Trump Trumps or gets Trumped?
It is time to put aside all fear, stop worrying about being
wrong, and make my picks for the Midterm Election results. I note with amusement my liberal friends and
the Main Street Media have adopted the position that in projecting the results
never commit to anything specific. Thus,
they hold to the belief that “it could go either way” and assume we are fools
enough to think they actually picked a winner.
If I had their dismal record in picking winners and losers I
guess I would be gun shy as well but I do not nor am I afraid to go on the
record. What good is writing about
politics and not picking winners? No one
expects predictions to be right and those wrong will just deny it by saying
their words were simply misunderstood.
My belief is neither party will be the winner, nor will the
news media, for the only winner will be that dastardly Trump again. Only a fool like Trump would have the gall to
hijack the Midterm election and make it a referendum on himself.
For once again standing alone while the rest of the world goes
the other way, Trump will Trump in my opinion.
While the margin in the House may be close, the Republicans
will maintain the majority of seats and control the House.
In the Senate the fruits of Trump’s efforts will also pay off
as I expect the final count will reflect an increase in GOP seats from 51 to 54
or 55.
Why do I think that way?
First, the Democrats, pollsters, and news media continue to
use faulty methodology for polling as they do not understand how to account for
the 43% of the population who are registered as Independents. They are underrepresented in most all polls, do
not like Trump's demeanor or attitude, do like Trumps delivery on campaign
promises, and really like his Drain the Swamp attack. These people know better than to trust any
politician, political party, or member of the news media. Results dictate how they will vote, not
promises, personalities nor power. At a minimum
they can make a 4-5% difference in the actual vote.
Second, they fail to understand the bond Trump has made directly
to the people. Since day one of his political
career he has rejected the notion that politics is good, effective, honest or sincere. Trump always speaks directly to people,
either in the audience or at the other end of the television broadcast. As long as he maintains this direct
connection, of which Twitter and pop up news conferences are tools, he can
ignore the constant media efforts to direct the national agenda and try to
influence public opinion in a liberal direction.
My predictions are most likely going to raise the fear and
dread in the news media. They might
shock the Democrats as well but long ago they lost their emotional connection
to the people. Stress levels will be way
up and sales of the anti-depressive drug Prozac should spike when the realization
settles in that Trump’s victory is not at all about the Midterm, he has just laid the groundwork for the 2020 general election.
If the Russia Collusion investigation fades away with no
convictions of Trump insiders, which there will not be, the Prozac intake may increase. Add to that Trump being positioned to greatly
increase his agenda and you can count on a new health care system, (note neither
party has offered an alternative to Obamacare), and trade deals with China and other nations will
make Trump unbeatable in 2020.
For all those who spent the last two years trashing the
President and trying to make life miserable for him, you may need a lot more
than Prozac to get through the next six years. Should that happen the promised Blue Wave may become the Red Sea. If I am right I hope you learn the lesson that when anyone tries to tell
the people who or what they need, you have become expendable to the
public. It is time to hit the Delete button and move on.
