If it wasn't for SarUH Palin, we would have likely had McCain and never recovered.

Of course, if it wasn't for SarUH Palin rolling her snowball down Mount Hatred, the current occupant would be a mere asterisk.

America DID fuck up THIS BADLY. Trump voters and non-voters fractured this country and woke a sleeping giant.

When their current choice for president makes you nostalgic for G.W. Bush, it puts it all in perspective.

Each of their Recessions are worse than the predecessor.

Seems since GHWB, each of their presidents are also.

Its not just ideology but his psychological instability than make him such a danger to national security and the world. He's managed to alienate two of America's closest allies in just a few days.

(BTW, He's still bad, but now Trump is....more badder.)

And I'd trade for him in a second.

The GOP 2016 Klown Kar Klub also made him look good. I think that just shows the downward arc of the Republican Party.
