We're rightfully outraged because McConnell refused to hold a vote on Obama's moderate nominee,

Guess you shouldn't have lost the Senate then.

Trump won narrowly in the electoral college (he lost the popular vote by 3 million),

So what popular vote never mattered.

You can keep voting single issue if you want (I sort of agree with you that gun control shouldn't be what dems run on), but that doesn't change the facts that the GOP's economic policies are ballooning the deficit to disastrous levels,

Now you care about a budget? Yeah, I don't like our current healthcare system but I damn sure didn't the ACA. The dems had their chance to pass universal and they didn't.

Truth be told I never expect the Reps to repeal it anyways. The Mccain vote was excellent political theater. But there will always be a Mccain or Liberman to "mess stuff up".

our international image is tanking as the administration guts the state department.

I was over in worldnews and a poster was crapping on the USA for not backing the Ukraine. Britain, France and I think Germany also said they'd back them for the nukes thing. What has Europe done? And that's my point. The poster wants the USA to come in. It's in Europe. Fix your own mess man. It will be good for everyone.
