Horowitz: Democrats’ Hatred of Trump Is Going to Bring Them Down
Reflections on the State of the Union
2.1.2018
Donald Trump’s State of the Union address was perfectly pitched for the political moment. He spoke to and for the American people – for all Americans of whatever race, color or creed. He spoke for the poorest and most vulnerable among us, who are the chief victims of the Democrats’ determination to welcome millions upon millions of illegal aliens, who are mainly low wage laborers and who include predatory criminals, to pour into our country; to defy federal law with their “sanctuary” states and cities, and to effectively declare our border and immigration policies null and void. Trump did not use the word “sedition” to describe the law-breaking and Constitution-negating actions of his Democratic predecessor or the Democrats assembled in the chamber of the House. He provided instead an opening to them to abandon their “resistance” – resistance to the expressed will of the American voting public which has led to a relentless sabotage of the democratic process. In sum, he offered a hand to his Democratic haters, and they slapped it away.
When Trump summarized the successes of his first year in office, he emphasized how the prosperity of his first twelve months impacted the lives and hopes of ordinary Americans, wage laborers and others whom the eight years of the Obama presidency had left behind. In doing so he exposed the Democrats in the most dramatic way imaginable. Under his policies, he boasted, black and Hispanic unemployment are record lows. As he said this and the Republican side of the house rose to its feet in applause the TV camera panned to the morose members of the Democrats’ Black Caucus, sitting on their hands and showing America that the last thing they care about is their black constituents. What they care about is their hatred for Trump, and about not disturbing the biggest lie of the political season: that the White House is the headquarters of a “white supremacy” movement intent on keeping black Americans down and making them suffer.
This was the Democrats’ reaction throughout the evening. When Trump made eloquent appeals on behalf of the men and women who serve this country in arms; when he praised his newly appointed Veterans Administration chief for firing VA officials who did not have the love for these American heroes that the American people do, the TV camera panned on Republicans rising to their feet and applauding and then to the Democrats reclining listlessly in their chairs and consulting their cell phones. What the images showed was that the Democrats’ hatred of Trump overwhelmed the most patriotic instinct – to care for the people who risk their lives to care for us.
Images like this which continued throughout Trump’s speech tell you everything you need to know about the Democratic Party today. Its representatives rejected – to a man and woman – a tax reform that put money in the pockets of millions of Americans, and is bringing industries and dollars back to the United States. Democrats demanded and support a “sequester” plan that has hog tied America’s military in the face of greater threats than the country has ever faced. Democrats shut the door on Trump’s offer to amnesty 1.8 million illegals in exchange for border security, because keeping the borders open and hatred of Trump are more important to Democrats than the actual DACA “dreamers” whom they claim to care about.
And that’s the bottom line that Trump’s artfully sculpted speech exposed. The Democrats are running on hate – and it is pretty much all they are running on. Their hate has blinded them to the interests of constituencies that used to be theirs; it has blinded them to the interests of the country at large, particularly as pertain to security and jobs; and it has narrowed their base of support to maybe 30% of the electorate, ensuring that come November they will have nowhere to go.
Joy Reid: Only Fox News Viewers Have Heard of MS-13
"He makes it sound like they're the biggest threat.”
2.1.2018
During his State of the Union address Tuesday night, President Trump made mention of the evil MS-13 gang which has infiltrated our nation and internationally. He even invited to the event the parents of two teens whom MS-13 had brutally murdered; when Trump acknowledged them during his speech, they received a standing ovation. This didn't sit well with the grumpy Democrats in attendance, because their party craves power above all else and therefore they are indifferent to the suffering caused by the rampant criminality that follows in the wake of their open borders obsession.
Case in point: as reported by Fox News, while analyzing the speech with Hardball host Chris Matthews, MSNBC host Joy Reid tried to diminish President Trump’s mention of the "savage" gang by claiming that MS-13 isn’t a major issue and the only people that have even heard of the gang are viewers of Fox News.
“He gives a speech tonight," Reid said, "in which he makes it sound like the biggest issue in the United States, the biggest threat is MS-13, a gang nobody that doesn't watch Fox News has ever heard of. So he makes it sound like they're the biggest threat.”
Of course, Trump did not make MS-13 sound like the biggest issue facing the country. His point was that "glaring loopholes" in our broken immigration system allowed MS-13 to metastasize across the country, and law-abiding American citizens are paying the price.
It is patently false to claim that MS-13 is some obscure little group of thugs that "only" Fox News viewers know about. Fox News itself identified many, many news outlets that have reported on the gang, including Reid's own MSNBC:
A search of “MS-13” on CNN’s website reveals dozens of articles that mention the gang. The gang has been mentioned in an assortment of New York Times headlines in recent memory, such as a June 2017 article titled, “39 members of MS-13 are arrested, authorities say,” and a July 2017 article headlined, “Trump will visit Long Island in the wake of MS-13 gang arrests.”If the Times is too high-brow for the MSNBC star, USA Today has also covered the gang extensively. A video on the site from Nov. 2017 is headlined, “MS-13 gang member arrested in Maryland murder.”USA Today even covered the gang back in 2012 when the Obama-era feds decided to label MS-13 a criminal group.[...]“MS-13 is an example of some of the worst of criminal gang behavior,” Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., told Matthews on the very same show on which Reid appeared.News organizations, including the Washington Post, HuffPost, The New Yorker, The Hill, New York Post, PBS, New York Daily News, Los Angeles Times, Daily Mail, Time and Slate have all covered the dangerous gang.
When asked about Reid's callous comments by Laura Ingraham on her Fox News show, Elizabeth Alvarado - one of the parents who were honored at the State of the Union address - shook her head and said, "I have no words."
The upshot is not that Trump is exaggerating the threat of MS-13, but that Joy Reid is downplaying it, because as a Democrat, she doesn't care about the downsides for American citizens of the left's single-minded focus on embracing and expanding illegal immigration in order to swell the Democrat party's voter base. In the process of dismissing Trump's mention of the threat as merely throwing red meat to the “audience he wants applause from,” Reid was also dismissing those grieving parents and the countless others whose lives have been traumatically affected by such criminality.
Joy Reid said this because she and the Democrats don't care about victimized American citizens. They don't care who dies or who suffers as long as more and more illegal aliens, a significant proportion of whom are violent criminals, flood into the country and vote Democrat.
Schumer Advises Trump to Thank Obama for Booming Economy in SOTU Speech
More like, "Bye, Obama!"
1.30.2018
You can bet that President Trump is going to tout the booming economy under his administration in his State of the Union address on Tuesday evening. But if Chuck Schumer was writing the speech, he’d make Trump bow down and thank the real person behind the bulging markets: Barack Obama.
Here’s what the minority leader said from the Senate floor ahead of the SOTU address:
“The president will be eager to defend the accomplishments of his nascent administration and take credit for a healthy American economy, pointing to low employment, job growth, and a soaring stock market. But the truth is these trends were present before Donald Trump took office. President Trump was handed an already healthy economy by his predecessor. Like many things in his life, he inherited the healthy economy. Here are two words we won’t hear President Trump say tonight about the economy: Thanks, Obama.”
Who knew Schumer was a comedy writer? (He's about as funny as his second cousin once removed, Amy Schumer.)
He continued, addressing the president directly: “President Trump, President Obama created more jobs in the last year of his term than you created in the first year of yours. So if you’re going to pat yourself on the back, give a shout out to Barack Obama.”
We have a suggestion that Trump might say in his speech tonight: “Quiet, Schumer.”

This is what the Democratic Party has become.
As proof, I cite every single media outlet bitterly complaining after the speech that, as MSNBC's chyron put it: "TRUMP FAILS TO MENTION RUSSIA'S ELECTION MEDDLING IN STATE OF THE UNION."
He did not address the elephant in the room!
A lot of people don't like Trump, but no one was thinking that. It's only an elephant in your room, media. This is the very definition of solipsistic.
What did they want him to say? "I confess!"? Then they would have complained that the speech was all about him. There would be five Mueller deputies going over the speech, line by line.
If that's all they got, it was a great speech.
The media claimed that Trump tricked them into reporting that his address was going to be bipartisan -- and then double-crossed them by delivering a "divisive" speech.
To be sure, there were a few partisan flourishes, galling to both sides.
Points Liberals Hate:
-- "Beautiful clean coal";
-- The end of Obamacare's individual mandate;
-- Keeping Guantanamo open; and
-- Firing useless government employees working for the Veterans Administration.
Points Conservatives Hate:
-- Amnesty;
-- Pointless wars; and
-- Any policy Trump mentioned when the camera flashed to Ivanka.
Altogether, these partisan remarks consumed about seven minutes of an 80-minute speech.
The bulk of Trump's address celebrated:
-- A booming economy;
-- Companies bringing jobs home;
-- Low black unemployment;
-- The flag;
-- The national motto;
-- God;
-- Rebuilding roads and bridges;
-- Law enforcement;
-- The life of a child born to an opioid addict;
-- The military;
-- Veterans; and
-- Getting the best immigrants we can.
I'm trying to imagine FDR opposing any of that. But according to today's Democrats, those issues are "divisive." (Calling the president a "racist" 2 million times a day -- that's not particularly divisive.)
Democrats have apparently decided that the magic of immigration-created demographic transformation means the future is theirs! They no longer have to worry about middle-of-the-road voters, independents, undecideds -- or really any Americans at all.
The entire party has embraced Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet's advice (offered back when he thought Trump was going to lose): "The culture wars are over; they lost, we won. ... F*ck Anthony Kennedy." (No asterisk in the original.)
Drawing on his family's mystique, Rep. Joseph Kennedy III delivered the Democratic rebuttal while standing in an auto body shop in front of a broken-down car. The only thing missing was a wet girl in the back seat, seaweed in her hair, desperately scratching at the windshield.
To drive home the point that the Democratic Party is not a moribund carcass with nothing but memories, next year Chelsea Clinton should give the response. Then Hillary, followed by Amy Carter.
Kennedy began by unironically denouncing privilege and celebrity. (As everyone knows, Democrats cannot STAND celebrity!) He then devoted the lion's share of his speech to the Democrats' pet issues: transgenders and foreigners. This is a party so completely insulated from the concerns of normal people that it is now dedicating itself to exotic micro-issues.
Kennedy said:
"As if the parent who lies awake terrified that their transgender son or daughter will be beaten and bullied at school is any more or less legitimate than the parent whose heart is shattered by a daughter in the grips of an opioid addiction."
Once Middle America is reminded that Trump hasn't done anything to address the bullying of transgenders, they'll come to us in droves!
To be fair, the Democrats haven't cared about Middle America for years and are frankly relieved they no longer have to pretend to like losers in flyover country. Their No. 1 priority is dragging in more and more foreigners to vote for them.
Kennedy repeated a slogan from the anti-Trump rallies: "Build a wall and my generation will tear it down." We shouldn't have borders. In fact, it's crazy to have borders!
If JFK could have been brought back to life to see this speech, he would have instantly had young Joe committed to a mental institution.
The Kennedy scion compared the civil rights of African-Americans to the (non-existent) rights of foreigners, assuring viewers that the Democrats are dedicated to protecting everyone, regardless of "the color of your skin" or "the country of your birth."
Being an American means nothing to these citizens of the world.
He denounced the Trump administration for ignoring the "promise" we apparently made to the 7 billion people who are not Americans. How dare we arrogate to ourselves the right to decide "who makes the cut" and becomes our fellow citizen?
Incidentally, which grandee decides who "makes the cut" at the celebrity V.I.P. rooms at Democratic conventions?
Transgenders and foreigners are specialty hobbies, like building ships in a bottle or urban cheese-making. It's as if the big thinkers of the party ran into someone at Burning Man:
What are you working on?
Transgenders!
Oh, that sounds interesting. Can I join you?
Normal American: How about good-paying jobs and putting food on the table?
This is what the Democratic Party has become -- a group of utterly decadent coxcombs, with no concept of economic insecurity and no interest in finding out.
