WDMSO is correct that a good number of people complained about Obama's extravagant vacations, and the cost.

I didn't mind the cost, so much as the optics that take place when there was a terrorist incident, and Obama would be seen playing golf later that day.

I would imagine that Trump needs far more security than anyone else, ever, no one was hated to this degree.

You yourself had so much hate you called President Obama POS. You've called women the c word. Looks to me like you have become what you hate.

I surely did. But when I called him that, it was based on things that, you know, he actually said and did. Whereas your side...well, you could fill an ocean with valid criticisms of Trump, but that doesn't quench the thirst your side has for vilifying the man. So when he says "I condemn bigotry", many lefties claim that makes him a bigot. You point to one thing I have said that's that deranged, I'll eat my hat.

And if Hilary isn't the c-word, no one ever was. You call tens of millions of people who disagree with you deplorable and irredeemable (and many of those simply disagree with her the deplorable position that unborn babies are pretty special), you are the c-word. Calling her that, makes a hell of a lot more sense than calling Trump a Nazi.

It didn't work on me but that Deplorables bit probably cost her the election.

Couldn't agree more, the folks in flyover country finally had enough of getting kicked around.

The way I see things, the Democrats (at the national level) learned exactly nothing about the 2016 election. Still hanging their hats on identity politics, the DNC told a group of pro-life Democrats that they weren't welcome to run candidates in the 2018 midterms. They aren't doing anything to expand their tent, except hoping (and it's not without merit) that Trump will repulse large numbers of people enough that they abandon the Republican party.

The Senate races that are up in 2018...the GOP could not have designed it better. One Republican up in a state that Hilary won, and 10 (I think) Democrats up in states that Trump won.
