IRT Larry01: It is difficult to say it has "worked out well", for those who have not seen the salary increase, and especially for minorities. Blacks have done very poorly the last eight years. Those who have seen their insurance premiums skyrocket haven't dome well. Those who now have thousands of dollars in deductibles haven't done well.  The military is in very bad shape; that's not worked out well. Also, those who have been executed around the world because of JV ISIS haven't dome well. Finally, the last 8 years Democrats have lost over 1000 elected positions in State and Fed. Government, from majorities in Congress  to now an overwhelmingly Republican House, a majority Senate, a huge majority of Governors, and now the Presidency.  The polls all said we were headed in the wrong direction. In my mind, it's hard to say "And the last eight years worked out well". I do appreciate that you are civil, something lacking in many of the posts.
