That's hysterical considering Obama, Clinton and the entire DNC lied so many times it could not keep the lies straight. My favorite was when Obama said about the ACA "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor."
The Democratic party is in it's death kneel. Good riddance the country will be better off when they the final remnants of this corrupt regime is swept away over the next 4 to 8 years.

An outsider had to be the guy this time around.
Enter Trump.
I would have voted for Romney, and I think a lot of other people would have as well.

We (my wife and I) were Democrats most of our lives and then we became Independents. However, before the Primaries; we switched to become Republicans - just to vote for Trump. We never would have switched for Romney. Possibly we might not have gone to the polls? We had the same enthusiasm for Romney as we did for Hillary - they were past losers and they exemplified the 'system'.

This is where both Parties got it wrong. We never wanted politicians that promised 'change' and forgot the word as soon as they were sworn in. Most of the Republican Party was against Trump's 'change'. The Republicans fought against Trump as hard as the Democrats; sometimes it seemed as if they were fighting harder! Many of them still have not buried the axe and cannot be trusted.

What America wants in any of our politicians are people that work for us - we have not had that for many years. If, for any reason, Trump does not make a valiant attempt to fulfill his promises; my wife and I will again become Independents and probably will never support another politician! On the other hand; we do like where Trump is going and the attention he has paid to the people that put him in office - we think he is off on the right foot. We do expect major change.

Can't believe Mitt really believed he might be SOS. Guess his ego got in his way. Total humiliation. Only thing missing was him slipping on a banana peel in the lobby of Trump Towers.

He did lose his car so that was the proverbial banana peel moment.
