The Daily Signal - VDH: Trump Broke the Left and Exposed Their Dirty Playbook

Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the real sources of the Democrats’ rage on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”


“  Why are they so angry? Why isn’t this the old party of Bill Clinton? Or even the party of Barack Obama? One: They have no institutional power. They do not have the House. They do not have the Senate. They do not have the White House. They do not have the Supreme Court. They do not have the issues. There are 30/70, 20/80 issues. And they’re on the wrong side.


“ Put it all together and they’re mad, mad, mad. And they should be because Donald Trump threatens not just to take their power away, but the sources of their power.”
