They are and the data proves it. I think it's because Republicans like to take shortcuts, like loading your entree with just desserts. It looks great short term but then comes a crash.
I'm no Financial expert though so I could be very well wrong. I'm very certain on the data though. It's crazy how many people think Republicans have done better with the economy. Maybe it's because Republicans = business?

Donald Trump was a Democrat before shifting over to Republican. From what I’ve seen his entire political career has just been finding a niche that he can play into.

He once WAS a democrat. Dems didn’t want him, then he was the one behind and pushing the Obama birther stuff, so he ran under the Republican ticket. Not to win- but as an ad campaign.

He also said something along the lines of "if I ever get into politics, I'll do it as a Republican. They're easier to fool."

He also said back then, that if he was gonna run for office, he would run as a Republican because Republicans would believe whatever he told them
