"When Trump took office, we had the White House and both branches of Congress,"

https://www.yahoo.com/news/even-stephen-miller-reportedly-thinks-045700664.html

--------

Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman reports that even senior adviser Stephen Miller, the immigration hardliner who crafted Trump's travel ban and pushed to separate migrant families at the border, "told one Republican that it was a terrible day."


It's going to be hard for Trump to find sympathy anywhere, Sherman reports. Many Republican officials blame him for the GOP losing both of Georgia's Senate seats, due to Trump repeatedly saying the state rigged the presidential election. "When Trump took office, we had the White House and both branches of Congress," one Republican strategist told Sherman. "Now we have nothing. He inherited a Lamborghini and treated it like a lawn mower."

4. They have the Supreme Court for a generation

or at least until Dems get enough of a majority to be able to reform the court and add justices.

The GOP made a deal with the Devil in order to get judges - which they did get - but they've inflicted massive harm on the country and their own party which has devolved into an alt-right cult.

7. The same way he wrecked his businesses in private life

The only difference is that in private life he kept getting infusions of millions from his daddy when he was younger and then later on he perfected the use of intimidation and bullying tactics in his business dealings. And as a final resort he declared bankruptcy a few times.

9. I love the "we didn't see that coming" BS from right wing idiots

kinda of like Susan Collins "I think he learned his lesson". We all knew this before he even ran again in 2015. I hope the majority of Americans get it now. If not, oh well it will all happen again. The idiocracy was almost completed on Wed.

10. I'd put it this way: He inherited a Lamborghini, and left us a lawnmower

And even the lawnmower doesn't work.
