"Vote Dem; we're always lucky" Ask the 200,000 Syrians murdered how lucky they were to have a spineless democrat as POTUS. Ask the parents of Ty Woods, Sean Smith and Glen Doherty how lucky the were to have a spineless democrat as POTUS and Sec O State. Ask the family of Brian Terry how lucky they feel have a spineless dem POTUS who sold the weapons that got their Son killed. Ask the Dad who had his 6 children slaughtered in San Bernardino by terrorists the spineless dem POTUS let in the country how lucky he feels. Farook was a spineless dem environmental whack job like you rat. Lucky? ... geez you and your spineless climate dem pols are pathetic.

They are all over the map in terms of what they did when they got there, with Democrats like Kennedy cutting taxes, while Republicans like Bush raised them (guess who had more economic growth), and Republicans like Nixon imposing price controls, while Carter (a democrat) started deregulation that was continued and expanded by Reagan (a Republican). There isn't much of a common consistent them with either party. One of the closer things to being one was that earlier Democrats supported loose money and monetary stimulus at every sign or recession, eventually leading to inflation that caused a severe recession right at the beginning of Reagan's term. Once that inflation was broken, and with lower taxes and deregulation economic growth was unusually strong. FDR was lucky to have Hoover; Clinton was lucky to be surrounded by Bushes. No its not a matter of people so much as time. Switch Clinton's presidency with either Bush, or FDR's with Hoover, and its unlikely that thing would be very different except for the fact that the Republicans would have had the luckier timing and the Democrats the unlucky. With a large samples size such timing issues wouldn't matter so much. But we don't have a large sample size. And since the policies aren't consistent we never will, even if Republicans and Democrats are the dominant two parties for 10,000 years.
