The best evidence that the admin (and enemedia) numbers are BS is the election of Donald Trump.
Libs have to push the “Russian hacking” lie because history will always show the “Best President Ever” (Otoken) was followed by the “Worst Monster Ever” (Trump)...
My recollection of 2007 is basically this:
The economy was pretty strong. Most people had jobs. Even your lazy brother-in-law had a job.
THE MEDIA SAID: Worst economy since Hoover!!!!
Result: Voters were frightened by the awful economy and gave Pelosi control of the senate.
My recollection from 2012:
The economy was damn weak. Your brother-in-law was out of work. Your neighbor too. Even you might have been out of work.
THE MEDIA SAID: Great economy! Major recovery! Gotta love that Obama!
Result: Voters who couldn't pay their bills were glad to hear of the economic boom and voted Obama a second term.
My recollection from 2016:
The economy was damn weak. America was weak around the world. Democrats were engaging in multiple felonies.
THE MEDIA SAID: Trump is a crazy man. Jeb is a statesman. Hillary is as pure as the driven snow.
Result: Voters said -- "hey the media lies a lot" and voted for Trump.
