You are deflecting yet again. While seemingly not good look, let readers decide. For the third and final time, basically using your own words from an earlier post in this thread, "Do you hope Trump makes America fail"?
Unlike Trump whose sole purpose is to enrich himself and his family while he does not give a shiat about the United States except as a grift while declaring our soldiers to be suckers & losers -- I beleive in making America succeed and our future potential. Any review of Trump's track record demonstrates his complete failure as a leader -- whether it is of our country or of his businesses. So do you think the first Trump term was a success for America? What makes you think his second term will be any different? Stop deflecting and answer the two point question.
The voters decided that it was or at least moreso than that of your jaundiced party, and they are who counts. Not sayin' you are not special.
"There's nothing the world hates more than somebody to say I told you so. But, I told you so." Maybe if you listen to the rest of what the guy says you'll get it. Or you can always just shove your head in the sand and make excuses.
He was, indeed, very optimistic before the election. I suspect that was mostly just his "game face" though. So, I don't think he's irrelevant. And... IMHO, his attributions for the Democrat loss seem pretty accurate to me.
