N.J. Congresswoman, skipping Trump’s inaugural, could actually learn a few things from him!

Bonnie Watson Coleman

There are too many stupid people saying too many stupid things about President-elect Donald Trump on the eve of his inauguration to keep track of it all, Save Jerseyans.

You’d need one of those NASA supercomputers to accomplish the task.

We’ll focus for a moment on our resident fool — Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D, NJ-12) — who wants everyone to know that she’s skipping Trump’s Friday swearing in ceremony. The total count of congressional crybabies is approaching (or over) 40, depending on the source. At the moment, she’s the only member of New Jersey’s caucus declaring she’ll skip. Cory Booker (D-Twitter) is even attending likely out of fear of missing a camera.

Her alternative plan is some sort of hokey, PC “interfaith” prayer vigil.

She won’t be missed. Neither will her comrades. It’s nevertheless her loss because New Jersey’s only female federal legislator could learn a thing or two from the Donald.

For starters? That charity starts at home and not on a soapbox.

Bonnie Watson Coleman

Trump is a good father if not always a wonderful spouse or, when flouting his public persona, a perfect role model.

Bonnie’s record on the home front isn’t quite so sterling. Her sons spent years in prison for an armed robbery at the Mercer Mall Kids R Us back in the early 2000s. In 2014, one of those sons received a position as a laborer with the Mercer County Parks Commission.

Trump raised his kids to value hard work.

Bonnie’s kids screwed up (big league) and, at least in one instance, leveraged mom’s political power into a patronage job.

Think I’m making this too personal? Okay, but I’m also not the one boycotting a guy who hasn’t even taken the oath of office yet, am I?

Everything is personal to the Left because every position is a carefully-calculated attempt to manipulate emotions, something the Trumpster kind of used against them in 2016.  They’ve made this a question of the person, of character, so the mirror is rightly held in front of their own faces, too, for some much needed and long-overdue self-examination.

Frankly, for all his sins, Bonnie’s district could use 10,000 fathers of Donald Trump’s quality. Take a drive through it! Trenton, for instance, would be in much better shape for having a Donald on every block. Trump has certainly put a larger number of minority citizens to work than Rep. Coleman and her ilk could ever hope to achieve.

“The Trump family that I know is, without question, one of the most generous, compassionate and philanthropic families I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing and the honor to call friends,” black Trump Organization executive Lynne Patton shared back during the election. “They have been incredibly loyal to me and to the countless dedicated people they employ around the world – hiring more minority and female executives than any other company for which I’ve ever worked.”

The comparative analysis is devastating, Save Jerseyans.

In the rush to save themselves from the cultural police’s ever-arbitrary ‘racist’ label, those defending Rep. John Lewis, Watson Coleman and their like-minded colleagues this week are missing the point: Trump’s right if not as articulate as I’d like….

What has the Democrat Party (Lewis and Bonnie included) done for black America lately? And by lately, I mean the last few decades?

Even relative to the Trump Organization, a comparatively tiny organism when measured side-by-side to the U.S. government?

Reconsider your decision, Congresswoman.

Not for your own sake, but for the people who foolishly rely on your for leadership. You owe them an open mind in light of your past failures to provide a meaningful, positive example for real change in their lives. Trump can’t fail as badly as your party has over, and over, and over again. That’s his ace in the hole moving forward. It’s the truth you hope your constituents continue to miss.
