Democrats have now completed two years that are concrete evidence that they have "no" platform to support the "will" of the people of our country. Since their "plans" failed to "prevent" the election of President Trump as the President of the United States, they have now seen that the" progress" that has been made under his leadership will result in his "reelection" as President in 2020. Therefore, their only "recourse" for them is to spend the next two years, along with the help of the "fake news media", to use every means possible to destroy President Trump. If Mr. Mueller and his special counsel of sixteen Democratic lawyers who have spent millions of taxpayer dollars over more than two years and have yet to prove Russia collusion in the 2016 election, what can you expect from the group of "looney tunes" who have just been elected to Congress? I have never seen anything more "embarassing" than to think that this "new" group of Congress men and women that I have witnessed over the last two days are the "representatives" of my input to a "Democratic Government". The sooner President Trump can build the "wall or fence" the sooner we can start to work on the "circus" that just arrived in Washington". I am seventy-eight years old and I never thought I would see the day that the "dreams" of our forefathers would reach this "dismal" day. I just saw Hillary's statement repeated that said that, "Civilityy starts by electing Democrats".

"I never thought I would see the day that the "dreams" of our forefathers would reach this "dismal" day." You have a short memory. We reached that "dismal" day on January 17, 2017.

Which of the dozen or more beneficial changes that President Trump has been able to provide during his first two years in office do you disagree with? Likewise, list any beneficial changes that you believe the Democrats have provided during the same two years. I have seen nothing but "obstructionism" from their side of the fence.

"I have seen nothing but "obstructionism" from their side of the fence."

What did you see from the Right when Obama was president?  Nothing more..nothing less. So, it is time you looked into the mirror before you keep asking the same questions.

The next 2 years should be interesting.

My source tells me the majority are Yankee or Dodger fans and are heading to New York or L.A. Nothing to do with capitalism or socialism.

Did you happen to notice any ''obstruction'' from your side of the fence between 2009 and 2016?  Just wondering?

The bottom line...if it is someone opposing what you happen to support it is ''obstructionism'' but it it is someone opposing what you also oppose it is ''wisdom''!  The reality...it is usually just an honest difference of opinion.

Both you and Architect are quick to respond to the word "obstruction", but after several requests neither of you have been willing to provide any notable accomplishments by Democrats during the last two years. Apparently you don't think your party has done anything worth talking about.

Buteye, you can expand your point (and question) by extending your time from two years to ten years.  What have the dimokraps accomplished over the past ten years?  Quick answer:  NOTHING!!.......but let's see the list of accomplishments dimokraps.

Two quick answers to your questions.  On Obamacare you will have to wait until you meet your eternal reward to ask John McCain why no repeal.  My belief is that had he not suffered from TDS he would have done what he said he would do numerous times, vote for the repeal of Obamadon'tcare (the name my 26-year old son gave it).  On the wall, this will be a bit of a civics lesson for you so be patient.  The House did in fact pass a budget with $5B for construction of the wall.  However, in the Senate in order to pass a budget you have to first get to cloture which requires 60 votes.  Cloture allows the Senate to move a bill to the floor where it can be voted on and where majority is all that is needed to pass it.  That the Senate could not get a bill to cloture is a result of Democrats refusing to advance the bill to the floor for a vote.  

So the answer to point one is John McCain and the answer to point two is Democrat Senators.  I like your name.

I dont actually need a civics lesson. Repugnicans seem unwilling to accept responsibility for anything - always someone else’s fault. 

I missed the list of the accomplishments of this administration. Dozens I think?

Oh my, so not only are you another left wing nut that resorts to calling people names but you have a reading comprehension problem.  You see, John McCain was a Republican.  The repeal didn't happen because he voted against it. Duh!  And if you didn't need a civics lesson you shouldn't have asked such an obvious question about the funding of a border wall.  Even more amusing is the fact that the now Democrat controlled House is the only thing in the way of funding the wall.

As for accomplishments of Trump, I can only suggest you look at the economy over the last two years, employment levels, the squashing of ISIS, restoration of defense spending, raises for the military, reining in an out of control EPA, energy independence and so on.  But hey, if you don't understand the basics of how government works I suspect there is no hope for you to comprehend something like black, Hispanic and Asian unemployment at record lows, real wages rising for the first time in a decade, etc.  Heck, even the Fed realizes how great the economy is under President Trump which is why they are raising rates.  Under Obama they had to continue with QE just to prop up the worst recovery in since the Great Depression.

As a final note, it's kind of sad that you couldn't even come up with your own Forum name and had to imitate mine.  They say imitation is sincerest form of flattery and I am blushing that you wanted to imitate my monicker.
