This year reminds me more and more of 1994. All the political scientists had assured their leftist brethern that it was a demographic and statistical impossibility for the Republicans to ever gain control of the House of Representatives. It just could not happen.

Then it did. The electorate, energized by the infringements imposed on the Second Amendment by Bill Clinton and a Democrat Congress, Hillarycare, and other atrocities, revolted. The Republicans took the House and the Senate. Even the Speaker of the House lost his seat.

This is a similar situation. Then, the stranglehold on information flow had been broken by Rush Limbaugh and the nascent Internet. The media believed they were “unbiased”.

After the election, which the media uniformly viewed as an unprecedented disaster, they decided to become openly partisan. They used decades of accumulated credibility propping up Bill Clinton and assorted leftist causes. Finally, that accumulated credibility is gone. Trump has shown how to fight the media cartel and win.

A new day is dawning.

We have a chance to “Make America Great Again”. May Donald Trump keep his campaign promises, (within Constitutional limits).

Levin is still hallucinating in a wet dream that a “superior” candidate will arrive riding on a white horse and win the presidency. Levin’s ego has destroyed any sense of reality.

He's chastising the rubes because he got it wrong. Ugh.

Yeah, but like any fool - he’s proud. Rather than being contrite about being totally wrong he’s come up with new theories that are also totally wrong. In for a penny in for a pound.
