The Spin


The Republican midterm convention showed a party fired up and united, packing an arena in Dallas while the press insisted nobody would show. Over $20 trillion in outside investment has poured in, the greatest two-year comeback any president has pulled off. Keep Congress red, let the job get finisheddone, and America leaves the rest of the world in the dust.

That rambling convention speech was a firehose of falsehoods that should have been an email. The $20 trillion investment figure is fiction, even the White House site says $11.2 trillion, and food prices are climbing, not falling. Claiming three presidential wins and every promise kept insults anyone who can read a fact check.
