If you need a cheerleader today, I’m probably not it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we held the Senate, even picked up a few seats. And there is some delayed satisfaction in the fact that all those Dems who voted against Justice Kavanaugh lost.
And sure, it was delightful to watch the heartbroken MSM admit that their big Blue Wave was in reality just an annoying little drip.
And since we held the Senate we still control judicial appointees which in the long game may be the money play - but for now seems like painfully delayed gratification.
On the other hand the thought of the crazies (Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, Elijah Cummings) running the House again makes me nauseous.
The fact that Keith Ellison won Minnesota’s Attorney General race disgusts me. Wasn’t he “credibly accused” of beating his former partner? I guess that’s only an automatic disqualifier for privileged white men.
And then there’s the unfortunate situation that those of us in states like California, Hawaii, Michigan and New Jersey ended up with the governments that they deserve rather than the ones we fought for. Disheartening.
The fact that ‘Beto’ O’Rourke – who attracted $70 million, mostly from out of state libs - still lost to Ted Cruz would be uplifting but for the fact he’s been declared a winner despite defeat. I mean, they’re touting him as the Democrats “New Kennedy” for Pete’s sake! Because of his felony DUI I’m assuming that’s Ted, not John, but still.
And AOC is now officially a socialist representative from The People’s Republic of New York. 50 years from now she’ll probably be Speaker of the House, she seems to have that special typeface.
So while I normally like to at least pretend to be optimistic I’m getting too old to rejoice over 2 years of wasted time while the Democrats hold meritless investigations and bury any that might actually uncover wrong-doing on the part of Deep State.
But hey, If PDJT isn’t giving up I won’t either.
And you know there isn’t a chance of that happening.
Nevertheless, I think I’ll spend today doing something productive like cleaning out my bedroom closet.

I’m not thrilled we lost the House but having enough GOP Senators to eliminate the power of Collins and Murkowski is fantastic. If there is another Supreme pick we can be reasonably sure that person will be more conservative.
However, the silver lining of the House loss is that it takes some of the pressure out of the cooker for the lunatic left. Now they can feel invested in government and maybe it will stop them from the types of physical attacks on their political enemies we’ve seen these past 2 years. At the same time, looking at the low IQ people who are going to be leading the House committees you can guarantee they are going to overreach. With the media wrapped around the axle of Get Trump, I expect the Left will put all their energy into fruitless investigations and present a compelling case come 2020 that they did nothing productive for 2 years.
I’m from MO and we dumped McCaskill. For me, that is worth throwing a huge party!
That is exactly right. Never.
