Can Insanity Succeed?

Can Insanity Succeed? | Power Line:
CAN INSANITY SUCCEED?
"...There is, of course, no constitutional crisis. 
But the Democrats are going beyond the usual hyperbole. 
Shockingly, their just-defeated vice-presidential nominee, Tim Kaine, is urging the party’s faithful to make like Brownshirts:
[A]s protests against Trump’s executive order continued in spots around the country, the recent Democratic vice-presidential candidate urged Americans to “fight in the streets” over the new president’s policies. “What we’ve got to do is fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box,” Sen. Tim Kaine told MSNBC Tuesday.
I don’t believe any major American political figure has previously urged his followers to fight in the streets; not since the Civil War, certainly. 
Things may be about to get even more dangerous for Americans who dare to show their support for our duly-elected president, and for our democracy.
It probably is true that the Dems have a strategy. 
They certainly have message discipline, which is half-way to a strategy. 
But as President Trump fulfills one campaign pledge after another, surprising only the most cynical, the Democrats, to a person, are reacting like toddlers denied a second helping of ice cream. 
What they need is a good spanking.
At the polls, I mean. The Democratic Party has been in decline for a number of election cycles. 
The verdict on the Democrats’ strategy of synchronized hysteria will be rendered in November 2018. 
My guess is that after two years, most voters will have seen enough of the Democrats’ vileness. 
Watch for the Democrats to slide nearer to irrelevance in 22 months."
