When the media decided they would criticize every single thing Trump does, no matter what it might be, they gave him carte blanche. Why even try to do what the left and media wants if you’re going to be ripped apart for doing it? Might as well do what you want and what’s right since the howling will be the same either way.

Americans no longer share a common ideology.

The ideology of the Left is an invader. It is atheistic to its core and seeks to reduce everyone to poverty except the dictatorial government elite.

If folks haven't seen this video yet, they need to.

This guy nails Lewis to the wall.  He spreads the pain to the Democrat party as a whole too.  This is an exceptional video segment.

To me, all these events were perfectly predictable. Basically, we are in a war. They will do their best to deny any legitimacy to Trump. It will go on. His legitimacy will be challenged again and again, even though it may take different forms.

I just hope that their blind rage will blind their judgment, becoming more radical, alienating more supporters and politically isolated. Things may look bad, but they also present opportunities in which Trump can easily outmaneuver them.

Let them continue trying. Gives Trump more incentive to bulldoze the leftists’ agenda.

They will do this because if Trump’s numbers go down he’ll have little political capital to pass his agenda.

Sadly the GOP-e will be more than willing to go their own way and box Trump out to suit themselves.

They’re already doing it.

The Coloured people sure like "impo'ent" names to call themselves: "Icon," "Mogul" "Diva"

I have yet to see one article that did not refer to Lewis as an "icon."

I have lots of icon on my Smart phone. I don't recall seeing any of Lewis.

I suppose it’s easier for Dems to try to point a finger at Trump over something-anything-nothing, rather than explaining to America why the Dem party actively conspired to rig their very own primary....

Smokescreens, strawmen and deception have always been the trademark of “Progressives”.

That’s an odd article. It reads well until the last two paragraphs where it gets into a tailspin and finally just crashes into a heap of incomprehensible closing.

This article while seemingly criticizing the democrats for delegitimizing is in reality if you read it, is blaming the President elect by saying the attacks were brought on

by his actions and speeches during the campaign.

These two writers are saying that The President elect should not be dumb fall for the bait but handle the likes of the great Icon of civil rights John Lewis as George Bush did when he did the same thing to him by refusing to recognize him and even tried to start an impeachment against him by giving Lewis a special honor and saying great things about him.

Well ,Bush rolled over and turned the other cheek, like the spineless republicans have been doing for years and what do you get?. More of the same here's Lewis doing the same thing with this elected by the real people President.

they also say that you can't just treat the great Meryl Streep as just another ordinary liberal.

"That’s not merely another Hollywood liberal taking a potshot at a Republican. Streep is a prominent Democratic activist who spoke at the party’s Philadelphia nominating convention on behalf of Hillary Clinton."

You need to read the whole article.

If these two writers are supposed to be writing a conservative article and are supposed to be conservatives they both need to take a real good cleansing product.

Lewis was hardly the only prominent Democrat who had trouble accepting the new president after the 2000 election was finally decided.

But they have no problem expecting us to accept the election with the roles are reversed.

What hypocrites.

Whether Trump does another thing in his entire life, he’s already accomplished a great feat. He’s exposed Liberals and their media as the pond scum they really are.

The article is mis-titled. It does not really show the danger of de-legitimizing President Trump.

Trump will make his own record as President. He will overcome democrat's fake news.

But the interesting point is that BOTH RUSSIA AND THE DEMOCRATS attempted to subvert the election with misinformation. If you thought democrats were "better than that" you are dead wrong. The CIA is no better than it's Russian counterpart. It may be time to revise the way we make "intelligence"for the sake of American values.

The danger in fake news is that the attempt to subvert the election results using intelligence dirty tricks will be America's CIA heritage for years to come. Sad.

Midterm Senate Map a Democrat Nightmare
Democrats may be in for long drought, facing slew of 2018 contests in deep red states

Despite near-instant media prognostications the GOP could lose its slim majority in the U.S. Senate come the 2018 midterm elections, it is actually Democrats who face an uphill climb.

There is no danger for Democrats.

Their attempts at delegitimizing Mr. Trump’s presidency brings them closer to undermining completely the foundations of the United States and making the leftist revolution a reality.

IMHO
