You fit liberal demographics pretty well. 1. Ignorant as a box of rocks What the heck, we can just stop with that one, no need to go any farther. Of your list, you got #1 and #4 correct. You lose (which is to be expected), but thanks for playing and try again some other time. On second thought, don’t. ---

> [@scr4](#): > > Except you already admitted that’s not your motivation. You didn’t say “Thank you for preventing Hillary from doing \ to our country.” You said “Thank you … for having the gall and temerity to beat Hillary Clinton, thereby causing every liberal extant to simultaneously develop a massive case of the red-ass. Their constant whining is music to our ears.” It sure sounds like you care more about hurting liberals than about making our country better. Sigh. Let’s try this again. I’ll type slower. Voting for Trump WAS making our country better. The whining is a fringe benefit. ---

What’s difficult to wrap my head around is WHY you would deliberately choose to have the country you profess to care about (which is stuck on this planet that we’re living on) be led by the WORST POSSIBLE candidate. Go back and read what I posted. Read it until you comprehend the fact that Trump was NOT the WORST POSSIBLE candidate. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > … comprehend the fact that Trump was NOT the WORST POSSIBLE candidate. Given the inordinate amount of time, effort and money spend stateside during the primary season I would have thought that aspiring to a tad higher political standard would not have been an unreasonable goal. YMMV. ---

Not the worst possible candidate. What an accolade, give that man an Oval Office and a following of thick skulled mouth breathers. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > Voting for Trump WAS making our country better. The whining is a fringe benefit. One wonders, then, why you decided to mention the reaction of liberals first, and to only defend Trump’s effect on the country after you were called on it. And even if it’s not the most important result of the election, you do, by your own admission, see the distress of fellow Americans as a desirable state of affairs. Is that really who you want to be? ---

Thank you President Trump, for winning the election that kept Hillary Clinton from ever becoming president. She now can devote the rest of her life peddling her book that blames everyone else for her loss. ---

I don’t know that it was necessary for trump to attain power in order for Clinton to write and distribute a book, though had she won, obviously, it would not have been about the event surrounding the loss of the election. It is good to see that you have such a high opinion of her that you wouldn’t mind having our country harmed in order to read her works, but I personally could have waited till after her presidency. ---
