Trump's most troubling number

Not only is the pay bad, but the uniforms suck, too
A new poll from Franklin & Marshall has some numbers that will be overlooked...but should put fear in the hearts of the republican party.  A full 70% of Pennsylvanians, despite the supposedly fantastic Trump economy, said their economic well being was either the same (50%) or worse (20%) since Trump won the 2016 election.  When 70% of the people in a battleground state are not better off financially three years into a President's term--and with little hope of the economy getting better than it is--it's not exactly a ringing endorsement of the party in power.

What we're seeing is what we usually see when a republican administration has a good economy:  the rich getting richer and the rest of us still struggling to get by.

And this is why the candidacies of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are still going strong--they're putting forth ideas and policies that help the American economy work for all of us, and not just the wealthy elite.

Fuck Donald Trump,
