Squawking Democrats a good laugh

I really enjoyed reading the Opinion page a few days after the election. I have not laughed so hard since I can’t remember when.

All of the “Chicken Little” Democrats came out crying hysterically that the sky is falling and the world is coming to an end.

We heard the same cry when the Republicans whipped Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis.

I bet writers Robert Curran and Mike Rivage-Seul wore out their thesauruses looking for derogatory words to describe Donald Trump and his supporters. I don’t suppose that either of these gentlemen stopped to think that maybe they are the ones who are stupid, and not the Republican voters?

I suppose that is asking too much.
