Perspective is a wonderful thing…when applied in an appropriate and logical manner.

Problems occur if short-term perspectives don’t mesh with the long-term view; case in point…the fanatic perspective of the Left that a Republican must be driven from office.

Regardless of how well that leader might be doing, for the Nation as a whole.

Republican tax-cuts Trump championed are putting more cash in American paychecks, more benefits added to their employment, and more job opportunities for millions.

The Koreas are talking; other nations will contribute more to NATO and the UN; ISIS is being defeated…and yet, anti-GOP fanatics relentlessly continue implacable attacks.

At this point, it’s pretty obvious that only one thing would make the Left happy.

We could be poor, jobless, disrespected, beaten down by terrorists and under the threat of nuclear violence by rogue actors…but if a Democrat were in the White House…

…everything would be okay.

So, the new norm now appears to be, when the Left loses at the election box, anyone that is associated with the winning campaign must be, and will be…destroyed.

Though many define this new rage as ‘Trump-derangement-syndrome’ we suggest it’s  more appropriate to define the derangement as inclusive of anyone  outside the Swamp who has the temerity to believe they can win politically…without paying a huge price.

But, there may be hope, borne from the lunatic derangement actions of the Left. That may play well with their base, but such fanaticism turns off the more thoughtful.

Michael Barone, senior political analyst, thinks Trump’s upward polling may be a result of the very insidious, vicious attacks against the President, and it’s a solid concept.

We’re inclined to agree: after all, even a rock-ribbed Democrat, if they’re capable of reasonable thought, must see such attacks as coarsening the political dialogue.

Summed up, he writes…“Looking ahead, it’s possible that Republicans in 2018 and President Trump in 2020 could win based on solid achievements. But their chances will be better if Democrats can’t shake off their bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.” (bold & underline emphasis added)

One can but hope.
