Let's try something new. Predictions for 2022

 Since the year is just starting, I think it is worthwhile to predict how the elections will turn out in November of this year.  If you want to make a prediction as to the outcome, just do so in the comments.

Here are my predictions for the midterm elections.

Senate:  Republicans pick up four seats from the following states:  NH, NV, AZ, CO, MN and GA.  Democrats fail to pick up even a single GOP seat.  Net results GOP has a 54-46 majority. 

House:  Gop picks up a net of 56 seats and takes control of this chamber.

Governors - GOP picks up three states but loses one, net result is a pickup of 2.

Good luck -- but I'm right.

The Dems Actually Lose Their Minds

 I don't post much anymore.  I am too busy dealing with life and just don't have time to comment on the political scene.  Today, however, I read a column by Democrat Doug Schoen in the Wall Street Journal that cannot be ignored.  Schoen presents what he thinks are clear, rational and convincing arguments why Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for the Democrats in 2024.

Think about this for a minute.  "Hillary in 24" is about as sensible as "Catch COVID for weight loss".  Clinton is a loser.  She managed to lose in 2016 even though she had the support of a united party and media.  She managed to lose despite a spate of scandals that hit Donald Trump.  She managed to lose ungraciously, failing even to show up on election night to concede once her loss was clear.  She ran a nasty campaign, tagging her opponents as unAmerican or unpatriotic.  She was a lazy candidate who seemed to have more affinity for day drinking than she did for the American people.  As I said, Clinton is a loser.

The truth is that I would like to see America make a rational choice in 2024 between the chaotic vision of the Democrats and the reality of the GOP view.  Clinton may be the best person to bring that about, so maybe it will be good for the USA if she runs as the Dem candidate.
