All of you Trumptards are shytstains on the United States of America.
This is why you lost. I have seen no evidence that liberals understand why they lost. I see no course corrections happening on their side.
Just keep telling your fellow Americans that they suck and see what that gets you.
Dude, it is abundantly clear why and how Trump fooled people into voting for him. Yes, the Democrats let many of those people down. This is no secret, and the Democrats have been talking about it. They are aware. I DO agree with you that so far there aren't many corrections on the side of Democrats, but that is mainly due to near constant reacting to the crazy in the White House.
So, what will Democrats run on in 2018?:
1) We cleaned house of our sexual abusers.
2) We didn't allow Obamacare to go down.
3) We voted against this very unpopular tax bill that greatly helps the wealthy and only does so for a short amount of time for everyone else, and it threatens Social Security and Medicare.
4) We are the party who did NOT support Roy Moore.
Now, they NEED to do more than that for integrity's sake. The above might be enough to win a lot in a midterm election, but it won't be enough moving past that.
Now, SINCE the election, we have seen a President do the following:
1) Pardon Arpaio. Dude went against the order of a judge. Just can't do that. We live in a nation of laws, and Trump said he would be the Law and Order President...yeah right.
2) Said people on the side of White Supremacists were "good people" and made them equal to the protesters of that rally.
3) Lie and lie and lie. It is indisputable that he is without question and by far the biggest liar ever to be in the White House. It is not even close.
4) Obstruct justice. He has clearly done that, and that will be one of the charges against him. The funny thing is that he could eventually be proven innocent of the conspiracy but yet this could stick. You don't actually have to be found guilty of a crime to be charged with obstructing justice in the investigation of that crime or potential crime. You don't even have to be successful in obstructing justice either...just attempt to do it.
5) Retweetracist tweets.
6) Go golfing at a record pace at an alarming cost to the American taxpayers.
7) Not release his tax returns as he said he would.
8) Not sue the women who accused him of assault.
9) Not continue to insist that Mexico would pay for the border wall.
10) Allow his AG to say that states aren't protected with their marijuana laws after Trump himself said on the campaign trail that he would leave this up to the states.
11) Supported Roy Moore, a known racist and misogynist and accused child molester.
12) Tweet relentlessly unhinged things including a provocative tweet about nuclear weapons in response to North Korea.
13) And we have seen his cohorts indicted or admitting to criminal behavior.
I could go on and on. He has shown he doesn't understand that the national debt and stock market gains are disconnected. He has shown he doesn't realize Israel is in the Middle East and a whole host of other idiotic things. He has shown he doesn't understand the role he has and the role others in the government have...it is not to serve him. He is to serve the people, and all government officials are to serve the people. The AG is not there to protect him, and there can be no comparison to other recent presidents' AGs, because Trump is under a criminal investigation and they were not.
So, did all those Trump voters in 2016 suck? No. Does anyone who continues to support him now suck? Absolutely. He is a serial liar. He is a sexual predator. He is a creep (going backstage at his pageants to see naked women who don't want him there is evidence that he is a creep). He is a bad business man...to the point that he has 6 bankruptcies on his books and has bilked US banks out of so much that they will no longer loan him money. So, I could go get a multi-million dollar loan from Bank of America if I wanted to, and he can't and yet he's the financial genius? No...he's a criminal. Money laundering is going to stick hard on him.
This is not about the election and hasn't been for a long time now. What has happened is that in the last year we have increasingly been made aware how horrible of a man Donald Trump is and how crooked and underhanded he is, and that is why despite a soaring stock market and great economy, that his approval numbers are in the 30s.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
