he American people rewarded the president—for only the third time in almost a hundred years—with a net gain of three and possibly four Senate seats, lost half the House seats that his predecessor lost

Nope losing the house is not a REWARD Period

Didn’t the liberals believe that Obama was the smartest man in the room?

I remember seeing some idiots on TV once, saying that Obama was so brilliant, etc. and that him being president was actually a step down, in terms of his intellect and abilities.

And we know Hillary was the smartest woman in the world. How many times did we hear that sort of talk?

45 vacancies was a tough nut to crack; but a necessary one. The house needed cleaning. More to do, but a good start. Here comes the Battle Royal.... Trump will ground and pound!!!

[Kickass Conservative]

If 45 Republicans hadn’t retired from the House it is possible that the GOP may have kept the majority.

Just sayin’, not that it makes any difference now.

Had that happened, I can’t even imagine the amount of pain and anguish on the Left.

“In spite of the massive, collective effort all of them made to bring down our Commander-in-Chief, they now have to deal with the cold hard fact that President Donald J. Trump is indeed the smartest guy in the room!”

If they had cared to read anything about him at all (well, besides the tabloid crap over the last 40 years), they’d have found out that he turned a $1 million loan into a multi-billion dollar fortune before inheriting anything from his father. He did deals, multiple times, that no one believed possible, and many times over the active opposition of NYC government (including the Mayor). He is a workaholic who sleeps maybe 4 hours a night. How is it that you defeat a smart, focused workaholic who is thinking about how to get the better of you while you are sleeping?

But LET them underestimate him - it works to his advantage (and, now, to ours also).
