In one of my previous blog posts I have tried to illuminate the series of crushing election defeats the Democrats have suffered under the eight years of the Obama Presidency.
It stands to reason that some, if not a significant number of, Democrat members of the U.S. Congress will finally come to their senses and abandon some of these socialist, defeatist policies of the past that the Democratic Party so espoused and cherished.
“Several Senate Democrats broke with President Obama and sided with President-Elect Donald Trump in a bipartisan rebuke of the administration’s decision to allow a controversial United Nations Security Council resolution dictating an end to Israeli settlements to pass Friday.
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware and incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York issued statements Friday in which they rejected Obama’s support of the U.N. resolution. The senators’ statements came the day after Trump called for a veto of the resolution that would put “Israel in a very poor negotiating position” and be “extremely unfair to all Israelis” in their dealings with Palestine.”
