And I can state for a fact that the left will blame those of us who were pointing out the failure all along FOR the failure.

I imagine ex-Governor McDonnell thinks that too.

“Some of my fellow Americans are finally waking up.”

Nothing but internationalists out there and their numbers are growing. (If you consider yourself an American, according to the Democrat Ministry of Propaganda, you are an ignorant, knuckle-dragging, moronic, gun-loving, bible-thumping Christian moron who has to be disarmed and castrated politically because you’re so dangerous to the Democrat revolution.)

Regarding being worse.

Worse is not homogeneous. There are parts of the country doing fairly well and parts that remain in trouble. The economic problems are not uniform across the country.

The polls in question assume America is economically uniform. That means the statistics generated in the poll are not all that meaningful. The variance can result from where the calls by the pollsters are made. A few more to the troubled area can produce a down turn but still not reflect the true feeling across the country.

The poll is garbage. The poll is an attempt to create numbers that can be transformed into meaningful news.

Very few, and quite small pockets of the country are doing OK, some even good. The Dakotas with the energy boom and DC with 40% of all the GDP to waste as they see fit.

Beyond that, even Texas is just OK, it is only in comparison to the rest of the country that it looks to be booming.

We have a serious problem in the economy, those who are not insulated by wealth, extremely specialized skills, or a government job know this. That is about 70% of the country, hence the poll.

If you cannot easily see that things are improving they are getting worse. Rust and decay can proceed unnoticed for a time before they become obvious.

The 1968 election gave us Richard Nixon, the 2016 fiasco is certain to give us something to make Nixon look like George Washington by comparison.

I like that...it’s the kind of statement which gives one much to chew on. Thank you. I want to remember it.
