I understand why he (and half of America) feel the way they do about Trump. It's the same way the other half of America would feel if hillary had won.
While I'm glad Trump won over hillary, if we're completely honest he brings a lot of the drama upon himself. The last election gave us two candidates who were, for a plethora of reasons, less than ideal (to be polite).
I heard a quote from Joe Biden where he claims he could have easily defeated Trump, and I agree. He would have. The die hard party line votes would not have changed, but the vast majority of voters who held their nose while voting for Trump or Hillary would most likely have cast that ballot for Biden. Who know what affect that could have had on the House/Senate seats.
So, I have little empathy for the democrats. They brought it upon themselves by running such a flawed candidate. The Reps were given a golden opportunity after voters expressed disgust with the dems, and so far they're mostly squandering it with petty infighting. Meanwhile, the dems could face the same golden opportunity 18 months from now, but they need to quit whining about Trump, wise up - quit feeding into his drama, get themselves organized, and move forward with a solid plan if they want any chance.
Meanwhile, I still hope/pray for a viable, sensible 3rd party to form and force these other 2 to become more moderate and less extreme in their agendas. IMO America needs less extremism in our government and more compromise / middle of the road legislation at the Fed level. People need to realize what works in CA most likely will not work in KS, and that it's OK for others to live a different life than they do. Not everyone has to be 100% just like them to be a good citizen and provide value to the country.
