TRUMP WATCH: 12.31.16 - The Democratic Party Is Already Planning to Lose 2020

The Democratic Party Is Already Planning to Lose 2020 - Todd Strandberg - http://raptureready.com/rap16.html

 

We are still weeks away from the day that Donald Trump takes office and the Democratic Party has already done everything possibly to ensure they lose the next presidential election. Since November 8th, disaffected Democrats have failed twice to undo the 2016 presidential election.

 

First, there was the failed recount effort launched by Jill Stein, an obvious front for the Clinton campaign-in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Embarrassingly, that effort actually resulted in a wider margin of victory for Trump, but not before Stein wasted $7 million raised from devastated Hillary supporters.

 

The second failure was an effort to convince Electoral College voters to become so-called faithless electors by deciding to cast their votes for someone other than the Republican nominee. When the vote was cast last Monday, five electors chose not to back Clinton while only two decided not to vote for Donald Trump. I guess threatening the life of electors was not the way to go.

 

Their next strategy will be to impeach Trump, more or less from the moment he is sworn in. Trump has already committed a long list of high crimes, according to liberal lawyers that are going over the Constitution with a microscope. Since Republicans control both houses of Congress, the Democrats' dreams of impeachment are going to be out of luck.

 

Let us return to reality.

 

Right after this massive election defeat, the Democrats decide to reelect Nancy Pelosi as minority leader of the House of Representatives. Pelosi has headed the Democratic caucus for 14 years. During her term they have lost more seats in Congress and state legislatures than the entire history of the party.

 

When asked how she could bring new ideas to the party, Pelosi said, "I don't think Democrats want a new direction." This is like saying people don't want cars that get better gas mileage or computers that have faster processors.

 

Pelosi has been so ineffective as a leader, Republicans were mockingly advocating for her to win the leadership election. "I'm rooting for Nancy!," GOP Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said, "She may have more support in our conference than her own conference."

 

The worst decision by the Democratic Party is the plan to make Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress the head the Democratic National Committee. The vote will take place in February, and so far, Ellison is the only major contender for the job.

 

I think it is a serious mistake to make a Muslim the head of any political organization. Ellison may wave the American flag, and claim he's become a new man since the day he praised anti-Semitic Louis Farrakhan in the 1990s. But Ellison proves his own anti-Semitic stance by being chummy with a host of anti-Israel groups-like the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas.

 

Ellison also failed to disclose that a group founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood paid for him to make a pilgrimage to the Islamic holy site of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The voting record of Keith Ellison should disqualify him from heading the Democratic Party. He is one of only eight members of Congress who refused to vote to help Israel fund its Iron Dome anti-missile program that was critical in protecting civilians from the rocket barrage launched by Hamas in 2007 and 2008.

 

In 2009 Ellison was one of only two dozen Congressmen to vote "present" rather than vote for a non-binding resolution "recognizing Israel's right to defend itself against attacks from, reaffirming the United States' strong support for Israel, and supporting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process."

 

The dumbest thing about having Keith Ellison as the DNC head is the money he is going to cost the Democratic Party. The number of Jews in America is only 4 percent, but they are major donors to leftist causes. I'm sure by 2020 Ellison will move the Democratic platform from pro-Israel to pro-Palestinian. This could be the breaking point where a sizable number of Jews will turn to the Republican Party.

 

You would think that Hillary Clinton's political career is over. News reports say she intends to keep her campaign organization together for the next four years to keep open the possibility of running again for president in 2020.

 

"She's convinced that, sooner than later, the voters will come to their senses and realize they made a horrible mistake by putting [Donald] Trump in the White House," a source close to Hillary told Ed Klein Confidential. "She's sure the voters will beg her to get in the race and she says, 'I'm going to run again in 2020.'"

 

Clinton has made few public statements about the election, but it's clear that she accepts zero responsibility for her loss. She is convinced that FBI Director James Comey cost her the election by the October announcement that he was reopening his investigation of her emails. There's no doubt that Clinton thinks that Russian President Vladimir Putin was working with Trump.

 

In telephone conversations with Donald Trump, FBI Director James Comey assured the president-elect there was no credible evidence that Russia influenced the outcome of the recent U.S. presidential election by hacking the Democratic National Committee and the emails of John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

 

What's more, Comey told Trump that James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, agreed with this FBI assessment. The only member of the U.S. intelligence community who was ready to assert that the Russians sanctioned the hacking was John Brennan, the director of the CIA, according to sources who were briefed on Comey's conversations with Trump.

 

"And Brennan takes his marching orders from President Obama," the sources quoted Comey as saying. In Comey's view, the leaks to The New York Times and The Washington Post alleging that the Russians tried-and perhaps even succeeded-in tilting the election to Trump were a Democratic Party effort to delegitimize Trump's victory.

 

The bar has been set so low for president-elect Trump, it's going to be very hard for him to fail. When electors for Pennsylvania delegation voted for him, some woman screamed, "You just elected Adolf Hitler." If Trump is able to resist annexing Austria or invading Poland, we'll be able to call his first term a success.

 

There is always the possibility of a massive recession putting the Democrats back in power in 2020. The mistakes that they are making on a daily basis makes this a hard goal to reach. The only other option for a Democratic sweep is the Rapture. Since God is the one who determines the course of world events, the loony left may be set to retake the White House because of the Lord of heaven planning on handing them the ultimate hollow victory.

 

"He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision" (Psalm 2:4).
