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.'”

Every day I’m grateful that Hillary is not in the White House.
Obama was there to initiate a slow coup of the USA. Hillary was supposed to finish it.
It’s frightening to think that a few hundred thousand votes more in a few states, and the coup would go on. Goodbye, America.
I believe that Trump won primarily because liberals are so arrogant and out of touch they believe their own dishonest media. Trump was a jerk. Hillary had to win. She would definitely win. I suspect there are more crooked things they would have done if only they had known they needed to!
“What in hell is wrong with these people?”
They’re emotionally stunted and can’t bear a world in which people who strongly disagree with them exist?
There, fixed it.
Ironically, since most of them are likely atheists you know they don’t thank God every day that they haven’t lost loved ones or faced serious illness/accidents, job losses etc. IOW they have not been visited by reality much or if they have they somehow manage to remain live only in the moment drama queens.
Never forget these are the people who think they should be running this country!
Liberals are certifiably nuts . . .
You can say that again.

We can still hope for them to move to Canada like they promised. Right?
NEVER. HAPPEN.

Just think how much better off our nation would be.
Best post of the day!
>>there are adults who say to me, ‘This is the worst thing that’s happened to me in my life.
No they don’t because anyone who says that isn’t really an adult.
Are you kidding? For some of these idiots 911 was the best thing that every happened to them. Look at New York city - They overwhelmingly vote every election for the politicians who will most likely get them another 911.
These fool need to read about Lincoln getting elected. That the level of divided and hate going on right now
So this in the second time’s the Democrats have lost to a Republican and have gone to this lever of hate and treason to the new American president
It is the “worst day of their lives” if they are dependent solely on government, and it’s assorted handouts, for a living.
Obama was devastating, but, most of us just kept on living, and doing what we could to survive. We didn’t run to a shrink, or seek “safe spaces”, we just hunkered down, and made it through.
Lefties, appearing as invited guests, on national talk shows, are not exactly gutter snipes, their privilege keeps them going, so they can bitch on television.
No sympathy from me.
Was he serious or was this another “botched joke”?
Suck it up, libs.
In my view, anyone who describes Trump’s win as the worst event in their lives invites those investigating Pizzagate to give them a second look. It’s an extreme overreaction unless you have something in your closet you know a law and order president won’t tolerate.
