Sour Grapes

It has been more than a year since Donald Trump won the election. Democrats’ disappointment is certainly understandable as is their dislike of Trump’s policies and personality. However, enough is enough.

Hillary Clinton has been making more millions going around the country selling her book. She has offered dozens of reasons why she lost. Somehow being a bad candidate and having a bad strategy didn’t make the list.

Meanwhile, many on the Left have organized a Resist Trump movement. Somehow holding demonstrations and secret conferences is supposed to hurt President Trump. Instead, they hurt their cause as long as people care more about venting their rage than working on a path to recovery.

A recent poll showed that Democrats favor impeaching President Trump by a 49-41 margin. I am certainly not one of his fans, but he hasn’t done anything remotely close to “high crimes and misdemeanors” as required by the Constitution. Even if they regain the House, there is no way they could get the required sixty-seven votes in the Senate. I’m not sure if these people are delusional or are ready to give up on our democracy.

Democrats had more reason to be upset in 2000. A 5-4 Supreme Court decision kept Al Gore from the Oval Office. They went to work. Eight years later they had the White House and a filibuster-proof Senate. Rather than rebuilding the party, they want to keep doing what hasn’t worked.
