Oh you mean during the Great Recession when Obama had to save our economy, jobs and homes from the Republican economic mess he inherited.  THAT 8 years ago?  You mean when McConnell decided to not lead or govern and became the party of obstruction in order to make Obama a one term President?  THAT 8 years ago?  Such principles from the GOP!!!!  And now, the current GOP (amply illustrated here in the DP comments) cannot stop demonizing Democrats, sound like pathetic, uneducated whiners and cannot lead their way out of a paper bag.
