So it seems. It is looking more and more that they are a single issue

under DEMOCRATIC administrations. Weird, huh?

I don't see how that can be useful. Kennedy was the kind of fiscal
Democrat Republicans love to quote about tax cuts. Clinton was much
more of a Centrist, taking credit for the things he liked from his
Republican Congresses. Etc.

And then there's the claim that stock market results lag behind what
presidents do, enabling each party to claim credit or pass blame for
what happens on a president's watch, depending on whether or not the
argument suits them.
