Republicans candidates are trying to cast themselves as better for the economy because abortion is a radioactive issue for them. But there’s a problem—G.D.P., jobs and other indicators have ALL risen faster under Democrats for nearly the past century. #GOPLiars #GOPFrauds #VoteBlueIfYouWantToProsper

Politicians always use talk, may mention data but never show it.

But remember Reagan got elected and he actually showed a few graphs to make his point. It worked.
Dems should use these (or simplified versions thereof) to make their points. Graphs present more authority than politicians' words.

Or so I think.
