Of coarse they didn’t, they’re completely clueless as to what the American people want.

“Look, I didn’t expect Donald Trump to win, I think most of my colleagues didn’t, so we didn’t expect want to be in this situation,”

Fixed.

They didn’t prepare for a Trump win because they themselves were actively obstructing it, too. Just as we’ve always suspected, these cretins actually prefer to be out of power so they can play conservative without consequence.

“Bazooka in my pocket,” LOL! Not even a squirt gun.

The passion of Obama’s and Trump’s voter bases was evident in their respective signs. I saw homemade Obama and homemade Trump signs. I never saw homemade McCain, Romney or Hillary signs.

Hillary got many GOP ‘never Trumper votes’, as they gleefully announced on election night!

Stupid? Perhaps. Corrupt? Absolutely. They were expecting Hillary! to win so that their personal gravy train would keep on truckin', and they wouldn't have to lift a finger to change things. Then they could go back to their constituents and say "just give us a Republican President and we'll be able to fix things - we promise!"


Unfortunately for them, Trump (with the grace of Almighty God), won. The GOPe cursed the darkness.

At least Toomey had the guts to go on the record.

I warned [about] the Republicans’ power to impose their will no matter what Democrats did to fight or obstruct them.

Don't worry. The GOPe is blocking it.

[“Look, I didn’t expect Donald Trump to win, I think most of my colleagues didn’t, so we didn’t expect to be in this situation,” the Pennsylvania Republican said Wednesday night during a meeting with voters hosted by four ABC affiliates across his state.]

Toomey turned out to be a real GOPe a**hole.

So these idiots were looking forward to a Clinton win and a uniparty Congress where everyone stuffed their pockets toward the status quo.

The GOP is useless.

Anyone who didn’t think Trump would win in the primaries and in November had to believe that Americans either didn’t notice that the country was being dismantled and was being invaded by Mexicans and Muslims—or that they were fine with it. (And Republicans finally caught on that the dismantling of America was promoted by every President starting with GHW Bush.)

Hillary stole six states, and tried to steal five others. She failed because Trump won in a landslide. We will soon know for sure that Trump won the popular vote.

Another example of the stupidity of some elected Republicans. Why would they ever discuss anything with the hostile MSM? Do they think the “jounalist” is going to quote them in a favorable manner. New York Magazine is a worthless leftist propaganda outfit.

France didn’t expect Hitler to invade through the Ardennes.
Britain didn’t expect the trouble at Suez to become a big deal.
The Shah wasn’t expecting Khomeinei to succeed in the overthrow.

You don’t want politicians who are taken so unawares. Anyone can be surprised. There is no defense against that. But do something. React. Adapt. Overcome.

Trump would be able to handle this. The Democrats? Obviously not.

Thank you for saving me the time to point that out. I’m hoping for a record-breaking number of Weasels being Cantorized come next year.

Is this also why they have to no health care plan?

It sounds like a great excuse for getting NOTHING done. Isn’t there an adult in the room?

This tells you exactly which side they are on. Their cards have been exposed.

This essentially proves that the elected Republican party is out of touch with its base.
