The Democrats’ Chickens Come Home to Roost
 Now the Resistance gets to pay the price for the past four years.

It is possible that Joe Biden honestly won the election. Alternatively, maybe the Democrats cheated in key vote counts. The thing is, we probably never will know. Unless the courts really delve into the morass, Biden never will have legitimacy. Like Roger Maris’s 61st home run in 162 games that beat Babe Ruth’s record of 60 in 154 games, he always will have an asterisk near his name. He will lack the moral authority to govern.

Had the Democrats accepted the legitimacy of George W. Bush’s clear wins, had they accepted the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s 2016 win, had they comported themselves like a loyal opposition instead of a “Resistance,” the Democrats now would be positioned to enjoy a quadrennium of legitimacy much as they enjoyed during the LBJ, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Obama years. Instead, even if they survive the court challenges, now they will experience what it is to govern with a cloud — a hurricane — of illegitimacy hanging over them.

The majority of Americans do not trust the mainstream left-wing media. Four years of hatchet jobs, defamation, character assassinations, and such leave Independents, no less than conservatives, unable to believe ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, the Washington Post, and the New York Times. For those few who still cling to their doubts but hopes about media credibility, the nonsensical polls sealed the deal. Only die-hards on the left now believe Jake Tapper or Rachel Maddow or their ilk. ...

The Democrats will emerge, at their best, with a somewhat Pyrrhic victory. They dreamt of a Great Blue Wave, and instead they got drenched with a tsunami of their own making. They now pay the price for having sullied the public’s faith in the system. They already are paying the price. ...

Great column!

Many Republicans, deeply disappointed over the presidential vote-counting, overlook that the GOP actually did well on Tuesday night.

Yes it did.  The future is bright, and the President should use this rebuke to focus the next generation of GOP leaders.

Biden never will have legitimacy.... He will lack the moral authority to govern.

This doesn't exactly make me feel better. Even if inaugurated, Joe won't serve as president long enough to matter. The left will see to that, by any means necessary.

It will be interesting to see.   What's the over/under on whether he'll be declared incapacitated within a year and removed as per Pelosi order?

My wife’s Hungarian. The press in Hungary is astounded and dismayed by Biden’s (gasp) lead. They’re wondering if Americans have lost their minds voting for this declining old politician.

Last night we were in Queens, visiting with a Jewish Hungarian family. Photos of Trump and Melania were on his desk, faux news in the background when we came in. He told me Trump enjoys tremendous support in the Jewish community there. This is New York we’re talking about, Jews were solid dem voters!

Well, whatever happens next, Trump’s message got through. He expanded the republican voting base and the party owes him a debt of gratitude at the very least, if not owe him strong support in his efforts to expose the steal.
