"Obama just keeps failing to fail"

In his New York Times column on Aug. 11, Paul Krugman explained why Republican candidates are having trouble backing up their criticisms of Barack Obama.   So they resort to shouting dog-whistle words (Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, amnesty) or they try rewriting history to blame him for the Iraq war.

But Krugman nails it: 

Out there in the real world, none of the disasters their party predicted have actually come to pass. 

President Obama just keeps failing to fail. And that’s a big problem for the G.O.P. — even bigger than Donald Trump.
