They are comforting themselves with moral victories, but for Democrats, there have been no concrete wins so far in their showdowns with the Trump administration.
The Senate vote Tuesday confirming Betsy DeVos as education secretary was the latest example, with the minority party holding all its own troops and even gaining the support of some Republicans — and still falling short in their bid to thwart President Trump.
It’s not for lack of trying. Democrats staged a rally outside the Supreme Court last week to protest Mr. Trump’s executive order for extreme vetting at ports of entry for people from seven Muslim-majority nations. They also mounted feverish opposition to nearly all of the president’s Cabinet picks, forcing record delays and denying him his team.
They also have helped increase Mr. Trump’s approval rating, which stands at 54 percent, up nearly 10 points since just after his inauguration.
But Republicans powered through their budget, and each of Mr. Trump’s nominees has been approved thanks to the lower threshold Democrats created in 2013 to help President Obama....

I guess it’s time to burn a few more cities right Soros?
And the DNC’s 9th Circus is going to take another hit when SCOTUS gets a hold of the immigration case they screwed up.
IMHO, Trump is in office because God has decided to give our precious country another chance. I, for one, am extremely humbled by this and give thanks to God for this. We came so, so close to going over the edge.
Here’s to the liberals who seem to really enjoy swimming upstream.
The usual suspects: Sens. Lisa Murkowski(AK) and Susan Collins(ME).
Why is nothing being done about Soros? Is hindering the president in performing his duty as chief executive protected by the First Amendment?
At this moment I think the Soros backed mayhem is very politically beneficial for us. Let them drop their facade and show exactly who the progressive democrats are. They democrats have adopted violence, racism, riots, looting, and they own it. They can’t hide it and people are sick of it. There is NO WAY a majority of citizens want to flood this nation with potentially dangerous refugees. NO WAY a majority supports their taxes paying for illegal aliens. NO WAY citizens look at Mogadishu on the Mississippi and want that in their neighborhoods. NO WAY a majority of people look at riots, protests, and looting as legitimate opposition.
