Who is joyful, confident and bloodthirsty? Is this the secret ingredient in popular politicians and other people? The sanguine nature of Trump makes him irresistible.
Awards for every use of the word. Frame them and put them on your wall right up there with your diplomas.

Although one could never describe Obama’s complexion as sanguine (he’s looking rather grey these days) his character qualifies because of the cavalier way he has bargained away the future of this nation.

he shared liver, some fava beans, and a nice Chianti
with his sanguine Planned Parenthood followers.

Waaay too close to the truth. I fully expected the Gosnell saga to offer recipes for immature long pork.

Cavalier comes to mind as descriptive of the Obama cycle. Nevertheless, I certainly am in agreement with your assessment.

George Armstrong Custer literally (and figuratively) had a Cavalier Attitude as he was in the Cavalry. Zero has a Cavalier attitude as he is a self absorbed, narcissistic POS who does what he pleases and ignores the consequences.

Planned Parenthood bigwigs are sanguine
Drink wine, sell baby parts, and grin
No respect for the fetus
How could these these ghouls beat us?
The liberal Supremes let this gang win

The world has turned sanguine
When a drag queen dressed in sequin
Who's a pathetic freak
Named woman of the week
And Vogue applauds this “win”.
Caitlyn Jenner Named One of Vogue's Best Dressed Women of the Week...That's Bruce Jenner. No legal name change, no cutting off of male parts. They exaggerate. He's just a rich drag queen.

I am not sanguine that we can beat the obamunists, “gays”, race-baiters, domestic islamists, and obamacare bureaucrats anytime soon.
Nor am I sanguine that we can find and elect a Republican candidate for President who can help us beat this pack of enemies!!!!

Don’t care any more. They’ve cried wolf over thugs and lowlifes too many times.
There are two Americas. The rational one and the one where police kill black people with impunity.

A curious word. It can be used to mean 2 contradictory attitudes, happiness and horrifying.
