Washington Democrats have gone from corrupt to insane. I suppose it's a natural progression since the election of Donald Trump. I'm not referring to friends of mine who are Democrats. They are fine people who simply try to make sense of it all. They struggle these days.
Instead, I'm referring to elected officials in Washington, and Democrat political wannabees around the country, who look for a post-Clinton platform on which to run. There's nothing left, except to go radical, which they are doing, and they aim to drag centrist Democrats with them.
But where are they dragging them?
Towards the cliff, it appears.
After eight years of Obama, you can't claim you want to run on his track record if you want:
... a strong economy
... GDP growth
... a powerful U.S. dollar
... border control
... peace in the Middle East
... better relations with Russia, China, or North Korea
... more employment and jobs, job, jobs
... improved consumer confidence
... Wall Street investment in the U.S. economy
... support for small businesses
... less dependence on federal welfare subsidies due to new opportunities
... deregulation
... bureaucratic efficiency
... in effect, a Trumpian view of the future.
So where do you go if you are opposed to these things? Toward the cliff, naturally.
Obama was a well-respected but very glib flop as President. I think he's probably a nice guy. I like his personality. He also dressed well and said all the politically-correct things. Problem is, that's not why he was elected, and the truth is, he accomplished little. If you disagree, please cite his successes. I genuinely would like to know. Gay marriage? Transgender bathrooms? The transcendence of divisive politics? Lower trade deficits? Peace in Egypt or Syria or Libya? The destruction of ISIS? Improvements in the black community? Or in the hispanic community? Or for the average woman? Or a decrease in problems at our southern border? Or jobs, jobs, jobs and a pay increase? Nyet.
He was always gauging the direction of the wind while deciding which way to evolve. His BS meter never took a rest. He was, if I may dub him such, our "feel good" President. He never said anything wrong, despite having done so little right.
Seriously, I'm trying to be polite, but I can't think of any Obama accomplishments that matter, other than him being a likable guy. He talked a good game, but he didn't play one. He reminds me of a high school quarterback in my day -- a coach's son -- who could drop back to pass with perfect form but couldn't get the ball anywhere near his receivers. Obama got to be the starting quarterback. He gets credit for that. And with no prior experience as a QB, which is astonishing. But beyond that, he threw nothing but incompletions aside from a few swing passes.
So, if you're a die-hard Democrat, where do you go from here? Hillary lost ... nearly two years ago. She was Obama 2.0, but without his charisma and with extraordinary flaws. Even the MSM couldn't protect her. America rejected her. It amazes me that some can't get over it. Especially the MSM.
I guess once you've taken the pink pill, recovery is not likely.
