Today’s items confirm the wisdom of the new POTUS’s methodology of keeping his opponents occupied on meaningless tripe, such as non-existent Russian interchanges and accusations of wiretapping by his predecessor.

One of the fruits of his efforts at getting Democrat leaders to chase their tails on distractions can be seen in an article by Bill Mears @FoxNews.com, yesterday reporting that: “President Trump's choice to sit on the Supreme Court will get his turn in the political spotlight Monday after laying low for weeks. But what has traditionally been a high-profile confirmation fight is approaching with barely a whimper from the opposition party.

“While Democratic leaders have revived their public criticism of Neil Gorsuch in recent days, liberal advocacy groups have all but abandoned efforts to defeat his nomination through public opinion -- with scant paid issue advertising or public rallies.” 

And the reason that efforts have been abandoned is: “Many progressives lament Democratic senators have been distracted by other ideological fights.” 

While the ceaseless leftist efforts to harass, demean and belittle the POTUS are certainly tiring in their own right, another quite frustrating aspect of Trump’s modus operandi is not only his continual denial of claims made against him, but that he is almost always ultimately proven to be correct in the end.      

An example of such vindication can be seen in another Fox piece saying: “Former interim Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile admitted Friday that she forwarded Democratic primary town hall questions to members of Hillary Clinton's campaign – something she had previously denied. 

“In an essay for Time published Friday, called “Russian DNC Narrative Played Out Exactly As They Hoped,” the Democratic strategist said she had in fact passed on topics, despite saying she had not when her communications with the campaign were leaked by WikiLeaks in October. 

“[I]n October, a subsequent release of emails revealed that among the many things I did in my role as a Democratic operative and D.N.C. Vice Chair prior to assuming the interim D.N.C. Chair position was to share potential town hall topics with the Clinton campaign,” she wrote.”

With the preceding two quite favorable occurrences already having taken place on Friday, the new POTUS was then given another advantageous opportunity when he appeared in a  'Watters' World' interview to be aired on Fox at 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 

Being asked by the host who he would” fire” gave him the chance to respond in kind to Schumer, CNN’s Jeff Zucker and Alec Baldwin, all of whom vilify, insult and debase him continually. However, he chose instead to reply quite presidentially, saying:  

"Chuck I'm very disappointed in, because he's a guy who should make deals for the people. Not as a Democrat or Republican. 

“Trump stated that he got Jeff Zucker his job at CNN and described the cable news network as "fake news."  

"I think the Alec Baldwin situation is not good," Trump said. "The portrayal of me is ridiculous." 

“On the subject of whether he believes that former President Obama wants him to succeed, Trump said: "Well, you know, he's been very nice to me personally. But his people haven't been nice and there's great animosity out there. There's great anger. Leaking is just one example of it. ... So, while he's nice personally there doesn't seem to be a lot of nice things happening behind the scenes. And that's unfortunate." 

Thus, although he made his points quite clearly, succinctly exposing the four antagonists for what they are, Trump himself came across as a mature gentleman and subtly Reaganesque.

All of which means that as quoted above, if it’s true that “[m]any progressives lament Democratic senators have been distracted by other ideological fights,” it won’t be too long in the future that the new POTUS will totally exhaust and simply overrun their whole party.
 
That’s it for today folks.
