    Would you mind posting the source of this glorious progress. I keep hearing just the opposite of what you seem to be finding and my premiums keep going up - not down.

    Oh, and don't use any sources from the Obama administration.

    Two counties in California is not 'the people'. People liked Obama's policies so much that democrats lost 1030 seats during his tenure. WIN!

    Lol, geography is irrelevant. More people voted for Clinton, than trump. This is not debatable. This is demonstrable.

    Very relevant when you guys make claims about Americans rejecting Clinton, or trump winning some sort of mandate.

    She was rejected and in practical terms Trump does have a mandate.

    And then there's the real world, where she received more votes than trump. So no, she wasn't rejected and no, trump doesn't have a mandate.

    Hmmm . . . let me look around. Nope she's not president. Yep she was rejected. Can Trump pretty much do whatever he wants with the voters having deliberately given him the House and Senate? Yep . . . practical mandate.

    You mean the real world in which Trump is going to be president with effective control of the House and Senate? You do know that one of the first things that's going to happen is ObamaCare goes on the chopping block with NOTHING the Left can do to prevent it? Trump = President. His presidency = Mandate.

    After watching this, the Right sure needs a serious crash course on understanding economics, our present economic situation, and our relationships abroad, to avoid a Republican catastrophe. Following down the same trail they have been following for the last forty years, is simply not doable and will destroy the gains made in the last eight. This is a must watch video for the Right, if they truly want to see things improve; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3klabW-pptk

    Sorry, but math doesn't change because you stomp your feet. Trump is the duly elected president. The majority of voters however, didn't want him.

    And lol at Obamacare going on the chopping block.

    The critics of Trump is also wrong for the betterment of everyone.

    Trump won the presidency. Trump won the majority of states. Trump won his own mandate. California does not represent the rest of the country.

    geography isn't relevant. Trump won the electoral college, thus winning the presidency. The majority of americans, do not want trump as their president, and voted accordingly. Trump does not have a mandate, since he was not americans choice for president.

    I wish you guys could grasp basic reading comprehension. Trump won the presidency, that isn't in dispute. I am simply refuting the nonsense of americans rejecting Clinton, Obama's policies, or that trump has a mandate.

    In return, the majority of people did not vote for Clinton either. Trump has a mandate because he won.
