The Dems lost, not only because their policies were unpopular, but because they overplayed their hand in 2008, against the will of the people. And from then to now, they've been paying the price for that overreach. We must not make that same mistake.
Yes, absolutely, they convinced themselves they had a "mandate" and just went too far.
The party that first recognizes that we're a split country and governs accordingly will have the most success in the long term.
Your opinion is unusual. Most of the people I've talked to in the GOP are stuck on the "mandate" thing. Good stuff.

In the real world, or in here.
In here it's all political posturing and setting narratives.
In the real world, I think people understand Trump is no ideologue...he sees problems that need solved, and I think he is going to look for solutions that everyone can live with that are also fiscally responsible. That's all I can ask for.
Both left and right are going to have to make compromises.
But here is a fact...Globalization reduces America. There is no other alternative. For wealth to flows to other countries, the tap must run from here. We are the engine of the world economy.
Our policy in the last half century has been to allow the tap to run. Other countries have risen and we have been diminished. If we continue to let the tap run, perhaps eventually, we will reach an equilibrium. But that equilibrium will mean a lower standard of living in the US, and much less power abroad.
Is it time to reduce the flow? I say yes...and a majority of Americans believe the same. That is the number one compromise the Liberals need to accept...IMO.
.. Yup, just another low class, uninformed and emotionally challenged left wing lunatic.. thanks for the laugh little boy.
