Memo to Conservatives: Republicans Aren’t Your Friends
http://www.americanthinker.com/2014/02/memo_to_conservatives_republicans_arent_your_friends.html
and…
At the end of 2009, the total federal debt was $12.3 trillion—a staggering amount of money. Now, it stands at an astonishing $23.1 trillion.
That’s roughly $180,500 of debt for every U.S. household.
https://twitter.com/Heritage/status/1224428600872636418
… &
“Consumers will largely bear the brunt of the country’s financial ruin… While the United States’ official debt is $2[3] trillion [the article was published in 2018], the fiscal gap is really 10 times larger — $2[30] trillion. That comes from adding in off-the-book liabilities, including debt that’s in the Federal Reserve’s hands… It’s not like the rest of the fiscal operation can bail out Social Security… So when you look at these numbers, you realize we’re Argentina in 1910… In one century, Argentina went from super rich to super poor… ”

“Republicans have lost four of the last six presidential elections; if one measures the popular vote, they have lost five of the last six. Indeed, over the last six elections, the GOP has averaged approximately 44.8 percent of the popular vote, whereas the Democrats have won 48.8 percent. And the disparity in the electoral college is even more telling: Republicans have won an average of 211 electoral votes over the last six elections, while Democrats have won 327.”

They will not use their opportunity to govern as an opportunity to draw contrast between conservatism and leftism.
