Deal with it.

Even though Trump won by electoral numbers but not by popular numbers.
It seems that if there is someone here who's not dealing with reality..............It's you.

This is why I called the Democratic Party leaders wimps as they allow this to happen over and over.

To a certain extent yes.
However Obama has also been a wimp.
Or perhaps a stealth collaborator.
This is a handsome charismatic dude who was elected in 2008 with a substantial mandate and had an almost cult like following of supporters.
He never put that to use.

Not to mention Obama did not put Garland in via recess appointment when he had the chance.
I said it was a mistake at the time, but I just got poo-pooed by the bots here who assured me that Obummer was playing some kind of long game that would hurt the Republicans in the election.

Find one thing in my post that wasn't true.
I voted for Obama twice.
I was a fool.
I've heard some people on the right suggest that he was some kind of Manchurian Candidate.
But now, when I look back on his record, I think they may be right.
He was a Manchurian Candidate.
Of the Republican Party.

Garland's appointment would have been temporary and the 'brain trust' of the Dem Party (brain damaged is more like it) figured anointing Hillary as President will be a slam dunk. Well Hillary lost to Trump and that's like Stockton dunking on Malone.

Yes, but the Republicans would then have had to show their asses by not confirming him, or by voting him down. Either way that would have cost them more political capital than the way Obummer handled it.

BS. The GOP has already shown that it's a bunch of gutless, unprincipled weasels by rolling over for der Trumpenfuhrer. Same goes for you, BTW.
