House Republicans who claim to be concerned about the deficit are being dishonest.

They’re voting for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts & $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, thereby increasing the deficit.

They’re slashing healthcare & education to give more tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... McConnell can partially atone for the sin of helping return a pro-Putin, NATO-averse president to office by — for once — standing up to Trump. No longer in a leadership position he can show that his paeans to Senate’s institutional power are more than words.

The country’s awash in hundreds, if not thousands, of election analyses.   

Be careful which you cling to. Many of the tools being employed are laden with problems and pitfalls & much of the data is subject to multiple interpretations
