Hillary's Plan to Resist and Persist

Resist and Persist
The View from the Middle

Hillary Clinton recently went on TV and suggested that the Democrat Party should engage in “resistance and persistence”. That may be a cute slogan. It does rhyme, and it may even be a strategy to insure that Donald Trump fails (and America with him) but it is hardly a platform. The Democrat Party seems to be hoping desperately for a disaster and doing everything they can to deliver one. Doesn’t that just make you want to vote for them?
They are also manically employing the “sticks and stones” strategy that they used during the general election. They miss no opportunity to call President Trump and anyone who dared vote for him misogynists, xenophobes, racists, bigots, homophobes and Islamophobes. Remember Hillary’s basket of deplorables? Now they have added an accusation of anti Semitism to their diatribe despite the fact that it is difficult to be anti Semitic and an Islamophobe at the same time. But the beauty of their insults is that they don’t depend on any proof or any connection to the truth to make them.
I guess calling half of America a basket of deplorable bigots just doesn’t cut it anymore, however. It is clear to me that the DNC is offering bonuses to any lame stream media commentator who can connect Donald Trump to the most heinous people in world history. I heard liberal talking head Bernard Whitman do a particularly good job of this the other day as he compared Trump to Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong in the same sentence.
Don’t get hung up on the fact that these three sociopaths killed between 75 and 100 MILLION people. And if they can’t make any ridiculous personal comparisons, they just exaggerate events. The other day, I heard General Flynn’s conversation with the Russian Ambassador compared to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. Now those are comparisons that only the most loyal liberal fanatics can embrace.
My point is, what’s lacking in the Democrat Party right now is an actual platform. What do they actually stand for? Are they for open borders? Make your case. Are you for amnesty and citizenship for law abiding illegals? (Wow, is that an oxymoron or what) Are you for legalization, which is a very different proposal? Make your case. Do you want more regulations and higher taxes? Make your case.
Despite how much the American people may not like Donald Trump’s behavior, if his platform starts to deliver positive results, the Democrat Party may be in for a series of long hot summers. I still think, however, they would be better off to share and explain their platform than being the party of “If you don’t think like me, you disgust me” or “I’m really hoping for a disaster for American so I can get my power back”.
