Don't like President Trump? Blame the DNC!

Not to rail too much about the political morass we find ourselves in at this moment in American history, no matter how you feel about President Trump his election was due in great part to the actions of the Democratic National Committee.  It was, after all, the DNC that conspired to push Hillary Clinton to the top of the primary heap, even over that dottering old socialist from Vermont.

Yes, the DNC robbed Bernie Sanders from what likely would have been a landslide victory, both of the popular vote and of the Electoral College.  If not for themselves, the blue team would certainly have won the day and we would be looking at a completely different set of political players than now adorns the White House.

It wasn’t Comey, or Putin, or Obama who upset the applecart and opened the door to the likes of Donald Trump.  It was none other than the Democratic Party itself, that so wanted another Clinton in office that they conspired against Bernie and handed Hillary Clinton so many of the “loose” super delegate votes that overcoming her was nigh on to impossible.

And yet, when they completed their nefarious dealings, they felt that they were on their way to glory.  They somehow forgot to take into consideration that the only candidate the country hated worse than Donald Trump was Hillary Clinton.

How else to explain the surprising turn of events?

It’s not hard to harken back to those polls, those dastardly polls, which showed Hillary barely beating Trump and losing to all other republican primary candidates.  Who, I ask you, repeatedly showed up mopping the White House foyer of any candidate sporting red and serving as chief mahout to the Republican emblem? None other than the esteemed septuagenarian Bernie Sanders.  Him of the new $600,000 water front home.

Really now.  While the Wikileaks email deluge was pouring throughout the campaign, why didn’t anyone take an opportunity to read what they contained?  Why else did Debbie Wasserman Schultz get canned on the night before the Democratic Convention?

And, while we are on the subject of those email, it seems to me that the biggest argument expressed about them was that they were stolen.  Not one word about them being forged, or lies, or untruths.  They were, in fact, the quintessence of non-alternate facts.

Only the doltish Donna Brazille claimed that the Russians somehow took the time to re-write her email billet-dou.  You know, the ones where she was quoted saying, “Sometimes I get questions in advance,” and “I'll send a few more.”

And so, it seems to me that this is sort of instant karma.  The DNC, so convinced that this was Hillary’s time, ignored the truth that was in their face and rejected Bernie.  Bernie, who almost certainly would have won the entire country.

The millennials loved him.  Free College, who wouldn’t love that.  Even some of us older-ennials would love to dump the Student Loans we have picked up to help our children who labor under the weight of thousands of dollars in payments for a college degree that doesn’t seem to mean as much today.

Yes, Bernie had an appeal that crossed the aisles, as the politicos are wont to say.  All along the DNC cried Hillary, when deep down inside they should have felt and heeded the Bern!

How shocking, a President who follows through

Correct me if I am wrong, but one of the main promises that President Donald J. Trump was elected for was to control borders and end illegal immigration.

Now, he was fairly elected with that as one of his main promises. So why is it that everyone is shocked that he has taken steps through Executive Order to do just that by instituting a 90-day ban on immigration from seven countries known as havens for radical Islamist terrorists?  What, exactly, is wrong with closing the barn door before the horse gets in?

The really interesting thing about all this “stuff” going on with the media is that the list of the seven evil empires was compiled by the Barack H. Obama administration.  In fact, Obama and George W. Bush both invoked similar ‘bans” during their times as president.

But the uproar over President Trump is something that goes beyond belief.  At any given time, someone has said blow up the white house, assassinate the president, fighting and riots in the streets, and have the military stage a coups.

What is wrong with people?  Did they simply forget that the democratic process, ala the United States of America, has taken place?

I suppose this is what the Democratic Party envisioned the Republican party doing had Hillary Clinton won.  They had visions of rallys gone wild and riots and anarchists destroying cars, and breaking windows, and attacking people.

But that was not what happened.  That would be alternative facts.  The facts stand that the Republican Party in some manner managed to pull of one of the biggest political upsets since Brexit.  OK, so maybe that was a cheap shot.

Still, I remember all the hubbub and complaining about Trump and whether he would accept the results of the election.  And the smug attitudes behind the question, as they felt they had the election all locked up.

Still, strange things can happen in the voting booth.  There is no one there to intimidate you; no one there calling you deplorable, or ignorant, or scum off the earth.

Even Joe Biden knew the party was in trouble when he opted to attend a Trump rally in Scranton, PA.  You know, his home stomping grounds. And what he saw there was excitement and lots of people.  People he knew and people who likely had voted for him in the past.

And he thought to himself that his party might have some problems on Election Day.

It’s only mildly ironic that just about everything anyone said about Trump has turned exactly the opposite.  They tried to kill him off during the primaries, but all their politico ammunition bounced off like a bullet on Superman.  They dug and they dug and they dug, looking for some kind of Kryptonite that could stop him.  And they nearly found it with the old Access Hollywood tape. A set up tape, something kept in the cupboard for eight years just waiting.

And they brought it out and it nearly worked.  Except that the other candidate was at least as reprehensible.

So the voters went out. And they voted. And they voted knowing that the key to the victory, at least in these United States, had to do with the Electoral College.  You know, that body of electors that was put in place in order to keep the big states and big cities from being able to run rough shod over the more rural parts of the US.

Take a good look at the electoral map.  It’s pretty easy to see why the election turned out as it did.  So stop all this nonsense.  Haul a few of the more provocative complainers, like Tim Kaine, into court to explain why they are inciting riots, and let’s get down to business.

There is much that needs to be done.
