Trump represents the silent majority

Let’s start with tolerance as preached by those who 1) boycott presidential invitations, 2) riot and/or turn their backs on speakers who espouse an opposing view, 3) try in every conceivable way to impede the agenda of elected officials, whether it be for the greater long-term good of our nation or not, 5) like Johnny Depp, Kathie Griffin, Madonna and other celebs make veiled threats against President Donald Trump.

Those who lost want this administration to fail at any cost. Their strategy is to delay, obstruct and criticize through a wired mass media.

The Democratic Party, if it wants to continue to feed from the taxpayers’ trough, cannot embrace the left-leaning socialist bent expressed by its previous candidate and her associates. That is why they lost the presidency and numerous recent statewide elections. It wasn’t the Russians, or James Comey. It was their message.

At long last, the silent majority has spoken. They chose a conceited, amateurish hustler with a suspect background over an experienced politician with a suspect background because his message resonated with the common voters while Hillary Clinton’s did not.

Those who lost should not take out their frustrations on the electorate. There will be a price to pay.

For the GOP, set aside the Obamacare battle. You have proven incapable of multitasking. Focus on tax reform. You need a big win for both sides of the aisle before you can go after the divisive issue of health care.
