Tony Boutin: Those defeated in politics never learned art of losing

To The Daily Sun,

There's indeed good cause to fear for the survival of this country. It seems the losers in politics never learned the art of losing with good manners like those competing in sports. The first thing a great coach teaches is how to lose with grace and dignity. Every loss is seen through the lens of a learning experience. That's not the way hate-consumed sour grapes loser Democrats see things. "Make Trump and America fail". That's the Democrats' new slogan. What a disgusting example that is for our children. Is this the behavior taught in civics class by educators that lean overwhelmingly liberal by political affiliation.

Donald Trump was elected with the greatest number of votes of any republican in history. He ran as an aggressive outspoken, transformational figure following countless decades of lack luster presidents. Leaders that did little to change the direction of a nation drifting into oblivion outwitted by agile competitors who would indeed harm us. Never did that downturn happen faster than during Joe Biden's tenure as president.

Now comes Robert Reich, a pompous, elbow patch professor, extremist liberal, nut job and weekly contributor to this paper yelling for nationwide strikes and civil unrest. Actions to ensure Trump's initiatives fail. A platform of changes the majority of voters put Trump in office to enact. Instigating civil unrest leads to civil disobedience. Reich's screams lead to one outcome, full blown civil war. Yells driven solely and totally by a hate-filled, sour grapes political writer that never learned how to lose with grace and honor.
