That is the reason for the last election outcome. Give us a break. Let us catch up a bit. Then you will again have your turn.

I'll let others pick apart your denigration of education and your misunderstandings about trade, immigration and jobs.

'Catch up'? Notwithstanding your lame attempt at false equivalence with Clinton's morality, there's no way to catch up with the sweeping amorality, self dealing, willful ignorance and bigotry of the current president. No thanks.

As for the LAST election outcome?

Despite President Donald Trump’s claim of a tremendous victory in this month’s midterm elections, Democrats pulled off the biggest midterm victory in the country’s history by claiming 8.8 million more votes than Republicans in House races, according to popular vote results from the Cook Political Report.

Democrats earned over 59.2 million votes in House contests and Republicans 50.3 million votes as the former flipped 38 House seats around the country, Cook Political Report editor Dave Wasserman said. The difference proved to be the biggest popular vote difference for either party in the country’s history.

Republicans earned 45.2 percent of the overall vote in House races and Democrats 53.1 percent.

“Dems' national lead in raw House votes - now 8.8 million - just broke the record for largest for either party in the history of midterm elections (previous record was 8.7 million set by Dems in 1974)” Wasserman tweeted.

We got tired of dealing with those that think they know what is best for everyone.

Good! Keep killing yourselves in MI since you obviously know best. Now go take your opioids like a good little soldier of the cult.

Why are people in the United States so unhappy?

World Happiness Report 2018: See the world's 18 happiest countries

Want to be happy? The Nordic nations seem to have it all figured out.

The cold countries of northern Europe again dominated the annual World Happiness Report, released March 14. Finland ranked as the happiest country in the 2018 report, followed by Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.

Published by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, the rankings are based on people's assessments of their well-being in Gallup World Poll surveys. The top nations, the report says, "tend to have high values for all six of the key variables that have been found to support well-being: income, healthy life expectancy, social support, freedom, trust and generosity."

Check out the top 18 of the 156 countries below — and see where the United States turns up.

1. Finland
2. Norway
3. Denmark
4. Iceland
5. Switzerland
6. The Netherlands
7. Canada
8. New Zealand
9. Sweden
10. Australia
11. Israel
12. Austria
13. Costa Rica
14. Ireland
15. Germany
16. Belgium
17. Luxembourg
18. United States

The United States has never made the top 10 in the happiness rankings, and this year it slid from 14th to 18th.

Report co-editor Jeffrey D. Sachs writes that "America’s subjective well-being is being systematically undermined by three interrelated epidemic diseases": obesity, substance abuse and depression.

"The U.S. is in the midst of a complex and worsening public-health crisis, involving epidemics of obesity, opioid addiction, and major depressive disorder that are all remarkable by global standards," writes Sachs, who is the Sustainable Development Solutions Network's director and a professor at Columbia University.

Now you know how women feel when a bunch of old men think they should interfere with a woman’s right to choose.
