By all logic, Republicans should have won this general election handily.  2-term democrat leaving office, huge groundswell of vitriol in the party base against his policies, massively unpopular and savagely investigated/harassed dem candidate running against them, and plenty of capable candidates to choose from should've made this relatively easy.  Kasich would have likely walked into the White House without much trouble.  But no.  They pick a guy because he runs his mouth a lot and says the mean shit that they wish they could without being labeled as a racist/sexist pariah.  Good plan, guys!   

Now the dems will get to put 2 or 3 more justices on SCOTUS, thus locking it up for the next 25 years, perhaps more.  That alone should be enough to make any Republican's stomach turn.  The McConnell holdout on Garland will effectively blow up in his and Senate Republican's faces when Hillary likely nominates an even more liberal replacement.  

I hope a chance to vent frustrations was worth it to them.  It's going to wind up being a very expensive temper tantrum when the final bill comes on the 8th.

I dont know if Kasich would have because you cant underestimate the Clinton political machine and the lengths they will go to ensure a victory.  But the last two Republican nominees would probably win with ease against her, and rightfully so. But I agree, as I think the Republican voters in the primaries that voted for Trump have no one to blame but themselves for making that amateur political clown as their nominee. I am a moderate that tends to lean right on a few things, left on others. And it just makes me want to hurl pretty much knowing Hillary ****ing Clinton will be the President. This country doesnt her socialistic policies with the amount of debt we are in, a crumbling infrastructure, Obamacare hurting the middle class more and more (as Bill Clinton recently said), bringing in 100 of thousands of refugees yearly which is just nuts, trade policies and so-on. 

Maybe years from now the moderates will take over the country, and the liberal leftist socialists like her and Bernie will fade away with the ultra conservative right-wing nutjobs. I can only hope.
