Yes, I understood your point.
But, apparently....The point I was making went right over your head.

Not at all. Merely pointing out that the defeated need time to heal and lick their wounds.

Appreciate your hostility though.

OK. So, who which interests were represented by:

- killing the Keystone pipeline. Polling (to the extent that we trust polling) indicate that a majority of Americans supported it).

- Obamacare. Most Americans oppose it.

- Settlement of Syrian refugees in the US. Most Americans oppose it.

- Iran Nuke deal. Most Americans oppose it.

- Governing via executive order. Who knows who the constituencies are for many of these since there's no debate or discussion?

How many of these assertions would survive an independent factcheck?
And apparently an electoral college majority thought making a puerile vindictive fact averse demagogue our President was a good idea.

No politician is perfect and legislation moves slowly especially when congress takes a vow to obstruct. But, I'll take an imperfect politician who is guided by good intentions for the benefit of those represented over an immature admitted sexual predator who lies every time he opens his mouth and can't get over his own ego any day of the week.

Just trying to get you to own yours. Doubled down, instead.

But I have said from day one of Trumps Presidential bid that he is unfit, unqualified, and a danger to our democracy. I stand by that assessment. I fear we are in for some very dark days.

Also for anyone who might take my beliefs and opinions as a reason to name call and insult I will ignore you. I won't waste my time with juvenile theatrics.
Well you did a nice job of stuffing as many name calls and insults in there as you could, and then proclaiming that you can dish it out and won't take it. For toppers, YOU don't have time for juvenile theatrics. That's rich.

If you just took a little time and tried some synonyms rather than the generic hit words, and maybe found a trinket of a story to back up one of your many allegations, we could at least get some entertainment from your failed strategy.

Trump's shortcomings are well documented and I insulted no one. You will say I insulted Trump but that's impossible. Given the history of his actions he has proven himself to be unfit, unqualified, and dangerous.
