If you want to understand why Donald Trump is president today (and why he could very well win a second term), look to the Democrats' hysterical response to two of Trump's major foreign policy achievements over the past week.
Last Thursday, the president traveled to Joint Base Andrews to greet three American hostages whose release he had secured from North Korea. Unlike his predecessor, Trump did it without sending the offending regime an unmarked plane loaded with hundreds of millions in hard currency. The return of these American captives should have been a moment of celebration and bipartisan unity.
No matter what Trump does, the Democratic reaction is the same: Outrage. When Democrats can't even praise Trump unreservedly for bringing American hostages home or show up when he fulfills a plank of the Democratic Party platform by moving our embassy to Jerusalem, it further convinces millions of Americans who abandoned the Democratic Party in 2016 that they made the right decision.
Seriously? How do Democrats take a positive event such as the release of American hostages and turn it into an excuse to attack Trump? Apparently, Trump Derangement Syndrome is so debilitating that Democrats can't bring themselves to say "Good job, Mr. President," even when he brings our hostages home. Before, Democrats complained that Trump was too belligerent toward Kim; now, they're upset that he is too effusive. This is absurd. Trump is laying the groundwork for a high-stakes nuclear summit with Kim; of course the president is not going to publicly criticize him. People in Middle America listen to the Democrats' reactions and think: Can Trump do nothing right in these people's eyes?

At root, progressives are in fact American enemies.
They are actually dispalced Europeans.
Everything they espouse they copied from Europe. There is no, zero, nada original thought
“At root, progressives are in fact American enemies.”
Please stop using their terms. There’s nothing “progressive” about them.
Nothing.
They’re the Left.
They hate you. They want you dead. Make no mistake about it.
Plan accordingly.

Twenty years...... can you believe that?
You’re right on. They keep grabbing the hanging rope to hang themselves.
“Twenty years...... can you believe that?”
I actually predate Sign Up dates. Hard to believe Jim has tolerated me for this long. Although I have enjoyed a couple of well deserved “time outs” over the years.

“Want to Understand Why President Trump Keeps On Winning? Look to the Democrat Party’s Hysteria”
The DemocRATS are becoming more open about their hatred of America, white people and working Americans.
We need to “raise awareness” of the scourge that is Trump Derangement Syndrome.
These people need our help.

I think I am at the 20 year mark too. Never got a time out, but a few stern warnings. :)
