I know...I'm over-reacting, but I think the world was watching our Electoral College. They performed admirably. I didn't have that faith, tell you the truth. I thought the drama would be overwhelming.
But make no mistake. The world was watching, especially our enemies. Destabilization galore. Worst transition, as far as I'm concerned, in modern history. Transitions are meant to be smooth so as not to give our adversaries the mistaken belief that we're at sixes and sevens. We didn't do a very good job this time. And I'm thinking that poor model is going to continue going forward.
Imagine a former president intending to regularly weigh in on decisions made by our new president. Where is the precedent for that? Our transition of power is all ABOUT precedent. What message are we sending to our enemies... to those who would see us falter?
I take heart in that I think the Left's deplorable behavior will cost them... they don't get it.
