OPINION:
The Democrats’ march to the cliff’s edge in recent weeks ought to be apparent to anyone with at least a fifth-grade education. Five elements readily come to mind.
First, the Democrats lack any sense of humor. This makes them an easy target by President Trump, who routinely uses humor to make his point. The Democrats most closely align with cannibals.
Second, Democrats lack critical-thinking capabilities. Witness Sen. Mazie Hirono, who as an elected representative can only read from a prepared script. (One can only be thankful that Ms. Hirono hasn’t been handed a grocery list for Whole Foods.)
Third, Democrats think they are on stage, yet they are unable to stick to the script, instead going off on tangents unrelated to the subject matter. Sen. Cory Booker illustrates this nicely as he seeks to unload his oratory in a King Lear fashion whenever the opportunity rises.
Fourth, the Democrats lack both short- and long-term memory. Most can’t recall what their position was a week ago. Rep. Maxine Waters was ranked the worst for ethics violations. Sen. Richard Blumenthal didn’t understand that Connecticut is not Vietnam. Whichever way the wind blows is a good measure on how the Democrats will react.
Fifth, Democratic voters should all be administered the Rorschach test. Not to understand that Democratic representatives do not care about their own citizens is a serious condition that has led to the circus the public sees everyday. The Democrats will take your tax dollars but will never use them for the good of the country.
