    The GOP has been in total control for last two years. Why are they so mad?

    I'm guessing because of all the damage they've caused. Trump ran on no tax cuts for billionaires. How'd that work out? Dairy Farmers going under. Soy Farmers going under. Millions losing healthcare. Increasing wage gap. The US is no longer the leader of the free world. More jobs, sure...
