Donald Skunks The Democrats
nytimes.com ^ | JUNE 24, 2017 | Maureen Dowd

You know who is really sick and tired of Donald Trump winning, to the point where they beg, “Please, Mr. President, sir, it’s too much”?

Democrats.

The Democrats just got skunked four to nothing in races they excitedly thought they could win because everyone they hang with hates Trump.

If Trump is the Antichrist, as they believe, then Georgia was going to be a cakewalk, and Nancy Pelosi was going to be installed as speaker before the midterms by acclamation. But it turned into another soul-sucking disappointment.

“It’s Trump four and us zero,” says the Democratic congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio. “I don’t want to admit that. When it comes out of my mouth, it bothers me. But Trump does robo calls. He tweets. He talks about the races. He motivates his base, and he moves the needle, and that’s a problem for us. Guys, we’re still doing something wrong here because a) he’s president and b) we’re still losing to his candidates.”

The 43-year-old Ryan, who failed to unseat Pelosi as House minority leader last year, says that the Democrats’ brand is toxic, and in some places worse than Trump’s. Which is beyond pathetic.

The Dems are so consumed with hate against Trump they have no message other than ‘get Trump’ on fake scandal. That’s not going to work
Winning elections

“Democrats are going to have to come up with something for people to be for, rather than just counting on Trump to implode. (Which he will.)”

Good. They still dont get it. Notice Dowd offers no solution or plan, just whines and complains like the rest of them. They think the will eventually wear him down by doubling down on their lies, hatred, violence, resistance B.S.

And what they STILL havent figured out Trump thrives on their animosity. And he always wins the war. He is the poster child for what doesnt kill you makes you stronger.

I don’t feel sorry for the Democrats at all. Their leadership doesn’t believe in what the base believes at all just as long as they get reelected. They don’t care about the impact to society that their policies bring about.

Trump is the man that this nation has been waiting 200 years for.

A man who can break and destroy the corrupt uni party system. A man who can defeat the racist, globalist ideology of the corrupt Marxist Dummycrats.

There will never be another Dummycrat President. They are finished

Never . . . and I mean NEVER underestimate the Republicans’ ability to screw up a perfect scenario to do something great for our country. And never . . . and I mean NEVER underestimate the ability of the 47% to sway another 3% to win a national election. Those 47% voters are too stupid to realize that if they continue voting liberal, the 10% of us that pay 90% of the taxes will ultimately run out of patience, time and money.

Very good point, but I think at this time the Republican (RINO) Party of McLame, Lyin Ryan, Lady Lindsay etc is on the brink of defeat.

A new, more robust and patriotic Republican Party, shaped in the image of our President, is thankfully being forged.

I fear for the future if the GOP does manage to the thwart Trump. His successful presidency is the last chance this country has to avoid civil war

I pray you are correct that the GOPe is about to go under. I would vote and fight for that eventuality!

...the Democrats’ brand is toxic..."

Yeah, well, when your party stands against everything that's normal, good, wholesome, sensible, traditional, and right, the public kind of develops that perception of you.

No way did RFK Jr really say that. If he did, it was probably the drugs talking.
