Trump foes rudderless

We watch with great curiosity and humor at the news media of our big city to the west — Spokane. We see in The Spokesman-Review and Inlander, impotent reactions to terrorists, temper tantrums, lunatic stances and rudderless diatribes taken by our liberal friends there. We see the endless attacks on our president as a form of insanity and directionless hate we believe will be easily beaten in voting booths for the congressional and presidential elections.

To continue to attempt to gain the White House and Congress without a platform didn’t work in 2016, and we see that it doesn’t work now. Meaningless foaming at the mouth in hatred for President Trump without new ideas seems like political suicide, but, we don’t wish sanity on your numbers.

Please continue to quiver and shake about President Trump. It seems to be giving your numbers some sort of odd satisfaction. Honestly, we do miss a “loyal opposition.” Your promotion of good alternatives would be best for America.
