Progressives are very "obsessed" about this since they are stuck on this ship. Can you really blame them?

Meanwhile, the righties are cheering on the approaching iceberg as "the novel approach we need to government," and busy obsessing about some old woman down in steerage - aka Clinton.

It should be obvious at this point which party is the sane one in this parable.
Following your analogy we've just come off the last 8 years on the Titanic that's been piloted almost to it's doom by Capt Queeg!

Is coal back (no)?

Now - granted - if you knew he was lying when he claimed all this and more...then, no, you haven't been had. In that case you got exactly what you paid for and more....
Did we get to keep our doctors?
Did we get $1500 trimmed from our healthcare costs?
Did we get to keep our insurance?
Is GITMO closed?
Are we out of the Middle East?

There's just a few of the last incompetent resident of the White House's promises.
Fair and balanced...

In short, they love to "forget" what they ran on....preferring to just obtain power by hook or by crook and then do exactly as they please.

The economy wasn't in ruins but it was the weakest recovery since the 1940s. Now it looks like the economy is growing at a faster rate. A good thing for everyone except the leftists.

Looks like -- either it is or isn't -- you do understand that right?

And it isn't growing at a faster rate at all.

You have no numbers just feelings -- and well -- you can't argue with feelings for sure.

You have just educated me how little you know about statistics and polls. I will remember that the next time you attempt to comment on them.

There was no way she was going to win. She said so herself.


Consider this:
California has 18 million registered voters. 8.7 million of them voted for Hillary.
She could have got all 18 million and still lost.
That's why popular vote doesn't count.
