2016 Postmortem

Getting tired of it as well. The early 2000s were pretty miserable for us (Republican and GWB probably only got to hold on a little longer because of 9/11 though), but then we won and held Congress for 4 years (2007-2011) and held the WH for 8 years (2008-2016). It's also pretty rare in modern times for a party to hold the WH for more than two consecutive terms, though I really thought that this year would be an exception with Trump running on the GOP side. I simply didn't give his campaign, nor the desperate zeal by some Americans to get a WASP male back into the WH, the proper seriousness until it was too late. There WILL be more elections and Democrats WILL win again. The American public will remember and (re-)learn to hate the Republican Party all over again. The governing party is always easier to criticize and attack and gin up votes against.
