There was nothing principled about Mr. Obama's mad push to violate our civil rights.
And no. It destroyed his second term. Presidents have a limited amount of political capital to spend every term. By wasting all of his political capital in pointless attacks against the NRA, he prevented himself from having any second-term legislative victories.
That wasteland of a second term is entirely down to him wasting all of his political capital in pointless tantrums about the NRA.

Conservatives are doing just fine. Mr. Trump will be a two-term president. The Republicans will hold the White House for the three subsequent terms as well, ensuring that Mr. Trump's legacy will be carried out.
When the Democrats finally do manage to return to power (which will not happen any sooner than 20 years), it will only be after they purge their party of liberalism and nominate a "Trump-lite" (sort of like how Bill Clinton was a "Reagan-lite").
In short, the first half of the 21st century belongs to Mr. Trump and the Republicans.

I find the mean-spiritedness of a lot of liberals to be pretty tedious (I don't mean you here). Overall I'm glad to be a witness to the end of this demented ideology, but the sooner it's over the better.
