Exactly. Obama got exactly what he deserved for buckling to the Insurance Corporations and introducing a republican health care policy which nobody wanted in the first place other than the corporations.
The Democrats also got what they deserved for screwing over their best candidate Sanders, for the establishment shill, and Obama got what he deserved for 8 years of weakness, and pandering to his donors and enemies, by allowing his successor to be Trump. That will be his real legacy. An empty corporate suit with charm who gave us Trump.
Its so ironic that the party responsible for the terrible state of the country, now has complete control of the government and soon the Supreme Court for the first time since the 1920s.
The Democrats despite being on the right side of public sentiment in terms of policy, paid for being too weak and sucking up to their corporate donors, and have rightly been wiped out. Hopefully they now learn their lesson and rebuild with someone like Elizbaeth Warren, who would have wiped the floor with Trump.
I have no sympathy for there spineless morons. The republicans should be wiped out yet now they hold all the power.
