"so many of the batshit-insane ideas we expressed back in the day"
The real question is which ideas we examine in four-eight years. I'm looking forward to evaluating predictions that Trump will "drain the swamp," reduce the deficit, avoid the wars that were "inevitable" under a Clinton administration, and improve our economy. I hope he succeeds in all of those things. I fear that he won't. We should meet here again at the end of his administration and evaluate these claims.
"And Obama was going to bring peace and prosperity?Well, he didn't "destroy the U.S.," as was feared. Free speech still exists. The economy's better than when he took office - and no, that doesn't mean that the recovery has benefited everyone. Stocks are up. The deficit is down. We've seen both successes in foreign policy initiatives and failures. Conflicts have remained, mostly, regional affairs, over there and away from our shores. We've seen terrorist attacks on us, but most of that has been in response to our very effective diminishing of ISIS's ground

That's funny, I've seen all this from the exact other side, and "look forward" to the same.
Oh wait, no I don't, because I'm pragmatic and have met the human race. Although, looking back...I guess conservatives really should've protested and rioted more as that is what makes a person "right

Funny how we knew there needed no effort this time around. When you run the worst candidate on the planet, there is no drive to explain the obvious.
Merry Christian!
