Yup. If you look at the last two elections the actual results under-represents Democratic voters by 1-3%.

LOL that's funny... Reagan's first 4 years were considered average, he only received 53% of the vote during reelection. It was only during his 2nd term that approval went up.

This is a blatant lie, but not surprising from a Fox News right-wing talking point. Receipt in 1981 was $599 billion. After Reagan cut income taxes in 1982 and 1987-88, it only went up to $991 after 8 years, much of it due to the expansion of the economy - that's not DOUBLED LOL. In contrast Clinton raised taxes, and federal receipts went from $1154b to $2025b. Funny how that works huh? All the REAL data can be found on the Tax Policy Center website.
Reagan also increased our debt 150% (the first of many Republican debt increases) by cutting taxes. You're gonna praise that?

Are you serious? Look up the economic history of the free world since World War 2...

Yeah, all those people in modern 'socialist' Europe had it forced on them by the barrel of a gun...
You're not scoring any points with your sensationalistic and non-factual examples.
