Not much, thanks to liberal resistance turds who put party over country. You can credit yourselves for the win if your own country trapped like a mammoth in the tar pit that you made for it can be called a win.

We just elected a president. You do realize that's not a wrong thing don't you? You set out to nullify the government. This is on you.

Looks like his accomplishments have been covered. In the future, I would encourage those that are against Trump to read more than the headlines or their anti-Trump dailies, and do a little research to avoid looking, well, ignorant.

My favorite is "keeping Hillary out of the White House", as that blessing crosses party lines, racial lines, gender lines........ You don't have to be a Republican to appreciate that!

In other words, the only place where we are "great again" is in some people's heads.
And it started with the first quarter of 2017.....but you don't want to hear that, because the first quarter is in OCT 2016....

you do realize the GOP can push through any bill it wants, it has a majority in the house, senate and the WH. they could have killed ACA without one single def vote, right...please tell me you can count to 50?

AS for the bold, I would suggest you look at GOP and Mitch McConnell quotes form 2010, as this was his and Boehner's stated goal, they actually said this out loud. but it's only bad when it hurts your team, right?

Supreme Gorsuch. If Trump appoints another Supreme Court Judge during his two terms as president, that will be gravy.

It got to the point, for me, that I'd even take four years of Donald Trump, of all people, to keep her from becoming Commander-in-Chief of the military.
Dems still don't understand most of us didn't vote for Trump. We voted against Hillary.

I'm happy with the results.

So first you tell me I'm wrong and that it's all because of Republican disunity. And then you tell me how the GOP had it coming from the Democrats as tit for tat for what Ted Cruz did to Obama. You're admitting that the Democrats have taken a hated page from the Republicans' old playbook and blown it up into something that would choke both Tolstoy and Chance & Change ... but you're absolved from your own disgusting wallow in hypocrisy because it's Republican disunity that's to blame. Right. Your 'resistance' nullification movement in the media, intel community, federal courts, congress and senate which has coalesced into the Dem's neo-McCarthyistic "red scare" witch-hunt for Russian collusion ... that's all been entirely ineffective, right? That's what you're trying to tell me - "We did it. We took some of the Republican's nasty fu**ery that we hated so much and then we amplified it by 10 and played it right back at them but we aren't scumbag hypocrites because it was entirely ineffective." The Republicans are completely responsible for their own lack of forward progress.

So phony.

A truly wasted vote.

1) I never said it was right
2) Either way, had the GOP not thrown away all norms this reality wouldn't exist
3) The GOP could have passed ACA repeal without 1 single Def vote, yet didn't manage to get it done which will have downstream effects on tax reform and the entire legislative agenda.

Governing is hard, simple and vague answers don't actually achieve anything.
