The geographic distribution is pretty obvious, but I wondered who were the non coastal boycotters of the Constitutional change of power the Founders designed.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill. CHICAGO
Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky. LOUISVILLE
Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio Cleveland-Akron
Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-Mo. ST LOUIS
Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn. MEMPHIS
Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis. MADISON, U WI
Perfect picture of the Democratic party. The coasts and scattered large urban centers.
This precedent of refusing participation even before there a govt to object to will by far outlast anything any of these Democratic Party RADICALS LEFTISTS perform in service, and whose Bolshevik-like refusal to be a part at SOME LEVEL, and at least do honor to the Founders ideas as larger than any immediate need or cause, have marked themselves as those to whom DIVISION is by far more important than COMPROMISE (the essence of governance in a civil, DIVERSE system).
This will be remembered by others on the right, and the worst thing is, I can hardly blame them

The Israelites were commanded not to remove the ancient boundary stones. Essentially, honor your traditions.
A nation without traditions is a nation which will crumble.
Even when Obama came in - twice - I knew enough to honor the tradition, the pageantry associated with this event. It is not all about me. It is about our nation.
Those who respond against the tradition do not really, really love our nation. They are in love with their point of view.
Blame the press. Who also love themselves. Who cares if one member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir does not want to sing at the Inauguration. This is not news. Who cares if the Rabbi of Hagerstown, Maryland refuses a part at the National Cathedral. This is not news. These are individuals with over-inflated sense of self.
I've been ignoring all this anti-Trump hysteria in the hope that Trump will, like Reagan, do EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID HE IS GOING TO DO, thereby completely unmasking the Left.
As I have said before, I was a Leftie. I dutifully hated Reagan. But the level of cognitive dissonance involved in continuing to hate Reagan, even after he offered to give Star Wars technology to the Soviets (technology which the Left claimed was offensive in nature, but was obviously primarily defensive in nature) was like Sisyphus pushing a rock up a mountain; it became more and more difficult as time went on.
If Trump rebuilds inner cities, builds a wall, pardons DREAMERS (or gives them a reasonable path to citizenship), revitalizes the economy, allows Transgender people to be what they are without anger or criticism (as he already does in his life) doesn't do ANYTHING AGAINST GAYS, and pushes back at Jihad without demonizing true Moderate Muslims who are already citizens of the US, then what is the Left going to say???
I believe he will do these things.
I believe he will be harrangued at every stop by Democrats.
And I believe they will be unmasked in the process.
Two years after Reagan left office, when the Soviet Union fell, just as he said it would, THAT was the coup de grace.
Watch for Saudi Arabia and Iran to similarly fall, IF Trump does what he says he's going to do.
Of course, Leftists STILL hate Reagan, but nowadays, they actually attempt to compare their own heroes to him:
