Awesome "accomplishments"!!! :rolleyes: The one on debt really isn't fair because a new record for national debt has been set every year since the Bill Clinton administration but got to SMDH on all the others. It's been a hell of a month! o_O

I think it is fair as an update to his promise that he'd eliminate it entirely within 8 years, guess he's just a procrastinator ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just think it was weak because that record is broken almost every day but he's not going to get 8 years to decrease it. I hope! :eek:
 
K18, our News Talk group could use a researcher such as yourself.

What are you doing next Wednesday morning? You will have to bring up some stuff on the Dems however. Just like Fox News, we want balanced reporting o_O.
