Who controls all 3 branches of government?
They obviously have sent a message people are more wiling to hear? Bad ideas, empty promises, lies, & all.
How could you even suggest that they haven't beaten our side on messaging? Ideas bad for the country & its people in every thing they pitch, yet they won the WH 2 of the last 3 elections and control both houses of congress with a compliant Supreme Court.

The Failure should have been trounced all 3 times, yet here we are.
