True, good call.This is really a both party thing since Reagan. With the exception of the Clinton admin with a republican congress.
I bit off on the current republican screaming about the national debt and how we have to cut down spending.

The Republican Party as it was known has been destroyed. Any good policies they had have been destroyed.I will give him this. The argument started from the GOP has been killed by Trump et al. He stated not yet and then listed off the representation they maintain at state and federal level. Proof they aren't dead YET. Along with that, he stated that polls show Republicans are more trusted with economy - expected to be a big driver in the election cycle - to further show not dead yet.
That being said, I agree poll results saying people feel one way or another desn't equate to how performance has traditionally worked out. GOP at this point shpuld be expected to cut taxes on wealthy, and they try to offset those losses by cutting support programs for the poor. Democrats will raise taxes on wealthy, cut them on poor, and increase gov spending (partially as aid for poor) to drive economic growth.
The republican party as it was known 10 years ago is destroyed. The republican party as it existed 2 years ago remains. Im hoping the party as it is now dies very soon, but it remains in control of much too much of the country to be called dead right now. It's just not what it used to be and not what anyone over 30 thinks of when they think of the party.The Republican Party as it was known has been destroyed.

The Republican Party is now owned by Trump….both literally and figuratively.The republican party as it was known 10 years ago is destroyed. The republican party as it existed 2 years ago remains.

Two independent polls by NBC News and by Gallup, that both show statistically significant advantages for the GOP, are not a quantifiable observation of how voters view who they trust more with the economy???That’s not a quantifiable observation of the economy. That’s someone’s pull it out of your butt opinion.
KING: Is Marjorie Taylor Greene honest in earnest?
MOLINARO: Her theater and this constant effort to hold the Congress hostage has to come to an end. I’m gonna have no part in it. And a good number of my colleagues – conservative and moderate – believe that enough is enough. It is time to move on and to move past this kind of nonsense.
Maybe your intent in your original post was to only claim that polls favor Rs in handling the economy but I read it as your belief that Rs are stronger in the actual handling of the economy.Two independent polls by NBC News and by Gallup, that both show statistically significant advantages for the GOP, are not a quantifiable observation of how voters view who they trust more with the economy???
The point was about the Republican Party being destroyed. If you want to make a point that Trump is causing harm to GOP, you have no argument from me. But they are in pretty good shape.
The top two issues for voters are immigration and the economy. And according to Vox, those two issues are growing in importance with voters. YOU may not agree, but American voters currently side strongly with the GOP on those two issues. If that continues, and that is a big if, then the GOP may have an enjoyable November.
If they are a destroyed party, they are in pretty good shape with leadership seats and voter sentiment towards parties.
* They control 23 states verses 16 for Dem. (For comparison, in Obama’s 1st year they only controlled 9)
* They have the most Governors (For comparison, in Obama’s first year they only had 22)
* GOP is attracting more voters: Dems enjoyed a 5%advantage of partisan identification 5 years ago..now it is 49% Dems to 48% GOP (pew research from last week).
