He carried the upper Midwest with his promise - made again and again at every 2016 campaign rally - to invest $1 trillion in nee roads, bridges and airports.
But Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell wouldn’t go along. They prioritized corporate tax cuts, but no infrastructure.
Imagine if the GOP under Trump had had huge infrastructure projects going in Wisc, Mich and Pennsylvania - states Trump won in 2016 but lost this week
Instead, those states reverted to the way they voted when Ryan was running with Romney on the national GOP ticket. The GOP will never win them - and will never return to the White House - by pushing Ryanism over the kind of populism that won it for Trump in 2016.
President Fraud can go F himself
Many snakes in the GOP many
Won’t even read an article from the Washington Compost.
They didn’t “revert” anything of a kind
They were Fn stolen
The infrastructure projects should have happened.
But Trump didnt lose those states as the article claims.
Not only was the WP involved in the coup that robbed the President of his first two years and later the silly impeachment, they now want to distract readers away from the vote fraud by explaining the President wasn’t able to accomplish what he said. Depraved.
Ummmm.... no. The steal would be just bigger to overcome more Trump votes, if any. The electorate voted for Trump. Headed for a 300+ Electoral College win. THe 'Rats are stealing it. 700k ahead in PA, being whittled down to nothing and then Bitem wins. If instead in PA Trump was ahead double that - 1.4M votes, same thing. Double the votes, double the Steal.
The question I haven’t heard asked is why the Democrat desperation at the moment in time? With this election?
Falls short?
FU, WAPO — you scumbags had him under fraudulent Russia investigations and impeachment for the entirety of his term.
Infrastructure is roads, bridges, sewer lines, etc. Are they going to build sewers to empty factory buildings?
So why then did Trump increase his vote total by over 200,000 in this state if he supposedly did a lousy job on infrastructure there as this article claims?
This reminds me of Graig Nettles’ book BALLS in which he discussed instances in which sportswriters like Henry Hecht and others would go after Billy (or anyone else George Steinbrenner wanted ripped in the press) by saying they talked to players who supposedly were not happy about Billy or someone else. And everybody in the locker room knew that these writers were just making up stories like these about supposedly having talked to players.
“Trump’s 2016 campaign pledges on infrastructure have fallen short, creating opening for Biden”
More bull shit from the Washington Post, who conveniently forgot that Obama and Biden had plenty of money and time to come up with infrastructure and they squandered the money (probably some of it went to Iran 150B) and laughed about it,
The party about to lose the election by razor thin margins in the 11th hour in several states has asked for protection against vote fraud for decades.
The party about to win the election by razor thin margins in the 11th hour insisted vote fraud was rare, isolated and fought increased protections against fraud.
Whether or not the election is skewed by fraud, anyone unwilling to understand why the aggrieved party is skeptical and frustrated is acting in bad faith.

Winkler is an idiot. No wonder he is a life ling communist/Democrat.
If an infrastructure bill had been passed it may have helped, but I’m not convinced it would have prevented what happened last week.
It is a shame though that Ryan and McConnell pursued the doomed effort to repeal Obamacare and the tax cuts first.
The tax cuts were mostly good, as all tax payers got a cut, and the corporate rate got a needed reduction to be more competitive with rates in other western nations. In hindsight Trump should have insisted that the carried interest matter that Ryan and his cronies removed be included in the bill. Most of the guys benefiting from it are probably Democrats so screw em anyway. It would have helped deflect the “tax cuts for the rich” charge.
On Obamacare the GOP of course faced a biased press that lied about their replacement plan, but at the same time I think many Republicans were stuck in the midterm election mindset from the Obama years, where they gained lots of seats because of the unpopularity and negative effects of the aca. The simple fact is that by 2017 public opinion towards Obamacare had shifted due mostly to the pre-existing clauses that are overwhelmingly popular. Again, the Left lied about the GOP removing protections for pre-existing conditions but the GOP response was, as usual, weak and unfocused. And knowing how popular those provisions were any replacement plan should have been ironclad in protect them.
