Democrats, the election of 2016 was a grim one, no doubt about it. But let's face facts here, Hillary Clinton was a weak and flawed candidate who deserved to lose, but things are looking brighter, I promise. If Hillary had won, she would have been paralyzed by a hostile Congress who would surely have blocked her every move. Now that Trump won we have a very different situation:
* President Trump and his staff are the focus of multiple investigations regarding collusion with Russia in rigging our election and, financial crimes. Donald Trump's angry tweets about these investigations only give more ammunition to prosecutors, and his political opponents.
* The GOP, despite controlling both houses of Congress and the White House can't seem to agree on much. Healthcare, Tax reform, the budget, infrastructure, and the national debt remain at a standstill nearly 6 months into this administration...and the voting public is not happy about it.
* With Donald Trump's approval rating stabilized at 35-40%, he has little leverage with Congress, Republicans who oppose pending legislation will simply continue to do so
* With the GOP controlling Congress and the White House, Republicans who seek to blame Democrats for their lack of progress is gaining little or no traction with independent and swing voters, who expect the GOP to deliver on their many lofty promises.
* The GOP's health plan is far less popular with the voting public than Obamacare, and passing a GOP drafted health plan that gives so many lavish tax breaks to the rich would be political suicide.
* Donald Trump's overly friendly attitude with Russia, and his hostile attitude with America's traditional allies has angered even some Republicans, who don't view Russia as a friend.
So relax Democrats, just dispose of Hillary, and the next 2 elections look pretty bright for you.
