’t understand it can easily...

They can’t explain because they’re crooked. I mean, how do you say, “We let all the jobs leave to countries who bribed us to allow it to happen, and we’ve gathered up all your taxes and funneled them into schemes to feather our own nests, so... yeah, it’s complicated.”

They just don't have the knowledge. They have brokers for their stock portfolios...and tariffs are not in their learning curve.

Most of them are attorneys...paper pushers...they know how to read...but math boggles their minds. My best friend is like that. She edits Law Books....but she's still not sure about 2 + 2.

This has the clarity of a Kamala explanation. The economy is big and you know large and there is money and goods and you know nuances and many economies so where do we start? Which economy?

How many democrat voters would understand an explanation of anything?

Would they even bother to listen?

I suppose if you can't figure out what a girl is, math with dollar signs would be really difficult.

Democrats struggle because they can't tell the truth about anything.

Of course not. Commies are taught that the pie is finite. If you tax the rich then the poor get more money. Simple, willful idiots.

If you can’t fairly & successfully replace an obviously unfit presidential candidate, how can you be expected to manage the US economy?
