      Well, my fingers are crossed that we get some kind of firewall against Democrats going on tilt and screwing up the economy, taxes, and immigration.  If that’s just the senate than so be it.

      At this point I’m hopeful that Trump can pull a rabbit out of his hat and get reelected, but my brain, influenced by a lot of media, says Biden is going to be the next president. And, then Kamala of course because joe is is rapid mental decline to anyone who cares to see it.  She will prove to be the least respected and effective president of all time, but she checks a lot of boxes.

        Kamala just endorsed equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity.  Full-on Marxism.  Great stuff.

          Unbelievable. Straight communist. How did we get here.

      You admit to being influenced by the MSM.  That surprises me.  If they say it, it must be true?  I most times think exactly the opposite is true.

      If Trump has jumped to a 7 point lead in a midwest state, I do not think it happened in a vacuum and that Iowa is a singular anomaly.

        Beaten down may be a better summary than influenced. I lack your confidence but not your hope, Rock.

      Fascinating to me Rocky, is how the Democrat money advantage/media buy is playing out.

      The money advantage is clear. The soft touch Biden ads promoting character, unity & “day 1” steps to battle the virus are seen frequently across a broad range of media. To me however the content seems dated. The spots seem as though they have been in the can for weeks, perhaps months; certainly pre debate 2.

      Compare that with the Trump strategy. The Trump stump can be, and is constantly adjusted for the audience and the latest news cycle trends. He’s out there hammering on topical Biden missteps in the second debate thats he’s focused and localized, the latest economic data & the fundamental falsity of Biden’s soft character argument.  The Biden “character” thrust was truly predictable and has been successfully parried with a timely and topical response. This last issue has been furthered by Gulliani’s work with the laptop, and I feel inadvertently and significantly furthered by the policy decisions of social media players. Thanks Jack!  BACKFIRE

      Personally, I will be thrilled to see the political pros once again schooled by an outsider…in only his second election. Perhaps this time they’ll look beyond their shallow focus on the messenger. Will they question their fundamental business model? Will they question their strategy for opposition research?  Will they fire the fools behind the Russia investigation and the impeachment?  Will they walk on the strategists behind the Kavanaugh debacle? Will they honestly try to understand how they missed the aspirations and interests of a majority of the electorate?  If one agrees that we need a fundamental change in the business of politics, the second Orange win may necessitate said change. He’s running more effectively, at a lower price point and with a much more targeted media strategy that is flexible enough to be “mass localized”. He is the walking talking embodiment of “the Disrupter”.

      Tough sledding ahead for democrats?  Will the tired argument be advanced yet again with their donors; “trust me, I know what I’m doing!”  Difficult discussions ahead between nascent partners; politicians, pollsters/turnout suppression strategists and social media conglomerates. “It’s your fault; no it’s yours!”

      To further our transition to a more honest dialog we need Barr to kick it in gear and Orange to reorganize the professional and self interested  bureaucrats out of DC. Let’s transition back towards public servants. Blow up/reorganize the staff that has inappropriately influenced our institutions. Terminate the “Vindmans” who have populated our institutions for too many years. Big job Orange. Get your ass in gear and get to work.

      Here's a toast with one last pour, may it last forever and a minute more;
      Good fortune seems to you have sung, to live and love way past long

      Posty. Four More Years. Worth the price of admission.
