Democrats have two options: 1) #theresistance; or 2) get in the game.

That scene you saw at the moment President Trump ended his speech to a joint session of Congress was the Democrats abandoning the ship of state.

Like the progressive street demonstrations endured by the country the past four weeks, we may assume Congresss Democratic delegation organized their post-speech bolt to the exits via the famous social-media hashtag #TheResistance.

During the speechs most extraordinary moment, the tribute to Carryn Owens, wife of slain SEAL Ryan Owens, one notable Democrat who refused to stand was Rep. Keith Ellison, who just lost a close race for Democratic National Committee chairman to Obama Labor Secretary Thomas Perez, also a man of the left.

Youd have thought that at the two-thirds point, when Mr. Trump hadnt self-destructed as expected, when instead he was looking less like Alec Baldwin and more like President Trump, that Chuck Schumer might have pulled out his smartphone to tweet the troops, Walkout maybe not a good idea. Not this crew. En masse, they went over the side, just as theyve refused to attend hearings for cabinet nominees and voted as a bloc against virtually all of them.

Donald Trump extended an olive branch on key legislative issues, and the Democrats gave him the you-know-what. In fact, the party might consider making you-know-what its new logo because Mr. Trump has stolen their mascot, the Democratic donkey.

The donkey was the creation of Democrat Andrew Jackson, whose portrait hangs now in Republican Donald Trumps Oval Office. Jacksons opponents called him a jackass, which he transformed into a badge of honor by putting the jackass on his campaign posters.
