The biggest difference between the perpetual Obama butthurt and anger towards trump is that Obama gave almost no reason to be angry at him and trump gives almost no reason to not be angry at him

I think a president Romney might have generated a lot of irrational liberal butthurt. Or even a president Jeb!. You have to be irrational to support Donald, though.

If I wanted to achieve sweeping conservative reforms I would be mad at Trump because the only bright spot is his postential to remake the Court. Other than that he has been a disaster, he hasn't achieved anything.

I don't get why evangelicals aren't pushing for impeachment. It has to be frustrating to have their guy right there, not able to do anything, getting mocked for praying...

First "his potential to remake the Court" is a big deal. Like, the SINGLE BIGGEST deal of them all. I'm not sure how many people understand this. It makes up for a lot of disappointment.

Second, you are correct that Trump has otherwise been remarkably ineffective (if you discount booming consumer confidence and markets, and rolling back at least some of Obama's onerous environmental and labor regs), but this is more a problem with the horribly incompetent and corrupt GOP congress. Could Trump do a better job of leading the congress? Maybe, but doubtful. I don't think there was ever a chance of bringing senators like McCain and Collins around.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

The idiocy of claiming economic growth as your own after 9 months in office and no changes made is pretty much the biggest LOL...like the single biggest LOL

I think there is a case that some Republican Senators aren't persuadable, but it is very easy to make the case that Trump could be doing a better job of leading the Congress.  Come on.

#Silverback is accurately taking credit for increases in consumer confidence, rising stock market, and lowering unemployment, however these good things have happened in expectation of his platform being implemented.  For this success to stick in its entirety and grow further the congress will have to pass his tax bill, repeal ocare, build a wall, etc.  Without these things the economy could slow and markets could fall back.
it’s not like I’m tired of WINNING, but dude, let me catch my breath.

A lot of investment money sat on the sidelines during the Obama years fearing what policy he might institute and already implemented.  Trumps platform gave investors confidence to risk their money again.
Sad but true.

and lowering unemployment

also been improving throughout Obama term...although this is a fake number according to Trump

Everyone must have had these expectations as far back as 2012 knowing Trump was on his way. 

It's just so effing dumb to claim these economic numbers are all Trump's doing given what was already going on. ...just like it's dumb for Obama to claim all those good numbers just because they happened during his term....he got the bar lowered by so much at the beginning of his term, it was impossible to not have the economy improve under his watch.

I'm surprised at how delusional the libtards remain about obama. He was completely ineffective with supermajorities in congress, and his stupidity and political naivete disempowered the democrats at warp speed. You really think that pencil necked social worker was cool??? :lol:

Crediting him or his administration with anything positive about the economy is laughable and completely unfounded.

He passed the ACA, correct?  That’s a pretty significant piece of legislation.  Whether you like it or not he passed a major bill, something Trump hasn’t, won’t, or ever do.  The reason?  Trump is a complete rough ridin' idiot who wrote a book about a complete lie, The art of the deal.  There is no deal.

Trump has complete party control of every form of government and hasn’t done a rough ridin' thing.  I always knew you had a small IQ but square root and  it has an ‘i’ appended after it.

The amazing thing is Trump absolutely despises cucks who think they will realize some material benefit from Trump, but in the end will get nothing except more resentment. Trump doesn't care about the troops, he thinks religious people are rubes to be mocked, he doesn't care about almost all of the issues that most republicans hold dear. But liberal tears and tweeting at people are enough for most of the nihilists on here and probably enough for America.
