Mo Dowd: Election Therapy From My Basket of Deplorables

The New York Times ^ | 26 Nov 16 | Maureen Dowd

Donald Trump pulled off one of the greatest political feats in modern history by defeating Hillary Clinton and the vaunted Clinton machine.

The election was a complete repudiation of Barack Obama: his fantasy world of political correctness, the politicization of the Justice Department and the I.R.S., an out-of-control E.P.A., his neutering of the military, his nonsupport of the police and his fixation on things like transgender bathrooms. Since he became president, his party has lost 63 House seats, 10 Senate seats and 14 governorships.

The country had signaled strongly in the last two midterms that they were not happy. The Dems’ answer was to give them more of the same from a person they did not like or trust.

from Kevin: "If your preferred candidate loses, there is no need for mass hysteria, canceled midterms, safe spaces, crying rooms or group primal screams."

from Maureen Doud: "I went cold turkey to eat hot turkey: no therapy dog, no weaving therapy, no yoga, no acupuncture, no meditation, no cry-in."

Heh. Looks like Kevin knows his sissy and her ilk pretty well.

Donald Trump pulled off one of the greatest political feats in modern history by defeating Hillary Clinton and the vaunted Clinton machine.

It was only "vaunted" by you, Ms. Dowd, and your colleagues in the fake-news MSM, who spun nothing but unadulterated BS throughout the entire recent presidential campaign.

Which strategy was just a continuation of the non-stop BS parade they've been driving for the last eight or nine years, if not longer.

She was quoting her brother, Kevin, in the article. Those weren’t her words.

[NobleFree]

The whole thread kinda missed that.

Clicking the link to read the article is against FR rules. ;-)

[kvanbrunt2]

We should be encouraging her if this is her viewpoint.

The link says it was written by her brother Kevin.>> i thot so as well he is a prof in economics and contributes to Cato. which makes one of her best articles written by her brother

[RightGeek]

I'm fainting!

Someone must have stolen Mo Dowd's signon at the NY Slimes and written this!

[NobleFree]

he is a prof in economics and contributes to Cato.

Wow!

[shoedog]

So Mo adopted or dropped on her head as a child?

[RightGeek]

LOL

It was her brother:

Well, here is what Kevin, an affluent, educated suburbanite, has to say in his column, titled an “Election Therapy Guide for Liberals”:

At least in the excerpt, she has it nailed. It’s amazing how someone so daffy gets it right sometimes.

[Covenantor]

I just visit the Mo Dowdy threads for the pictures.

Thanks

‘his column, titled an “Election Therapy Guide for Liberals”’

Apparently first published here: http://www.tothepointnews.com/author/guest/

[Moonman62]

I clicked the article, and found out the excerpt was actually written by her brother, who I guess is a Conservative. Mo seems to be the blacksheep of the family.

I just visit the Mo Dowdy threads for the pictures.

Don't we all? I certainly have no interest in reading anything that Mo Dowdy writes.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Absolutely stunning coming from Modo.
She seems to have a had a real epiphany.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Wow! Kevin Dowd should be the one writing columns!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Oh, OK, that explains it.
I thought Modo had had a brain transplant or something.

[Phlap]

I know her brother wrote this but to Mo and the rest of the liberal elite, I love the sound of liberals whining in the morning. It sounds like ... victory.
