68. Exactly! Obama trolled them even worse and left the GOP incapable of governing.

Passing Republican Health Care as Obamacare, with no GOP votes was the ultimate troll. All that is left of the GOP are the Trump Kleptocrats and the Bannon Nihilists. The only way the two sides can even cooperate is with financial assistance from the Putin Mafia. Hard to believe the Evangelicals fell in with the Kleptocrats until you realize they are used to getting ganked by Christian Right.
