F obama. he's been there and done that....or nothing. Do you really want to compare trumps presidency to obama's???? Opinions are already set on that one.

Compare trump words to trump action. HOW CAN THAT BE A BAD THING? Unless no one here has the ability to be objective.

I would say that roughly half of the country failed to be Objective during the last eight years. Many are still not.

The first 100 days will tell the tale. At this time, attempts to say Trump has gone back on promises before he's even taken office is not realistic, but it is predictable in its attempts to Demonize.

Miss negative nancy Ken!!! why is your glass always half full? This should prove that trump IS different and WILL be way better than most??

I hope trump is the best prez america ever has.....believe it or not.

Funny how his supporters leave his side so quickly. I'm sure 'IF' he fails to deliver....one could always compare him to the worst of the bunch, and say well....he lied less than the rest.

Lets hope his DID list becomes bigger then his failed to do list. Otherwise....we were all fooled.

Hard to say where the electorate was on the bookend Republican "wins" of hanging chads and the court in Florida and a minority in the second, with clear majorities in the middle and the president with higher approval rating than the president-elect during the election.

A good omen is the president calling for cooperation with the new administration during post-election talk of fighting it at every turn, and the absence of whining from the losing side about voting irregularities which accompanied the previous two.

Rid yourself of notions of politicians keeping promises. They never do.

I don't believe you.

What makes you think you would like his 'did' list. Aren't they just going to be punchlines for racism, misogyny, class warfare and climate change talking points? He probably did number two this morning, but you're failing to see the quality of his Presidential transition leadership.

Number one accomplishment, he's already marginalized the fellow that is supposed to be so popular, according to the same polls that said hill would win. He's not marginalizing the person, but bringing sharp policy differences into the limelight.

So far, he has failed to fall on his face. How long before the righteous, thoughtful, contemplative bo goes on the party line attack, a few days, a week or two? Yup, happy holidays.

The lack-o-whining is two fold. First, a crushing defeat, regardless of the 'minority' vote mantra. And, a concern by the army of lawyers tasked to whine, for the infirm tyrant, weren't going to be paid for their services. That's a bad omen for the state of the losing party and the true chaos they might want to work through.

Obama's back-to-back wins weren't crushing defeats?

No, for a few reasons. The 2008 was a large loss for Republicans, having also lost control of the house and Senate on a national level. The historical aspect of running against the first African American candidate was an almost impossible hurdle.

Obama won again in 2012, against a poor candidate (a la Clinton for the Democrats in 2016) but it was tempered victory.

Since 2010 Democrats have lost over 900 seats at both the state and Federal levels. After the 2016 elections Republicans control 33 governorships, along with both houses in 32 states. Democrats have that type of majority in only 5 states. Those are astonishing numbers.

There has been an overwhelming Republican takeover happening nationwide since 2010 at both the state and Federal levels. The country is decidedly shifting directions, and it is not to the left.

They were to me. Heck, I even built a combo cry room and survival bunker, complete with colander head gear and high capacity coloring books.

Back up a few comments and reread what your buddy dal thinks of the crusher. F ooper dooper, eh?
