I predict there will be no “blue wave” come November.

I think you underestimate their desperation, their infrastructure, their disregard for all rules and the American people, and their goals (either total power, or else the destruction of Traditional America... preferably both). Illegals, teens, and felons voting... misreported voting tallies (it's not who votes that matters, but who counts the votes that matters)... violence at the polling places... the MSM coordinating and guiding it all... dozens and dozens of contests that juuuust barely favor the Dem somehow... a few RINOs bribed into crossing over... they are not as far from taking both Houses as you seem to believe.

Isn't it amazing that this guy wrote a book telling you EXACTLY how he thinks, yet all of his enemies keep stumbling and fumbling, unable to figure that out? I have never seen anything quite like it.

Really? You've never heard of Mein Kampf, or Obama's books? Both laid out quite clearly their intentions and their paths, and both were very successful for years and years at accomplishing huge percentages of the "change" that they sought.

I’ve heard all that before, yet here we are.

Trump has reversed a large percentage of Obama's "legacy" and will continue to do so.

“Trump’s been doing it 140 characters at a time ...”

The significance of this will eventually be realized, even by his political enemies, when the history of his Presidency is written. FDR is lionized about his “fireside chats” as an effective way to speak directly to the people. Trump’s use of Twitter is a mega-paradigm shift. And I hope they mentioned how the MSM and the entrenched political class was begging him to stop using it after the election so he could “look more Presidential.” He never listened to them - to his great advantage.

What might be less written about is contrasting the much older Trump’s use of technology against Mr Technology himself - wunderkind BHO. All the reports about how BHO used technology to get elected, how his mastery of technology was never seen before by a President and was a game-changer and allowed BHO to connect to the people like never before. After he was out of office it came out millions of his on-line “followers” weren’t real persons - phoney and fake, just like him. A 70 year man who grew up in an entirely different technological world, mastered and used something supposedly “owned by the young” - and well beyond “genius BHO” could even imagine.

Trump’s election is truly remarkable in so many ways, this is just one of them. A black swan historical event that totally upset and continues to upset the status quo. BHO’s legacy is melting away faster than the wicked witch.

The book “Black Swan” is a great primer on this.

A Trump could destroy the system. The right now hates the FBI more than the left for instance.

A few cycles down the road, that will show up in funding.

The crumbling NY/DC media complex doesn't want him using it because it makes them even more irrelevant.

Trump killed the "don't pick a fight with the man who buys ink buy the barrel." Maybe they can just shove their ink barrels - and their NYC studios - right up their asses.

Traitor Obama was open about his “transformation”. Still he won...twice.

“Wearing well?”

Hope I didn’t cause confusion with that term. It’s another way of saying that he is growing on the American people. That’s really rattling the left.

“The crumbling NY/DC media complex doesn’t want him using it because it makes them even more irrelevant.”

Exactly! In recent [”old”] days, they owned the ink, President would speak, and they would write (filter, spin, distort) what they want the reader to think the President said... or did not say. With Trump’s use of Twitter, his twitter followers don’t need to consult the ink owners to know what Trump said. Instead the media ends up reporting exactly what Trump tweets (followed by their outrage) and thus his tweets further reaches those that don’t follow him on twitter. Hence, the media complex moves toward irrelevancy as they now appear as the naked political hacks that they are and not journalists which they have never been.
