Democrats are suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and pressing ahead with their misguided mission to take down President Donald Trump – despite the fact it will end in serious losses for them in the 2018 elections, veteran political writer Ed Klein told Newsmax TV.
"I think they're all demented – absolutely demented," Klein, former editor-in-chief of The New York Times Magazine and author of "Guilty as Sin: Uncovering New Evidence of Corruption and How Hillary Clinton and the Democrats Derailed the FBI Investigation" told host Bill Tucker on Tuesday's "America Talks Live."
"This 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' that they're victims of . . . is leading them down a path that I think will ultimately be a disaster in 2018.
"Because I think the vast majority of Americans – not only on the East and West coasts but throughout America – realize that the Democrats have absolutely nothing to offer except no, no, no to Donald Trump."

Klein called the Democrats' targeting of Trump "a real threat to our democracy."
"[It's a] refusal to look at the results of an election and accept it," he told Tucker. "We've done that since Thomas Jefferson and [John] Adams 226 years ago. We've accepted the squeaker kind of elections and moved on. The Democrats seem to be incapable of doing that.
"I think there are a lot of wimps in Congress on the Democratic side who are being forced or pushed or impelled by their base . . ."
