The Air Comes Out of the Anti-Trump Balloon

In January of this year, President Trump’s critics were marching in the streets because they believed he was about to go full-Hitler. Or maybe he was just crazy, and about to do something dangerously stupid.
Today their biggest complaint is that President Trump hasn’t shared his tax returns with the public.
How’s everything else looking?
The economy? Looking good.
North Korea? Looks like China is on our side. Good sign.
Syria? Those Tomahawk missiles were downright “Presidential”
Illegal Immigration? Already down 70% from Trump’s persuasion alone.
Supreme Court? Gorsuch is respected and qualified, even if you don’t like his ways.
Healthcare? No one said it would be easy, but the focus and energy are in place to get something done eventually.
Tax reform? Too slow for the country’s taste, but observers expect something good to come out of it. That’s why business optimism is high.
Climate change? Anecdotally, it seems to me that the debate has evolved from mindless bullying of non-believers to a lower confidence in both the climate models and the economic models (which are not science). That seems like a step toward clarity.
Generally speaking, if your critics are reduced to complaining about what might be in your tax returns, you already won.

The tax whiners are the same crowd that has been howling since day one.
I think people are tired of their constant sniveling.

Wounded...mentally ill..?
Few people are going to be persuaded if the Rats continue to act like the crazy uncle who rants and raves constantly. And there aren’t any Democrat Party leaders with the stature to unify and organize them into anything coherent or persuasive. Fauxahauntas and Bernie? Heck, they’re driving the crazy train!

Running out of air or running short on Soros money? Even he has to have concerns about getting such paltry from his ‘investments’.

Sooner or later even the activist MSM will get tired of their own fake news. How many times can Scott Pelley besmirch, belittle and put down Trump in one newscast.

Interesting comment about Gorsuch. I think he’s a snob but whatever it’s his decisions that count.

"In January of this year, President Trump’s critics were marching in the streets because they believed he was about to go full-Hitler.

No, the snowflakes and other mouth-breathing leftists were marching in the street because they're afflicted with Reality Defiance Disorder.

The Rats are failing at their Never Trump efforts because of the effectiveness of the GOPe in stopping the President's agenda.

So black lifes only matter, if the killer is not black. That is about as racist as a person could possibly ever get.

Failure on my part. My question is actually a line from a Statler Brothers song: “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO RANDOLPH SCOTT?”. For those who’ve never had the pleasure, here’s a link to it, in a Youtube video.

I got your reference when I saw your post, meaning I am old enough to remember the song.
