Trump must stay on message to win in November - Washington Times

Are you better off than you were four years ago? - Scott Walker 
For Donald Trump to win in November, he needs to remind voters that their lives were better when he was president and that they will be better again if he is reelected. 
  • Americans are not better off today than they were when Mr. Trump was in office. “ABC Nightly News” anchor David Muir began the debate this week with a lengthy statement for Vice President Kamala Harris that ended with the question, “When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago? She ignored the question and responded with the glib answer, “So, I was raised as a middle-class kid.” That’s because she has no real answer.
  • Four years of the Biden-Harris economy have been rough on many Americans, particularly the middle class. Prices have increased about 20%, while housing costs in my home state alone have increased nearly 30%. Filling the gas tank of my Chevrolet Traverse at the Kwik Trip in Delafield, Wisconsin, costs about $1.25 more per gallon than four years ago. 
  • Ms. Harris proposes cost controls by the federal government. Anyone who prefers that approach must also select the efficiency of the U.S. Postal Service over United Parcel Service or FedEx.
