The Great Temper Tantrum of 2017
by William Moss
It may well be that 2017 will go down in history as “The Year of the Great Temper Tantrum.” With less than 48 hours until the Inauguration of Donald J. Trump America’s 45th President, 66 Democrat Legislators are saying they will not attend the Inauguration. They say that the feel the President Elect is not a legitimate President. This is a slap in the face of the American voters who elected him. Many of those voters are Democrats who crossed party lines to board the Trump Train. One would think after their devastating losses across the boards on both state and federal levels they would be trying to rethink their position to win back voters. However, instead they are digging in even if they bury themselves and the Democrat Party with them. This could well be the end of the Democrat Party if they continue to ignore the will of the people and alienate fellow Democrats. While these pundits may increase their favor in their districts they run the risk of losing votes in other parts of the country which could well cost more legislative seats in the next election..
