Earlier it was reported that the Republican party was in disarray and might not recover. Now, the Republicans control 31 of the 50 governorships (will increase to 34 in January) and 68 of the 99 state assemblies. They control the House and Senate, plus, of course, the presidency. Some disarray, some ruin.
It’s the Democrats in full panic mode. They’ve formed a circular firing squad armed with shotguns and hand grenades. Interesting lot they’ve fighting over to run the DNC. First, there’s Senator Elizabeth (Liarwatha) Warren. Hillary’s been described as having a cold personality. A frozen mackerel is considered warm next to Liz. She resides in a mansion with a full staff. Pretty good digs for a people’s protector, especially when she and hubby were academics before she became a senator. Her politics are on the left alongside Bernie Sanders. Then, there’s Congressman Keith Garrison, also an extreme left winger, also, a Muslim. I’ll not hold that against him, alone. However, he’s been linked with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which was a major fund raiser for him. Senator **** Durbin of Illinois has declared that CAIR “is unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its association with groups that are suspect.” New York Senator Charles Schumer, once said that CAIR “has ties to terrorism.” Now, Schumer supports Garrison. Third is Martin O’Mally, former mayor of Baltimore and governor of Maryland. As mayor of Baltimore he saw the rise in crime and homelessness. He provided alternative housing in the form of 35,000 deserted buildings when he left. Increased spending as governor of Maryland. Then, of course, raised taxes, including a “temporary’ millionaires’ tax. More than 18,600 tax filers left Maryland with $4.2 billion in adjusted gross income. In the end, less revenue was collected than before the tax was raised. Recently, O’Malley put on his tin foil hat. Then on MSNBC’s Hardball said, we cannot let President-elect Donald Trump “commit war crimes,” nor fill “internment camps.” Three full on left wing nutjobs are the best the Dems could dredge up to run the party. Remember the British toast, “Confusion to our enemies.” Its working overtime.
