(Emphases mine)
He hates pretty much everything
What a sniveling, despicable, pathetic piece of work
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

"We Must Apologize to the Democratic Party" (from redstate.com)
=snip=
Ever since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the Republican Party has campaigned on, championed, raised money over the cause of repealing it. You need to give us the House of Representatives, they told us, and we will fix this mess. And so, in 2010, we gave them the House.
And they said theyd do it, and they tried, and then they told us You need to give us the Senate, too, then we can really fix it. So, we did give them the Senate in 2014.
And they passed repeal after repeal, which was promptly vetoed with no possibility of override. You need to give us the White House, they said. Thatll make it a reality. And, in 2016, the United States gave Donald Trump the White House, and kept the Republicans in power in Congress.
The whole time leading up to this point, however, the Democrats mocked and derided the Republicans. You have no plan to replace it, to reform the system, to fix the mess they cried. And, we ignored them, because we had ideas, you see, and we had people pushing those ideas.
So, months after Donald Trump takes office, the Republican leadership in the House presents a bill to the American public, and the response was nothing short of disastrous. You see, the Democrats were right all along. We, very clearly, had no plan.
