To be fair, Republicans might reach 60 seats in the Senate anyways.
Do please note that they lost serious ground in both Houses, while their Presidential nominee was three million votes behind The Woman You Love To Hate.
Seroius ground? They lost a few seats and gained them back and then some two years later. If we take one step back every general election and three steps forward every midterm, we’re winning.
I’m not even going to try to figure out which cherry you’re trying to pick this time.
Hillary won the race that none of the Presidential candidates participated in. Hooray.

You were the one who said, “How can you think that’s healthy?” Why isn’t it “healthy”? Isn’t that what is happening every day on Twitter/Facebook/internet ? It certainly seems normal in this day an age.
Trump was certainly “healthy” enough to out think, and beat, Hillary.
You can try to provoke Trump if you wish. It’s obvious that Trump can provoke you any time he wishes. Is that considered healthy?

“Read her website”? What for? Didn’t ya hear? Hillary is kaput, fini, done, finished. In other words, she lost. But it wasn’t her fault. Obama helped Hillary’s campaign.
The point was about what is actually The Will of the People, and how it should be reflected in the actions of our government. It’s a little bigger topic than your “Yay Team!” line.
I do feel kinda sorry for Hillary. She must still be stunned by the election result. That just wasn’t supposed to happen! It’s as if she were starring in a scripted movie with a grand finale that had been rehearsed down to the last detail. Then suddenly the movie went off script and she was left transfixed in the spotlight, not knowing what to say, wondering how this Lifetime feelgood film had turned into a horror movie.
She and her fellow actors blindly stumbled off the set to contemplate their ruined careers. There were no parts for them in the big-budget Trump extravaganza that had now begun filming.
It’s sad but I guess that’s show-business!
So why do you guys spend so much energy putting her down?
I’m still waiting for your anticipation of the wisdom Your Guy is ready to bestow upon all of us. Let’s hear about those excellent choices for the Cabinet! (Hey, The Working Guy will no longer be ignored with these folks in charge!) Tell us how proud you feel at each ludicrous Tweet.
Oh come on, they couldn’t do much worse than Obama’s crowd. As the NY Post puts it (and you may quibble at the source but try denying the facts):
.
Not exactly a hard act to follow.
Now kindly give us a summary of what the *last *Republican administration left to be cleaned up.

“Putting her down?” You mean like a dog? Or are you referring to the impending Congressional investigations into Hillary’s emails, cover ups, etc… Trump said he doesn’t want to hurt the Clinton family. That doesn’t mean that Congress won’t continue it’s quest for the truth. I wouldn’t count too much on the voters pressuring Congress to stop the Hillary investigations. Republicans, conservatives, and those pissed off Bernie supporters are still looking for information from Hillary.
I’m sure that many Democrats now want more of a role, or at least some influence, in the Trump administration. Repeatedly claiming that Hillary won the race that none of the Presidential candidates participated in isn’t going to count for much in the real world.
Even Hillary didn’t participate in the three recounts, money-grab scam by the Green party, or in the effort to turn the EC vote on it’s head. Hillary knows she lost. Again. Even if the Hillary worshippers can quite grasp the idea.
IOW, “Yay Team!”
As already noted.
We can quibble with the “facts” when the source isn’t even pretending to present facts. That is a cherry picked group of information, deliberately expressed in the most derogatory and misleading manner possible.
Quoting deliberately misleading things does not help you at all. One has only to google “Obama accomplishments” to see a list of things he and his administration accomplished.
If you thought that Trump’s appointments and nominations were decent, you wouldn’t need to pull shit shit. Even if, somehow, Obama’s cabinet had been bad, it would have no bearing on your guys.
Tu quoque remains a logical fallacy. You cannot win an argument by saying “they did it, too” or “but they were worse.”
Yeah, that defense really works, ‘Well, you should have seen those guys, they were even worse than us!’
Not exactly a ringing endorsement. And Obama had 8 years to fix these supposed faults. How the hell long did he need?
It is, BTW, rather disheartening how Republicans have fallen in line, even here. This board was basically anti-Trump, even among the conservatives. Yet now we see them defending him. Not directly, but they still do it. Because attacking liberals is more important.
And, no, it’s not the same thing as standing behind the nominee once the primaries are over. I’m talking people who were anti-Trump even when he won the nomination.
Hahahaha. Yay Team!
If the Democrat Party wants to accomplish anything over the next several years, they are going to have to re-learn the art of compromise. The ability to compromise is the key to good government. Claiming that their loss is actually a win will only get them laughed at. Elected Democrats can stand outside licking the windows, or they can try to regain some influence in Congress. Their choice.
Obama thinks he could have beaten Trump in an election. Why wouldn’t he? He’s the President of the U.S… Trump believes he would beat Obama in a head-to-head election. Considering that Trump just walked thru 17+ other candidates, why wouldn’t he also assume that he would beat the Obama?
Wasn’t The Guinness Book of Records started to solve previously unsolvable claims like this? (ie Is the golden plover, or the red grouse, the fast game bird in Europe?) All we have to do is hold another election, decide which election rules should decide the winner (the usual EC selection, or a national popular vote), and wait for the results.
A “non-stimulating $831 billion stimulus” is not a fact. It’s a conclusion that others disagree with and this “conclusion” does not address the severe recession that has been turned around into growth, albeit not stellar growth, but steady and consistent growth nonetheless with a corresponding sharp reduction in unemployment.
Regarding the “88 percent increase in the national debt,” it was actually 68% and as mentioned above included the stimulus, extending unemployment benefits during the Great Recession when so many people lost their jobs, as well as the unfunded wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The latter of which Obama expanded for the first few years of his administration. If Republicans had not insisted on continuing to lower taxes, let alone raise them on those Americans who could afford it and who were taxed a much higher rate during the years of those Communist presidents like Eisenhower and Nixon, the increase in the national debt might not have been as sharp.
Who is responsible for the “revocation of America’s triple-A bond rating”? I seem to recall that happening after bipartisan negotiations in the Republican-controlled House failed to get the Republicans to yield on letting the Bush tax cuts expire or at least to re-apportion them to middle class families only.
And I still don’t understand the GOP’s glee at Obamacare’s epic struggles (fail is bit premature given that so many of Trump’s base seem to be in fear of losing their insurance, including those on government-run Medicaid and not a private carrier, once Obamacare is repealed), given that Obamacare was a Republican idea.
