You actually lost more than one election in the past 8 years.
But hey, BO did well for himself, so it's all OK with you.
Hope all Democrats have your outlook.
No, actually i didn't. I only have control of the people that i personally voted for. The people i voted for pretty much all won in the last eight years.
And yeah..it's all OK with me. Why does that bother you? I'm not sulking an sniveling enough for your taste? LOL
Yes, that's why Boehner got ****-canned and Jeb, for all his money, couldn't find double-digit support.
This is a movement of the people.
You should be asking what their political philosophy is.
It is their political philosophy that has proven incompatible with both Democrats and the corporate ***** wing of the Republican Party and brought about their defeat.
Of course you already know what their political philosophy is because you have been railing against it on this forum since 2009.
Excuse me, but when in the hell did you become anti corporate? In November of this year? LMAO...that's funny.
What guarantee do you have that he's gonna nominate a "true originalist?" What is Trump's stance on SCOTUS nominees?
You don't know, do you?

Problem is, Trump's voters like the wars and they WANT a confrontational policy.
Trump has already promised that we're gonna defeat ISIS (major load of bull) and has said that "we don't win anymore."
Now that caricature is their president elect. Think about it. Obama traumatized them.
LOL Are you kidding?
Tell this to the ~1100 Democrats who are no longer in elected position having lost their seats to Republicans.
You can start here in North Carolina with former Senator Kay Hagen. In 2014 Democrats spent close to $100M this state alone to protect that seat. It's now held by a Republican.
Eric Cantor is the only party leader who got kicked out though. Boehner could have held on to his seat till he died, but he actually admitted he didnt like the direction of the party itself, so he left.
Also, how is trump not a RINO ????
RINO? Reaganism is finally dead. Trump sent it to the bottom of the ocean.
Boehner gave up his seat because they were getting ready to remove him as Speaker for siding with Obama too many times. Cantor was voted out for much of the same. They sided too much with the globalists, lobbiests, supported wars of choice, illegal amnesty, etc etc. They were the establishment.
It's fascinating that many (most) didn't see this as a warning shot. Trump was one of those who did and used it to defeat the entire GOP establishment, the MSM, and finally Hillary Clinton.
This whole RINO vs Conservative vs Liberal vs what it means to be a Democrat or Republican, is now just nonsense. Trump has turned it on its head and like I predicted about the election, his approach will be nothing like what we have seen since Reagan too office.
A turned around economy, from the greatest economic collapse since the Depression.
Winning two terms over a Republican opposition who's hatred was personal
A budget surplus, despite a costly stimulus bailout of the economy
Say what you want about Obamacare, until them coal miners in West Virginia, who voted for Trump, lose their health benefits after it's repeal.....!
Not one damn scandal from either Him, his family, or his administration!
Thoughtful wisdom instead of angry, ignorant politics!
African-American unemployment at 8.6%. One can make an argument on the quality of jobs, but I've never seen it, with any President, under 10! (shoot, it was more like 15!) And in general, it's at 5%. It was around 10, at the end of 2008!
He'll be appreciated, down the road, like Truman! (actually, he going out with a very high popularity, with the uncertainty over the next prez!)
No. Obama had nothing to do with that. The RINOs who claimed to be Republicans are the ones who did that by their own action or inaction. I realize that for liberals it's difficult to comprehend holding people in your own party accountable and not blame it on anything else, but we do. And that's why you have President Trump right now - because we got sick of the liars.
Before you come back with "b-but Trump is a liar", keep in mind how many in the Republican establishment fought him tooth and nail. There was a reason that we wanted him.
This x1000
Pretty obvious who didn't want Trump. The establishment figures in both parties, but specifically the republican estab puppets, the media by large, and hollywood. I enjoyed watching him take down the 17 other candidates, specifically Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Scott Walker, John Kasich, and lastly Hillary Clinton.
