Wow, you NTers are downers. I do not think the caravan will reach our border. If it does, it will not be allowed in. You can apologize when all is said and done.
I'm not the downer, reality is. In 5 days most people expect the GOP to add a seat, a couple or maybe more in the Senate. The House looks like a toss up but the GOP is expected to loses seats in the House, State Governors, State legislatures, and State legislators. Few expect President Trump to be in a better position next week after the election, and Mueller, and in my opinion Trump has done little to deserve more support from his enablers in the GOP. They have so far done nothing to keep his worse impulses in check. Last week he applauded Gianforte for his assault on Ben Jacobs. He's pretty much destroyed the party for me. I understand that others don't see him as the miserable failure I see.
But let us consider the silent majority rises up, like it never has before, and adds GOP seats in the House and Senate. Since the Senate was nuked, do a couple more GOP Senators and Congressmen do anything for Trump? Do you foresee the rats rolling over? How good does the blue wave have to be to accomplish a better next two years? I dunno. I'm thinking a lot, but you keep on believing and don't let me bring you down.
What do I know
@Emjay ? I got it wrong last election, and I understand that a campaign of Build a Wall (bill Mexico), Lock up Hitlery, Drain the Swamp, Repeal Obamacare, Reduce the Deficit and all the other Trump accomplishments (like increasing the tax on goods poor people buy) looks appealing to today's conservatives. and I admit, I don't think the rats can do better, but I don't want what the GOP offers either. If you're loving the last two years...never been happier, I'm happy for you.
The good news for me is I'm going to be happy no matter the outcome. I think neither party deserves power and I will take comfort that a rat or a Republican lost a seat.
It maybe just my opinion but I think a big problem for Trump is he doesn't have a comparable villain to spare against this round. Trump is on the ticket. The rats and Trump's own vanity have assured that, but Hitlery isn't...and it's not like Trump can plausibly demagogue Russia or North Korea, even though they remain huge threats. So Trump searches for a boogeyman in a caravan of the poor...but the overt racist overtures have a limited appeal for many people who don't shave their heads, or cheer on refugee minors in cages.
Neither side is worth my support.
Please remind me if, or when, the caravan gets turned around at the border. I might be building a underground shelter in the yard. I'm not sure why an apology is necessary. Could you please advise on the form? I honestly don't know if you expect an apology for a wrong prediction that preceded your prediction, or did you take umbrage for expressing my opinion. Thanx for the reply. I enjoyed writing this.
