No tears here. No march on the Capitol either.

Trump is a dick among many other things, but you're letting the democratic party off the hook here.

For what?

Not worth much of a reply, Mark. But there's a reason your post has only 17 comments in 13 hours. An entirely predictable "Wah, Wah" message to an audience who is sick of it.

And yet most of the comments are positive. Imagine that.

A majority of 17 comments are positive out of a US population of 335 million... if that floats your boat, I don't know what to say but I think some sympathy is in order. Oh wait, there's now 20 comments. Imagine that.

Showing Lots of class after America has spoken loudly about the direction your party has taken us with men competing with women, illegals committing crimes and fentanyl pouring in, inflationary policies that really hurt minorities, and feckless leadership in foreign relations.

Have fun with elections have consequences. Keep up the good work.

I don't know what an "illegal" is. There was an immigration bill that provided for much more fentanyl detection, but Trump told his puppet Mike Johnson to get rid of it. Opioid overdoses are down 15 percent this year nationally and Texas has its lowest number since 2020.... Exactly .0008 of NCAA athletes are transexual. Less than a half of one percent of high school athletes are......"Inflationary policies" is another term for stimulating the economy after the Covid pandemic killed it, and anyway inflation is down below pre-Covid levels now and is lower than wage growth....Feckless leadership? Thanks to Biden, NATO is stronger than ever and supports Ukraine's fight for freedom against Trump's bestie.

Elections do have consequences. The 2020 election served to launch the best economy in the world. I hope this election's consequences aren't too dire, although the release of hundreds of Jan. 6 domestic terrorists might not be a good start. I hope this reply was "classy" enough..

You laid it out just as deftly as you do a fourth-quarter touchdown drive or extra-inning grand slam.

Thank you for such a well written article. It’s a sad day

Fortunately a mandate across the USA disagreed with this liberal take. Elections have consequences and Americans have spoken.

Their words speak loudly and count more than the liberal words written here.

The good thing is that there won't be a murderous assault on the Capitol this time. The point of the post was not liberal or conservative but an attempt to explain Trump's staying power. I'm not surprised it was misinterpreted.

I am not the least bit surprised at your column, or your response to my comment. The insurrections and riots across the USA in the name of BLM did tremendous good for all minorities. Those were liberal Democrats “mostly peaceful” protesting. I am surprised it has not been highlighted here, as a learning point to how not to do murderous assault. Keep up the good work.

I'm also not surprised at your what-aboutism, even though the George Floyd riots were spontaneous and were not specifically directed by the President of the United States to kill the VP and attack members of Congress. Yes, we have the videotape....Have fun with tariff-induced inflation and the end of inspected meat products.

You had me at - "And so we awaken, if we ever slept, to greet the return of a 34-time convicted felon, a sexual assaulter, the catalyst of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, a twice-impeached blackmailer of Ukrainians, a grifter who sells $100,000 watches, a tax cheat, an election denier and manipulator, and a leader so weak-kneed during his only White House crisis that he suggested bootleg remedies for Covid-19 and predicted it would go from 15 cases to zero, “like a miracle.”

When a majority of the country votes on the basis of anger and ignorance, one can only take this, sadly, as evidence of a nation sinking ever further and inexorably into decline.
