DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

John Hinderaker peeks behind the curtain.

In a remarkable display of unity, the nation’s news media have suspended coverage of the FBI scandal, our booming economy, progress on North Korea, etc., to focus single-mindedly on the plight of children who are temporarily separated from their parents as a consequence of their illegal entry into the U.S. I personally have no problem with enforcing the immigration laws, as the President is sworn to do. But the Democrats evidently believe they have struck the mother lode in their ceaseless quest for political advantage.

This exercise on the part of the Chattering class has two objectives:

1. Scare Cuckroach Republicans and ThoughtDeviant Crustians into joining the chorus;
2. Get low-information voters to vote for Democrats in the mid-term elections.

Nr 1 typically works with Ordinary Politicians (Bushes, of course, and people like McCain and Romney) but hasn’t worked so far on Trump so it’s hard to know what they hope to accomplish; if insanity is doing the same thing over and over hoping for a different result This Time, then ‘derangement’ is a clinically accurate diagnosis.

Nr 2 may or may not work — only time will tell. I suppose it depends on whether they can keep the pot boiling on this topic until closer to the election. Trump has historically demonstrated a talent for sucking all the air out of DemLegHump Media crusades before, and I’m waiting to see how he handles this one.

The whole point is to get elected and appointed officials to cave to the mob. With Trump like a rock behind them, which is what appears to be happening, this may not work the way it has in the past. I doubt they can keep it up for the next two-and-a-bit years, and that’s how long Trump has in the driver’s seat.

Pass the popcorn.
