The Left needs to face reality: Trump is winning

Click here: The Democrats loathing for Trump is bone-deep and all-consuming. This is war and they take no prisoners. For most of today’s marchers, border policies offer a chance to vent. But they didn’t make a peep when Obama did exactly the same thing. If children were really their main concern, they could help the 23,000 New York City kids living in shelters. Or they could have attended the funeral of Lesandro Guzman-Feliz, the innocent Bronx teen hacked to death by a Dominican gang. Instead, they give in to Trump Derangement Syndrome, which causes them to immediately and absolutely adopt the opposite position of the president’s — facts and common sense be damned.
