After which 21st century election cycle did you feel happiest?

[100% pro-life no matter what]

I'm going to say 2014.  It was a Republican domination at all levels, and a huge pro-life constitutional amendment that I'd personally campaigned for passed in Tennessee (despite being BADLY outfunded).  It was also a really good night for me personally, with where I was in life.

2016 is the other obvious contender, but there was still some level of lingering disappointment that it wasn't a different Republican.  There was something special about it both being the only time I can remember a Republican trifecta being elected and about the element of surprise in the win, though.

2012 was the only Election Night that I can remember that actually went worse than my expectations.  But, that was because I allowed myself to only believe Gallup and Rasmussen polls (as 16 year old me knew no better).
