BUMP!
As Jonathan Turley opined: Trump is transforming Democrats
EXCERPT--The remaking of the Democratic Party was most evident last week with the reaction to Trump’s decision to withdraw troops from Syria. There was a time when a sizable number of Democrats opposed undeclared wars and unending military campaigns. Now, however, Democrats are appalled that Trump would not continue a war in one of the myriad countries with U.S. troops engaged in combat operations. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called the withdrawal a “Christmas gift to Vladimir Putin,” while Sen.Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) and others called it “irresponsible” or “hasty.” Of course, this “hasty” move is occurring after seven years of intervention in the civil war, including personnel on the ground since 2012. Democrats now espouse the same lines that once were denounced during the Bush administration. (FR POSTED)
