OBSCURES TO REALITY

Want to know how to accurately define elitist political contempt?

Daniel Henninger is one of the WSJ's big shot editorial page gurus. His regularly appearing column is titled, "Wonderland." Well, you don't have to wonder any longer where he's coming from.

Henninger is one of those elitists who symbolizes in one mind all those epithets he and his editorial gang like to hurl at those who disagree with them. This time around it happens to be Trump and his supporters. But just to set the record crystal clear one more time, we're not Trump supporters. Nor have we ever contributed one depreciating U.S. dollar to either of these fraudulent groups called political parties in a lifetime.

Discussing Kasich's Ohio primary victory over Trump last Tuesday, Henninger, in "Kasich's Art of the Deal," writes:

Mr. Kasich's Ohio win Tuesday did elevate in stark terms whether Mr. Trump's appeal in November in crucial Northern swing states would ever grow much beyond his lower middle-class Republican base."

Despite claims to the contrary, obviously Mr. Henninger and his fellows travelers of the conservative Republican tribe don't really give a damn about their "lower-middle class Republican base" or what they might want or believe they need.

Now we don't reside in the Midwest. We're out here in Lala Land, the home of more liberal left wing Democrats than one would find at a national Democrat convention. The people we converse with, businessmen and women, professionals, are hardly lower middle class, though surprisingly many with middle American roots however distant.

Those who are brave enough to wear their Republican lapel pins in public in general don't seem to have many good things to say about their current Republican Party, the one Henninger and his gang are so frantically trying to preserve. Funny thing is, some of the Democrats we speak with, hardly lower-middle class ones, seem to have a similar view of their own party.

Trump supporters--at least those brave enough to articulate it in public--come in all sizes, shapes and classes, a point the Henningers on the planet either can't or don't want to grasp. There are many more who will only reveal that fact in private. They're hardly stupid or uneducated, whatever that passes for today. And it might surprise Mr. Henninger that many of these people are not Caucasian, don't own any weapons and actually like other human beings of all races and so forth, proving another point.

Henninger and his clan are more out of touch with reality than those astronauts that recently returned from living nearly a year in outer space. But, then again, that's what living in, breathing in and believing in that ratified editorial air does: Obscures one to reality.
