SIX DAYS – AT 11:52 A.M. ET:  In six days we will have a new president.  You'd never know it.  Every attempt is being made to delegitimize Donald Trump's victory.  As you may recall, the same tactics were used against George W. Bush in 2000.  Only Republican presidents are illegitimate. 

To be a liberal these days is to believe that democracy only exists when your side wins.  If someone else wins, there must be a conspiracy.  It goes hand in hand with the vast corruption that liberalism has become.  Liberals have lost touch with the people of the United States, and, following Barack Obama's example, don't feel those people are worthy of their attention anyway. 

The latest dustup started with "civil rights icon" John Lewis, a mediocre black congressman from Georgia, declaring Trump "illegitimate."  After all, the Russians tried to influence our election, something they've been doing since 1917.

Trump, unwisely, took the bait, accurately denouncing Lewis in a tweet, and pointing out that Lewis's congressional district is crime ridden.  He advised Lewis to pay attention to that.

Now we have an uproar.  How dare anyone attack John Lewis.  One doesn't do that in polite society.  And so the tweets are coming, and by Friday Donald Trump will be labeled a racist...again.  It's the only thing liberals have left.  They've lost at every electoral level.

Oh, by the way, Human Rights Watch, a hard-left international organization that reserves most of its venom for Israel, has now declared Trump a threat to human freedom. (The people of Syria could not be reached for comment.) 

And, as we've reported, a well-fed conference of international nothings will meet in Paris to tomorrow to make a statement on settling the Arab-Israel dispute.  John Kerry will attend and have dessert.  It's being made very clear that the real purpose of the meeting is to put pressure on our incoming administration.  Not exactly friendly.  I hope Trump is making a list and checking it twice. 

It's going to be a tough road ahead.  The antidote to this poison is results.  Good results.  If Trump can deliver, the madness may just start to melt away.
