© 2016 Jim Spence - You have to shake your head too often these days. Memories
of the Obama administration dancing with Russia’s Putin and Medvedev linger, as
do the Clinton’s shady financial dealings with Russian companies. Both Hillary
and the Russian business people used the power of the State Department to pad
their pockets.
Since her historic defeat, there have been many stories written
about the Trump victory over Hillary Clinton. Many have been built around the
theme of how shocking her loss was to the average Democrat. If you think her
loss was shocking to the average Democrat, we should consider how shocked the
elitist Democrats were. In the aftermath of their stunning defeat, there was a
wide range of responses by Dems. The Dem’s best responses went back to the
primary season. If Bernie Sanders did one thing besides call on voters to
transform the U.S. economic system into one that performs more like Venezuela,
he also exposed how corrupt and dislikable Hillary Clinton was. Bernie, along
with Wikileaks, demonstrated just how UN-democratic the Democrat Party was when
it came to rigging their primary system with super delegates and faux debates. Accordingly, many
Democrats privately conceded that Hillary was an awful candidate who only inspired
a tiny sliver of the population, those bent on getting a female, any female,
into the Oval Office. The unions understood how disinterested Hillary was in
their jobs. They voted Trump. More important, white women loathed the way
Hillary threw them under the bus with her contrived racial game plan that
necessarily had to make all whites accept guilt for things done by other white human
beings seven or eight generations ago. Some Dems tried to blame resistance to
Hillary on anti-women sentiment even when she could not carry a majority of
votes in her own identity group……white women. It is the no pun intended,
elephant in the room.
As November of 2016 fades, it has been truly astonishing to
see Dems cling to the, “Trump colluded with the Russians” narrative. It has also
been a costly blunder. Former Obama and Clinton stooge Susan Rice, the woman
who went on the media circuit to cover for the bungled Benghazi situation that
led to three American deaths, inserted herself into the Russian narrative in a
way that made it pretty clear she was on the point of the Trump surveillance and
felonious leaks to the press. Her day of reckoning is coming. Rice figures to
be taking the 5th amendment soon.
Last week the entire Russian collusion narrative came
crashing down when Trump fired tomahawk missiles into Syria and also accused
the Russians of participating in the gas attack that slaughtered innocent
people there. The cozy relationship between Putin and Medvedev and Hillary and
Obama now stands in stark contrast to the heightened military tensions between
Trump and our Russian adversaries.
It all makes you wonder about who is formulating strategy at
the top of the Democratic Party. Perhaps the asinine decision to go with the
Russian ruse is a sign that there is not a scrap on intellectual honesty left
in the party, only a stack of worn out "ism" accusations to trot out to try to
make people feel guilty enough to vote Democrat. Yes, trite charges of sexism
and racism have worn so thin even the Democrats decided they need to re-invent
themselves as anti-Russian. This too comes with a price tag as do all ruses.
The Russian ruse has made it difficult for most Democrats to question a highly
questionable decision by Trump to fire tomahawks into Syria.
Strange consequences indeed.
