"the most dangerous place in Washington is between Charles Schumer and a television camera"I remember well, the pair of New York senators, Hillary Clinton and Mr. Schumer, disrespectfully, giggling like school children during a George W. Bush State of the Union Address.
Schumer is a Democrat first, as is evidenced by this error, suggesting that his followers do not want what the President-elect promises, even when that promise is an improvement in national pride.
The Democrat's rejection of a goal to be great reveals an odd dichotomy in that party. Why would not a person or party want to be a part of something great? Often statements of that ilk are characterized by progressives as being against the interests of its followers, but how? Is there a presumption that the goal of greatness is intended for a group smaller than the whole?
For me, the promise to be great is only part of a speech by a politician. Never will all citizens feel we are great and never will the opposite be true, it is just talk, and to get wound up about it is a waste of time. That said as a businessman, Donald Trump understands the need for projecting a positive image, it is a means of generating excitement and the inciting a desire to make positive movement. How is that bad?
