    Unfortunately, the performance stats of presidential performance over the years, overall, do not support your position. Moreover, since the turn of the century 66% of CA governorships have been republican. Additionally, to say 'CA leads in poverty' is a glass half empty, the counter is that CA is in the top 25% in terms of per capita wealth. I'm a glass is half full guy, apparently you are not, when it comes to dems, but you are, when it comes to republicans. Tsk tsk,

    You made a statement, it is false. Republican administrations have committed far more crimes than democratic administrations, far more indictments and convictions under Nixon, Reagan, and now Trump.

    There is no rebuttal to that fact, it is a fact, your 'feelings' are not facts.

    Im not the one boasting success of a political party. Republicans are no better. Now you are making my point for me by noticing the gap between the rich and the poor. Thats progress!

    A humorous post for sure - and some interesting stats - but one that does not tell the whole story.

    For example Trump had over 80 Criminal Indictments - Obama had none - but the Obama admin was far more criminal in many respects - which is not reflected in the table .

    the gap between the rich and poor, in my view, is due to advent and spread of neoliberalism, which has pervaded conservatives and it did, Clinton, as well, but neoliberalism accelerated under Reagan.

    Yet CA is going the opposite direction and the gap is huge with few left in the middle.

    It's that way everywhere, and it's due to neoliberalism. Naturally, it's going to be wider where there is wealth and lots of people.
    All you are doing is looking for any little morsel you can pick up on, to rag on democrats.

    Well, the national states prove it's republicans whose performance stats are categorically worse, OVERALL.

    In the Gangster's Paradise that is Washington DC, and in every capitol city in these United States, criminal behavior by politicians and bureaucrats is a bipartisan phenomenon. Party affiliation in this idiotic duopoly makes no difference on criminal behavior.

    Acknowledging facts is not ragging. Its about issues for me, not party. My main issue is limiting government interference in our lives. Democrats were successful in getting the government out of the way when it comes to who people marry and what plant they want to smoke.

    Life under Dem control is worse based on actual results.

    No, I have more if you are trying to portray your party as "holier than thou" when it comes to crime and morals. I wouldn't defend either party on this issue.

    Sure, if you have no possibility of refuting facts, you could say that.
