5. The Republicans spent eight years focused on obstructing Obama, and previously derailing Clinton.

They've forgotten how to actually function and legislate in Congress. Certainly Mitch McConnell was proudly to blame for this in the Senate, and I'm loving that it's come back to haunt him with Trump (no matter what story they're currently pushing). Former V.P. candidate Paul Ryan, although nicely handled by Joe Biden in their debate, has now shown what an overrated phony he really is, thus far as an ineffectual Speaker. I forget which Republican politician recently stated that it's more important to get elected so you CAN serve. HA! The Republicans long ago forgot about being the "loyal opposition," and the Democrats have neutered themselves by sticking to that old canard for far too long.
