Democrats hunker down for ‘permanent opposition' to Donald Trump presidency
2017-01-13
[Wash Times] For those stunned to see Tuesday’s Senate confirmation hearing disrupted by shouts, chants and protesters dressed as Ku Klux Klan members: Get used to it.

President-elect Donald Trump won’t take office for another week, but Democrats and left-wing groups have already laid the groundwork for a relentless four-year assault on his presidency, vowing to disrupt and discredit his administration long before he signs his first bill.

Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich have a name for it: the permanent opposition.
Short title - the PO'd
"You’re going to have a permanent opposition, sort of a combination of the news media and the Elizabeth Warren hard left, and they’re going to attack every single day and they’re going to find something to attack all the time," Mr. Gingrich said on Fox’s "Sunday Morning Futures."

"And Trump’s got to get used to the idea. ’That’s OK, that’s just noise,’" Mr. Gingrich said.

#6  The democrats run the entire government now, almost.

So they will be dragging ass and retributive the whole time. Or, they quit.

It's a serious issue. These commies are squirreled away everywhere.

#5  Permanent opposition states an expectation of never winning the legislature or White House again.

Given the performance of the Democratic Party at the local and state levels across the country, this seems a realistic description of the situation, even if the Democrats should manage to take back both Congress and the White House at some point.

#1  In my experience, modern western left are, first and foremost, cowards (as well as intellectual paupers) who only attack people who can't fight back. Now, does the last sounds as a description of the Don?
