Ah, I getcha. I'd say only slowed down in 08...and stopped, but in so doing set loose, in 16.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You're probably not old enough to know that tune, since it was released in '74.
Only ten years before I hatched.
Well, sheeeit, I'm almost old enough to be your grampa! I was 22 when that song came out.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Yeah, he'll go down as one of the greats despite being the Deporter in Chief, presiding over a deadlocked government, and our first (i'm guessing not last) Drone Warlord. The bar...honestly, wasn't all that high. 
The last bastion of the guilty is -always- an appeal to hypocrisy.
I feel ya, I was sick of it before it began. Nothing since has surprised me in the least. I knew why the trumpsters went the way they did, I knew what the trumpster himself hoped to do, and I knew that no silly little laws or notions of patriotism stood in the way of either of those things from either of those two parties. This whole thing was telegraphed.
A common line I hear from the GOP is that they are patriots. They brag about it all the time.
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Of course the big irony about Trump's Russia thing is that what's probably going to kill his presidency (and quite possibly the Republitraitor party too) is collusion which did two things for his chances of winning the election Jack and Shit. The Republitraitors had already decided to remove at least 10,000,000 voters from the the system, either because they had the same first an last name as somebody else (affecting minorities), didn't have a state mandated voter ID deemed unconstitutional (affecting minorities and students), were poor city dwellers (affecting minorities) and in the end when even mass racist disenfranchisement wasn't enough, by junking thens of thousands of votes (probably close to a million but we've only Michigan's 75,000) which had ticked the box marked Hillary Clinton.
