So, for the moment, I guess it all depends on which echo chamber someone chooses to yell into here. The choice really doesn't matter, as either will give back the echoes the person wants to hear, or will only add to the jumbled noise no one can make any sense of just yet. I once thought Obama would be the most disputed President ever.

I was wrong. Now I'm wondering if anyone who follows him will ever top Trump. I hope not.
Yeah, People do constantly forget that. The democrats will be back on top eventually, the only variable is how long. Given some of the mis-steps so far, I would be surprised to see the Republicans holding the house, senate, and presidency after 2020. Even 2018 is looking like some of it will flip.

The democrat party is too divided between the Bernie supports, the Hillary supporters, and normal people.

still believing the tripe you heard from the clinton advertising agency, aka cnn, msnbc, cbs, nbc, abc, etc.

it was the clinton campaign that claimed trump was racist, bigoted, etc. the reality is that trump wants to actually pull america back together again. its the democrats that are dividing everyone with their identity politics.

Democrats seem to get riled when all those votes in California were from illegal voters. As if they knew...

I'm a moderate democrat, but I had to turn on the party because nobody that was in power, I felt spoke for me. It also doesn't help we got some really crazy liberal lefties that have just gone off the deep end. From protesting by blocking roads creating violent riots and just wrecking havoc. You got people doing speeches at the colleges, and there here come the protesters, acting extremely bigoted and annoying. Then the SJW, where they are trying to find issues with every little thing. I mean, who in their right minds actually watches and agrees with MTV's Decoded????

Both sides love America, we just disagree on details. Thats the reality. And Trump isnt bringing closer together. If he was he wouldnt be using racist insults like pocahantas, or calling them other names, and the healthcare bill would have some democrat amendments, like the aca that had over 100 Republican ones.

I'd be very impressed with a Republican president who was doing so. This one isnt one. Look at you, you even go right for it and demonstrate it by starting with how bad and evil liberals are. And thats nonsense.

I believe you have misjudged the situation...Sanders and Clinton are irrelevant--Last year's news.

The Democratic party is united by a deep and abiding hatred for Donald Trump...much like the Republicans felt about Obama..with one critical difference..a lot of Republicans feel the same way!

Look at Congress..The democrats vote together..as a block..The Republicans are fractured...and infighting is destroying their chance of meaningful change...the people of this country wanted change--Trump rode that wave--but they are getting nothing they want..while some of the base is overjoyed--the country as a whole is not impressed.

Look at the AHCA--an abortion of a bill that was passed only to claim some mythical 'victory'---no one claims it..no one is willing to defend it--the best that Republicans can say is that, 'the Senate will fix it'.

The people are not fooled--many on both sides of the aisle are beginning to panic..and talk about solutions to the pickle that we find ourselves in.

The Republican's best hope may be a quiet stroke in the night..and President Pence to restore normalcy.

It's laughable that Americans think Hillary Clinton is "progressive".

Yeah, I'd say the nation is turning away from the D party.
