Since 2010, Dems lost over a thousand elective races, all across the country, but because Zero was in the White House, the left remained delusionally optimistic that they would rule the world forever.
It never dawned on them that they'd lost both houses of Congress, most governorships, and most state legislatures to the Republicans, precisely because of how radically they'd governed when they were in charge.
These fools followed Hillary Clinton, possibly the worst candidate they've ever run for president, right up to election night, still believing the people would hand her (and them) that power once again.
The lack of situational awareness across the political left was astonishing to me. I watched the cranial detonation going on from coast to coast with complete amazement. The fact that they were universally 'shocked' at the election outcome, told me all I need to know (and what I've long suspected) about modern day liberals. They ain't got a clue.
