Eric Hovde running for Senate in WI doesn't think nursing home folks should be able to vote.

No one claims that.

Biden took over in 2021, at the height of the Delta outbreak, and the inflation spike followed once the economy -- and the additional stimulus -- kicked in in 2022. Things have improved markedly since then.

Trump managed a smooth, well running economy. Biden inherited a public health disaster and between the Dem fiscal policy and Powell's monetary actions we've been able to keep the economy running and employment at record highs.

Are things running as smoothly as they did in 2019? No, they aren't. You don't go through what we did in 2020 and 21 and expect things to be all hunky dory immediately thereafter. We're still dealing the fallout from the housing bubble and economic collapse of 2008-10.

Wrong on so many counts. It kicked in 2021 shortly after the insane unnecessary stimulus from Biden and had carried on through 2023. Transitory he said. 2021 was the largest housing jump on record. We aren’t dealing with anything from 08. To obama’s credit. Housing etc exploded in cost in part because of insane dem lockdowns giving rise to transitory remote work etc.

Things are improving after Biden could no longer give shit away thanks to manchin and later the house. He’s still trying with student loans.

This isn’t a pandemic issue. It’s a far left president co-opted by progressives issue. Amazing how some of you contort for a guy with the worst approval in modern presidencies

You can still be a Dem and recognize this is a god awful administration.

That's not at all what he said. He's talking about 2020 and all the nursing homes that had 100% turnout or close to it. Many if those people are vegetables and aren't capable of voting. That's not possible and everyone knows it. Hence why Dems are terrified of a signature check. Never said they shouldn't be allowed to vote.

I hadn't been involved in this thread previously, until I saw the piece on horrible GOP Senate candidates...

Turns out there is quite a bit more to the Hovde/Nursing home saga. He lives in Orange Co CA,and despite running for Senate in WI is a well known figure in the Laguna Beach business community.

However he also just happens to own a nursing home in CA, and coincidentally enough that nursing home just happens to be embroiled in a law suit surrounding charges of elder abuse...

He also owns Sunwest Bank in Utah, which begs the question why isn't he running for a Senate seat in UT? At least there's a connection...

Assisted living home lawsuit, citations add to controversy over Hovde’s nursing home remarks • Wisconsin Examiner

Democrats link an assisted living home's record to Hovde's comments questioning votes by nursing home residents.

And on top of that his mastery of the Pledge of Allegiance ranks right up their with Trump's singing of the Star Spangled Banner...
