And then...within a week...it was all "anti-Trump" as The Washington Post began it's never-ending every-day "stories" about Trump and his team.
Some of them had a ring of truth. Some didn't. None were retracted or followed up on.
And the Democrat politicians jumped like trained dogs and forgot all about the things they said the day after the election when the data of all those Democrats in the rust belt voting for Trump came in.

I'm amazed that they can't see it. But like I said earlier, sometimes when you are too close to a situation you just can't see what the real problem is.
That is exactly what the Republicans did the entire 8 years of Obama.

And the Republican voters got sick and tired of their shit and voted for Trump even as every Republican "leader" and politician were denouncing Trump and calling him a "cancer" on "conservatism".

Surprise! The voters don't give a shit about "liberalism" or "conservatism". They just want politicians to stop ripping them off and talking like robots.

We've all voted over and over in our lifetimes for "change".
And guess what? NOTHING ever changed.

The Democrat Party needs to realize that this is a "revolution" of sorts.
Working men and women are sick and tired of the bullshit.

Trump on the campaign trail talking about "the forgotten man" and speaking about how easy it was for him to buy and sell politicians and how "stupid" the trade deals that have hurt our country are...that was the kind of plain talk that echoed what so many of us have thought and felt for years.

When people were interviewed during the election, the number one thing they said about Trump was the he was saying what they had been thinking.

Whether you like or hate Trump...he tapped into that.
And what he tapped into was formerly the stronghold of the Democrat Party.

I think they are going to be shocked once again in 2018 when after all of this "scandal" being "reported" by the Washington Post and all of CNN"s negative coverage comes around and bites them on the ass again.
This is the same exact thing that won the election for Trump in the first place.

Going on and on and on with "Russia" isn't going to win one Democrat even one vote.

Get a guy out there talking jobs, trade, making the country great and having a clear vision of how he wants to do it?
That's what Trump did.

And that's what the Democrat's need.

I think it's going to take losing again in 2018 and being "surprised" again for the Democrats to wake the fuck up.

They have lost their power base of the blue collar worker. And it turns out that the illegal immigrant vote, the black vote, the gay vote, and the welfare vote weren't really that strong after all.
