"But new presidents typically get an electoral whupping after their first two years, and theres every reason to believe that Trump will govern or fail to in a fashion that prompts one. Will Democrats respond in a way that puts them in the best possible position to deliver it?
That hinges on whether they can look as hard at the errors in their party as at the ugliness in America."
We are not hurt. We are not confused. We are not deplorable - we just wear the label with honor because of the perfidy of those who conferred it.
We are pissed. Pissed at a bunch of anti-American turncoat sell-out whiners who tried to destroy everything that America really stands for. You claim compassion, but you spit on all, your whorshippers and your detractors alike. You claim justice, but you deliver no justice to anyone. But you aren't deplorable. We are deplorable. You - you are despicable.
And you are stupid and delusional. Instead of talking to each other in an echo chamber, listen. Listen to us. Follow a couple of folks on twitter you don't want to hear from. Read Free Republic - just don't join and don't clutter it up with postings of your trashy rants.
But he is perfect!
Hahahahaa!
I’m laughing and laughing at people who don’t like it and have the nerve to question me.
Just laugh, point, and say”Loser!”
Riducle is awesome.
Leftists are chumps. Reporters are chump enablers. Spit on them.
NY Times is sinking quickly and needs people to buy their product. They will say anything.
Did you volunteer to get your ass spanked, Bruni?
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
It’s the Democraps who have a lot of vulnerable senate seats up in 2018, so they should not start getting smug for a long long time.
Great that through his condescending sanctimony he realizes that all the racist, sexist, homophobes are not sexist.
Pray for America
Great interview of predictive linguists guy by Greg Hunter.

Hey faggot bruni, listen to this: Death to the MSM!
The Democrats screwed up alright... they started believing their own slanted polls and demagogues. So they didn’t cheat as much as they needed to win in some key states that they didn’t think would be battlegrounds.
The only way we will win the presidency in the future is by using both houses of congress and the presidency to assure accountability, transparency and fairness to our national election process. Just the number of illegal aliens who voted after being assured by Obama there would be no consequences was no doubt staggering, but other outright fraud most likely added millions more fraudulent votes to the total also.
Trump brought the fight to too many states where the fraud machine was not firmly in place. He outmaneuvered them.
He doesnt get it.
He cant figure,outmthat white people,who disagree can also not be racist. He judt picks a 64 year old black woman as the example they might - MIGHT - possibly,be wrong about.
They are never going to learn. I really believe that.
Because tovlearn requires them to believe that they can be wrong. That others may disagree with them for more than one legitimate valid reasons that do not require their permission to hold. And that while they may have a worldview that they believe works for them, others may have worldviews that work for them, and work better than their do. That,others may have better solutions,to things than they do.
They cant learn thismstuff because it threatens their worldview and it causes them to have to critically examine their beliefs. They dont do that. It shows the illogic and contradictions inherent in their patchwork of “values”.
As hard as it is to predict an election, it’s even harder to predict how 4 years of a presidency goes.
We tend to forget Bush Jr. campaigned against nation-building and was fairly isolationist in his attitude. Then China kidnapped our plane and 9/11 happened.
Yes, you stepped on your crank.
No, we will not buy your work in the future.
You have proven yourselves untrustworthy.
Sentence of note.
Total joke. Nobody believes anything these elitists write anynmore.
Who exactly is this? Define specific real life examples of who and what this is? What the hell makes you the arbiter?
To add the staggering toll, Republicans now control 66 of 99 statehouses.
Yet, Frank Bruni is historically correct when he observes:
But new presidents typically get an electoral whupping after their first two years, and theres every reason to believe that Trump will govern or fail to in a fashion that prompts one.
Putting aside the author's negativity, we dare not ignore the lessons of history. 2, 4,6 or 8 years from now our overwhelmingly favorable prospect in a 50 statehouses might be entirely altered just as the count in Congress might turn toward our disfavor. Only the arrogant believe that they are politically invulnerable and we must count the possibility that this moment of opportunity is transitory.
Now is the time to proceed when it is utterly safe to do so against any downside risk coming from the liberal side toward an Article V amendment process to enshrine conservatism in the Constitution, that is, to restore the Constitution to its original intent by invoking the very remedy laid out in the Constitution. Now is the time, the risk is virtually nonexistent, on a mathematical basis it is practically impossible that conservatives cannot find 17 statehouses among 66 to stop any untoward leftist amendment.
We should be proceeding in Washington with the Trump administration in parallel with Article V reform in the statehouses which we control. We will not control Washington for ever, the demographics are dead against us. Now is the time to enshrine in the Constitution the values which animated us to support Donald Trump and defeat Hillary Clinton.
Stopped reading after “a basket of deplorables who arent all deplorable.” Scumbag thinks he is sooooooo erudite, so much smarter than everyone else because HE knows that at least some Trump supporters are not deplorable. Gee thanks Einstein now go away.
