After the rains, flowers in the Southwest are in full bloom.
One highlight is purple, the color for The People’s Party.
As for the east coast, things are frozen, both in weather and in politics.
Lowering taxes could take time.
Getting health care laws to lower health care prices and unshackle employers could take
more time.
The leading political party’s interests are divided and their opposition has no tactic
beneath them.
Democrats are filibustering every political appointee as Obama appointees persist; Trump
fired 46 Obama-appointed prosecutors.
Of course, opposition filibusters and firing federal prosecutors for any new, incoming
president are both standard practice.
Conservatives expected as much and don’t demonstrate any shock, yet Liberals usually
think their loss deserves exception.
Everything suggests that Republicans will gain ground in the Senate come 2018, thanks
to the Democrats refusal on cloture.
Therein lies the real danger: supermajority.
A group of professors had a wild idea: What if Trump had been a woman and Hillary had
been a man?
Surely that would have flipped election results.
Actually, after a carefully-rehearsed reenactment of the presidential debates by one skilled
actor and one skilled actress, Liberal supporters were in for another surprise.
Hillary supporters adored Trump’s words when they came from a woman and hated Hillary’s
words when they came from a man.
After learning the truth, they didn’t change their political preferences, of course.
People rarely change their opinions, given new information, no matter what political
party they are from.
While Conservatives will tout the results of this little theatrical-political experiment,
they reacted with much of the same blindness over news about Bush family dealings.
Note, the term “Trump dissident” is important in describing this presidential term.
Most of the people who voted for Hillary didn’t like her, supported Bernie Sanders, and liked
Trump least of all, to say the least.
Hillary’s team met with the Russians before the election, according to the Kremlin.
That will make the upcoming hearings even more interesting.
The game of chairs keeps revolving.
No political victory is final.
No enemy is ultimate.
And no pettiness evades anyone.
