In a Panic, Republicans and NYT Call For Trump to Drop Out After Conviction On 34 Felony Counts [1]

Oh wait…that didn’t happen.



Donald Trump got convicted for 34 felonies. Did Republicans run to microphones panicked? Did editorial pages tell him to drop out?

No, they circled the wagons because exactly what is happening now would have happened to Trump. The sharks would have started circling. (The entire campaign and DNC should be fired for the decision to not go on an all out attack after the conviction).



And right on cue, The New York Times calls for the President to drop out.

Of course, they are big mad because the President won’t sit down for an interview and I bet they are using this as leverage. What a terrible company and publisher!

(Note to you holdouts, now would be a good time to end those subscriptions to the gaming company pretending to be a journalistic endeavor)

In any event, it’s an absolute terrible moment for the elected members of the Democratic Party talking to reporters off the record, part of a party that has traditionally been looked at as weak, as the party that will cut and run at the first sign of trouble.

The Patriots were down 28-3, the Warriors were down 3-1. Did they just give up?

No, they pulled themselves up and kept fighting. They didn’t give their opponents a free run at a championship. They didn’t throw in the towel.

Boxers are trained to bounce on their toes or even smile after they've been hit hard so that the judges won't think that the opponent scored a blow. It's called smiling through the face of adversity.

Elected Democrats….you are turning off swing voters that weren’t turned off. And even if they were, you are reinforcing the worst of your reputation. Now is the moment to change that forever!

Buck up. Get a spine. And step into the ring to fight for this democracy…give Americans a reason to believe you have strength.
