Pauken: Preparing for a turbulent four years

From the Right: Former Republican Party of Texas Chairman Tom Pauken argues that Trump’s detractors are the reason the next four years will be rough

During the campaign for the presidency, the major media was relentless in its attacks on Donald Trump. Reading the Washington Post daily, I couldn’t believe the news coverage. It was one anti-Trump story after story. The reporters didn’t even bother to disguise what clearly were opinion pieces passing for news. “Racist”, “sexist”, “anti-Semite” were just some of the charges leveled against Trump during the campaign.

Yet, in spite of massive media opposition to him and “nevertrump” Republicans who did all they could to defeat him, Trump overcame the odds and pulled a stunning upset to win the presidency.

In an effort to bring the country together, Trump gave a conciliatory victory speech. He even said the Clintons had suffered enough and he wouldn’t pursue criminal charges against Hillary Clinton.

That obviously wasn’t good enough for the elites who had invested so much in Clinton’s election.
