Democrats need to get past their hysteria and move on

November 9, 2016 | 9:34pm



Tuesday’s surprise loss has Democrats in disbelief and denial — clawing for excuses, predicting Armageddon and refusing to accept the results. It’s unhealthy.

A nation in need of unity and healing won’t benefit from hashtag campaigns like #HesNotMyPresident. Or from Whoopi Goldberg endorsing Van Jones’ claim that the result is a “nightmare,” “a ‘whitelash’ . . . against a black president.”

Dems can’t start to get their act back together if they bother with silly columns insisting that Trump’s win proves the country is “racist at its core” and the election was a “contest” of “male vs. female.”

Reality check: Trump scored slightly less of the white vote than Mitt Romney — and higher percentages of blacks and Latinos. And women voted for him at about the same rate as they did for Romney in 2012 and John McCain in 2008. Is every presidential election a war between the sexes?

Academia sees Armageddon, too. Campuses across the land saw classes canceled and “support” sessions slated. “Many among us feel hurt and fearful today,” wrote NYU Law School Dean Trevor Morrison, inviting students to gather with “diversity” and “inclusion” officials.

Hello? It was a presidential election. They come every four years.

Face facts, folks: “Make America Great Again” had a lot more meaning in the key states than “I’m With Her.” Too many Americans had had enough of being lectured by self-appointed betters.

Hillary Clinton pointed the right way forward in her gracious concession Wednesday: “Our nation is more deeply divided than we thought,” she said, “but I still believe in America, and I always will. If you do, then we must accept this result.”

And: “Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power — and we don’t just respect those, we cherish it.”

President Obama echoed those words, adding: “We are now all rooting for [Trump’s] success.”

Clinton and Obama got it right. Time to accept the results — and move on.

When is Whoopie moving maybe she needs help packing.

Clinton did not really say that. What she said was "don't stop fighting for what you believe". That's what these stupid protesters think they are doing, they think they are fighting for what they believe in. Unfortunately, they are once again. rebels without a cause. "I'm illegal, I want to stay, therefore you should die because you're white." THAT IS NOT A CAUSE IN THE UNITED STATES.
