Those of us who honored the America of the Founders sensed....whether we verbalized it or not.....the end of the civilization of faith, and of the individual, of the city on the hill.
The corrupt and iniquitous seem to be in the majority with no possible change in the offing....
October 25, 2016...NYTimes gave Hillary 93% chance of winning the election.
2016 Election Forecast: Who Will Be President?
Since the election......
1. "The entire febrile effort to delegitimize President Donald Trump continues to be based on the ability of the Trump-hating press to confect or unveil a Trumpocidal deus ex machina every two weeks.
2. The optimism about defeating [Kavanaugh] is fading, and the sobering passage of a few days is melting the ardent hope that the fragile and completely uncorroborated account of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford would sink that candidacy. The last-trench defense on that subject is already filled with the retreating forces of the anti-Trump press. The smooth-faced talking heads are earnestly wagging in unison across the channels as they find the judge’s lack of a “judicial temperament” to be “concerning.”
3. ...this cause célèbre evaporates like so many others, from Warsaw to Charlottesville to Pyongyang to Helsinki, the Trump presidency will be brought down by the New York Times’ disclosure of a supposed tax fraud by Mr. Trump involving hundreds of millions of dollars. The president has been constantly subjected to tax audits for nearly 40 years. This is another clunker, after so many.
4. ...the Republican majority in the Senate is holding and that Judge Kavanaugh will be confirmed by Saturday.
5. ...it will be a cliffhanger in the midterms in both houses.
It won’t in the Senate, where there is minimal chance of avoiding some Republican gains, but the fact that the learned anti-Trump clarion call has become so faint is a persuasive barometer of the pre-electoral weather.
6. With less than five weeks to go before the midterm elections, and the president running the most strenuous midterm-election campaign in history, his enemies are desperately grasping at anything that might avert the confirmation of the Trump ascendancy.
7. Just as he calculated that by speaking for all those who despised the entire incumbent political system he could win the Republican nomination, ... he is now exploiting the fact that there is no leader of the opposition in the American system, and between presidential elections he has no rival.
8. The likely outcome is the most favorable midterm result since Franklin D. Roosevelt won nine additional congressional districts and gained nine senators in 1934. Even now, though the bunk about impeachment has subsided, Mr. Trump’s enemies have little idea of how profoundly hated the OBushinton era, 1989 to 2017, had become, as a time of sleaze and incompetence and stagnation.
9. Now, in what is practically a full-employment economy, wages for the least well-paid are rising. ....it is the first time people in that economic bracket have had real increases of purchasing power and the lack of fear of joblessness in more than 20 years.
10. If Judge Kavanaugh is confirmed and the Republicans hold both houses of the Congress, it will be the greatest and swiftest accession to comprehensive power in all branches of American government in history. A measurement of how the tide has shifted is the disappearance from public consciousness of the Mueller inquiry. The number of Trump-haters who are still clinging to that waterlogged life-vest is statistically trivial.
11. It was just six weeks ago, ...that Mr. Trump’s enemies ululated their triumph and proclaimed, in the words of one often-published Trump-hater, that “The fat lady is singing; it’s almost over.”
She wasn’t, and it isn’t.
It has only just begun, and it will get better.
12. President Trump isn’t an aberrant interlude; he is a sea change. He has a mandate to clean up Washington and he plans to fulfill it."
Trump Is Set To Advance After K-Vote
Can I get an 'Amen'!!!!!!
