Trump wins GOP nomination. Village says "Thanks Obama!"
by digby
Get a load of this one:
It's the hippies fault you see. The Republicans were ever so willing to negotiate in good faith when Obama came into office and he just spit in their faces and did it his way. And now look at the result: Donald Trump. I hope he can live with himself.
Basically, the Villager logic is this: because Republicans represent Real America, when they win Democrats should enact the GOP agenda. When Democrats win, they have won with "coastal elites" who are out of touch with Real America so they should enact the GOP agenda.
*Needless to say, anyone over 5 years old remembers that Obama went out of his way to work with Republicans throughout his first term, short selling the stimulus, offering up Social Security and Medicare and extending most of the Bush tax cuts. They would have none of it and even said up front their primary goal was to make him a one term president by obstructing everything he did no matter what it was. Unfortunately for them, Democrats decided it was important to pass some health care reforms so that millions of Americans could stop going bankrupt and dying for lack of health insurance. What a bunch of assholes. Now we have Trump. Thanks Obama!
