This is exactly what cannot be calculated when someone people have the discussion of why the "minority" are so depressed and disappointed. It's not just about the course of the country. It's the fact that this faction has a track record of gloating and cheap shotting. I don't ever recall this behavior when Clinton was elected, whereas the Republicans have been doing this since taking the majority in 96.

When do you hear a Democratic President begin his 'healing' and 'uniting' speech with "I have the will of the people"???
