Jacob Bogage

The main promise he made was to lower consumer costs on day one.

And now he's really painted himself into a corner because there actually isn't very much the president can do to lower consumer costs by himself.

They feel the economy legitimately is on pretty steady footing, that consumers have the resources to keep up with prices, that their wages are rising to keep up with prices, and that they are all in all on pretty good footing, and yet they're not getting credit for it.

The frustrating thing for the president and for the Republican Party, and I don't know how they wiggle their way out of this, is they ran for office by promising these instant economic results and conditioning voters to believe that they were achievable.

Now that they can't achieve them because they promised some impossible results, how do you put the genie back in the bottle there?

You can't do it.
