For Democrats, There Is No Joy - Mighty Hillary Has Struck Out
The Coach's Team ^ | 1/19/17 | Peggy Ryan

I tried to write a piece about Meryl Streep’s screed and the ongoing war against a legitimately elected President but I couldn’t make it work, my heart wasn’t in it. Then it hit me, what the hell am I doing? Why am I still revisiting all the horrors of a failed Hillary Clinton campaign? Why even acknowledge her whining supporters, her DOA Democrat party?

For God’s sake, it's a new day, we won, ding dong the witch is dead, David kicked Goliath’s butt, its time to pop the champagne cork, not rehash the past.

But why was I going to such a dark place to begin with? The answer lies with the hysterical, suicidal reaction from the left that their woman lost. This loss pierced their hearts, drained their energy, blackened their future. Hillary Clinton was the left’s hero destined to save the day. She had a lock on the Presidency thanks to her overflowing war chest, political connections, loyal media and the mantle of the first woman President. They were—or should have been--insurmountable advantages.

Yet she lost. The left blames the FBI, Russia and voter suppression. But in the end, it was Hillary Clinton, their hero, who let them down.

Then I thought of Casey at the Bat, the story of another legend, a hero trusted to bring it home. I reread the poem and was immediately struck by the parallels between Mudville’s savior, Casey, and the Democrat’s savior, Hillary Clinton.

The poem Casey at the Bat, tells of a baseball team, the Mudville Nine, and their dwindling chances in an ongoing game. The score was four to two in the eighth inning with two outs. It looked hopeless and the fans were frantic that their idol, the mighty Casey, would be denied his...

We are still interested to see any stumbles, falls, collapses or crazy eyes when she takes her place at the Inauguration, however.

Went to a Pittsburgh Pirates game years ago where they got down early to San Diego by a bunch of runs.

They clawed their way back to tie the game in the 9th.
They had bases loaded with two men out, and the pitcher due up.

They called the last guy off their bench. Trey Beamon, a minor-league outfielder who had just been called up, and who was batting .051 at the major league level.

Three quick strikes and we all went home.

THAT is a better analogy of Hilary’s campaign.

Not only struck out, but ejected from the game.

My personal favourite is the head bob. Maybe Rascal Flatts will be there and she can get up on stage with them! Bob that head!

They should all be happy that Hillary is not in prison.

Did Andy Card call an MSNBC snowflake 'rude' today? Are we all getting sick of leftists and their unending drama queen routines?

I mean THEY LOST. THEY NEED TO GET WITH REALITY, JUST LIKE WE DID WHEN WE LOST TO OBAMA.

After he struck out, I don’t think the The Mighty Casey got sh*t-faced drunk, went on a 6 to 8 hour crying/screaming jag and then refused to face his heartbroken fans when he should have.

Hillary’s cowardly drunken meltdown on election night, followed by her hours of tantrums and refusal to make a concession speech were epic, historic, and poetry-worthy. :0)
