How about we stick to the corrupt Bank of Boeing and foreign entities bribing us with our own money for short term gain and long term pain?

Let's start with all of the help the previous admin gave us WRT this issue.

Yet we can't even be bothered to send someone on a quick day trip to make an appearance?

This one is on us then.

Yeah that sleepy little depression era program designed to give mom and pop businesses the chance to trade on the big stage has morphed into massive corporate welfare for mostly one company. They get around what, 70% of loan and 40% of business activities? Which is really just taxpayer funded below market rate nonsense to filthy rich foreign entities.

They're bribing us with our own money today in an attempt to gut our markets tomorrow as they try to "merchant marine" our lucrative aviation infrastructure.

First of all, that’s a non-sequitur out of bounds, and second, the fact of this is that results matter, and we didn’t have someone that was going to listen to us.

Play your fox and friends cheerleader party all day long in your house, but in the real world here, it was nothing but a small side show with no results.

Not even a mid level representative from what I have heard. It's called optics, and you can say it wouldn't have mattered, but the fact is that it does. Those kinds of things get remembered.... and will be remembered when it might matter. If my CEO doesn't care enough to show up at the POTUS's office, I certainly don't care enough to write to Little Marco.

You could always just cheat and let the pros do it for you.

And because someone is naturally gonna compare against the supposed kenyan president I'll save you the work

So how does it calculate a kept promise that was accomplished using broken promises?

Is there some kind of NPS?

I don't understand, if he broke a promise to keep a promise that's one and one. One for broken and one for kept, unless youre somehow trying to beat around the bush on compromise.

One of the problems with analysis, in the honest sense, is it doesnt pick sides (not procluding an error). If anyone has become accustomed or addicted to an echo chamber seek "clarifying" opinions at msnbc/cnn/fox.
