They were up against a small minority of one half of one-third of the Congress and they got \u2014 they lost everything. They got routed. Look, this was their Agincourt, you know, Henry V outnumbered by the French, three to one. The opposition, the liberals, hold the Senate. They hold the White House. They hold the media, which had been leaking and parroting the White House line all the way through, and they still got defeated.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 90px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/th782.photobucket.com\/albums\/yy107\/hyperbolemedia\/th_charles-krauthammer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"90\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charles Krauthammer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI think this is sort of a pathetic response.

Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible.
