[ It is now a municipal party. It has no real power over the federal government or state houses. Its once feared cudgel of race/class/gender invective has become a false wolf call heard one too many times. The Sanders-Warren branch of the party, along with the now discredited Clinton strays, will hover over the party’s carcass. Meanwhile, President Obama will likely ride off into the sunset to a lucrative globe-trotting ex-presidency. His executive orders will systematically be dismantled by Donald Trump, leaving as his legacy a polarizing electoral formula that had a shelf life of just two terms. ]
Time to start weeding out municipal control as well.
Exactly.
Interesting that he left out 1996. I like Bob Dole but he also lost too magnanimously.
“Do you hear the people sing”?
[ In the aftermath of defeat, where goes the Democratic Party?
It is now a municipal party. It has no real power over the federal government or state houses.
A municipal party.
A party to manage cities. ]
Which is where 98% of all the forthcoming trouble in the next few months will be centered; it is not a coincidence (not that you said that, just sayin’.)
True, but I have always believed that is where the real voter fraud is. So easy to do on a smaller scale, and such a huge return on investment for the cheating bastards.
Give democrats credit for being sore losers, republicans have become the experts at the proud, sad concession speech on election night.
Hanson’s got his mind right now, I think. A lot of us figured early that Trump was the only one of the pack who could win, confirmed by the primaries and then last Tuesday.
I was very disappointed a while back to read that humor writer PJ O’Rourke said he was voting for Clinton. I suppose the National Lampoon lefty in him finally came out. His books were sucking anyway.
He’s dead to me, along with a lot of other cucks. Trump flushed them out.
Why Trump WonNo thanks to Victor Davis Hanson and other elitist establishment hacks at the Hoover institute including Thomas Sowell.
I like VDH but have grown a little tired of his standing in aloof judgment over Trump’s “crudity”. He treats Trump like a tragic symptom of our national mess when in fact it’s a near miracle that Trump came along when he did. VDH should be thanking his lucky stars like the rest of us but instead he observes and judges from up in the professorial clouds.
My favorite headline…
Hanson may be too optimistic. Only time will tell if this is really a turning point away from divisive identity politics rather tha a temporary reprieve.
More like a party to MIS manage cities based on their record to date.
He seemed to get it in some of his cartoons, but that was what surprised me. His vote while somewhat surprising because his cartoons seemed to evidence a grasp of the issues, none the less didn’t come as a big shock.
There is this isolated community that many of these folks circulate in, that controls them. They honestly can’t grasp that they are a small group misleading tens of millions.
I would suggest his cartoons opened some eyes, and I guess we will have to be satisfied with that.
The democrat party owns the federal court system. They own the culture. They own the federal regulatory apparatus. And they own academia. Any belief that the democrat party is a municipal party is a pipe dream. They are an alliance of people that hate America, revile the constitution, and want all people who are patriots or simply don’t agree with them, persecuted unto death. The key to initiating repair of the damage done by the dims over the last century lies in the elimination of the filibuster and a willingness to discipline the federal judiciary. With due respect to VDH, and I have great respect for him, this editorial is ultimately delusional.
Did you intend to post this on another thread?
I just read this article. I don’t think it’s so great.
The ongoing analysis here, in FR, by many, many posters (and I do NOT include myself) is collectively about 3 orders of magnitude more accurate, more in-depth, more comprehensive, and more comprehensible than this piece by Hanson.
