On the heels of victory

We had momentum after the elections on Tuesday, and the chatter in the media is an important commodity.

There is a way to monopolize this space again, so I submit a modest proposal -- Senator Schumer, please resign your leadership position. That'll get 'em talking.

Would you have asked Napoleon to resign after Austerlitz, or Alexander the Great after the battle of Gaugamela? I think not!

Don't you recognized strategic genius in its purest form when you see it? This was 4D chess at its absolute finest. Sure, on the surface, it looks an awful lot like a humiliating cave-in and a complete betrayal of alleged principles and stated goals, but that's the sort of hyper-simplistic interpretation reserved solely for the genuinely naive, uninitiated, and hydrocephalic. This was brilliance on a truly awe-inspiring scale, seldom seen by mortals and the divinely eternal alike.

Can you imagine the sheer terror that must be gripping Trump and the reTHugs tonight? Just imagine them, lying in their beds, staring up at plaster-chipped ceilings, apprehensively biting their lower lips wondering how will they ever survive future confrontations with a foe this cunning and courageous.

Chuck Schumer, resign?...Pfttt!

BTW, do I really need to insert a sarcasm thingy here?
