Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin went on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last week and said that there have been people who are optimistic about Trump, but added that there’s the other half who think that this is the worst thing that’s ever happened in their lives. My God—will these people ever get over it? I mean I hope they don’t. The more they whine, the better the Republicans’ electoral chances look in 2018 and 2020. Still, have these folks forgotten about the 9/11 attacks? And Halperin also added that Trump’s victory was more cataclysmic than 9/11 (via Daily Caller):
“Outside of the Civil War, World War II, and including 9/11, this may be the most cataclysmic event the country has ever seen,” Halperin said on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert Thursday, appearing with collaborator John Heilemann.“I don’t want to minimize the loss of life in 9/11, and in the wars,” Halperin said. “Obviously that is beyond anything that has happened. But if you think of how this has convulsed the country — More than half of the country that voted against him and is upset about his being president — it’s self inflicted.”
Halperin commented on the divide between how Trump supporters and others in the country view the new administration. “I’ve traveled a lot since [Trump] got elected and there are people who are hopeful, and optimistic, and really think this is the kind of change we need. And there are adults who say to me, ‘This is the worst thing that’s happened to me in my life.'”

Anyone who truly believes this and isn’t just engaging in character assassination hyperbole has led a charmed life.
I cried myself to sleep when jOkeass won in ‘08.
Clearly, the situation is hopeless for this person. The only solution is that they off themselves as soon as possible.
Cue Phyllis Diller laugh SFX...
I think they’d have a worse day if a muslim rapes them or kills a loved one. Very stupid people.
I share your disappointment in the lack of conviction on the part of those who tearfully proclaimed that they would either kill or deport themselves.
These are people who think 60 million murdered Americans since 1973 is a good thing. They are incapable of evaluating anything rationally.
“Halperin: People Have Told Me That Trump’s Win Was The Worst Event In Their Lives.”
I’m sure that is the absolute truth. I’m sure many people he hangs out with believe that.
I remember when my first snowman melted too.
Stalinists lie. Always
Funny. The night Trump won was one of the top five BEST events in my life.
Do they ever see their hypocrisy . Like you said how many Presidents have had half the country vote against them?
[Did They Forget 9/11? ]
The left didn’t give a damn about 9/11.
They felt we deserved it.
Halperin... has never been through or to a war, as only war can give you both the absolute worse or best day(s) of one’s life.
There are many kinds of war, and experiencing a war shifts the personal perspective of one’s life diametrically from what you knew to what you know after the experience.
Then they are living shallow, uninspired lives, learning nothing from loss, sacrifice, and trust in the Lord. How pathetic they must be to not even have the sensitivity to others who truly understand what a “worst event” means.
Can’t be said enough.
