Tag: November mid-terms

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

The Democrats keep making lower highs and deeper lows. They do not review the major trend nor are they willing to revise their central theme.  While the Democrats won the majority in the US House of Representatives and can blow their horn really loudly, there is a far more important shift in domestic power balance that has taken place. Trump’s gains in the Senate demonstrate that his election was not a fluke. The FOX poll that showed more Republicans identified with Trump than the Republican Party demonstrates above all the trend is away from both party mantras. We truly are moving more in the direction of a third party trend rejecting career politicians on both sides.

Readers are asking for my thoughts about the midterm elections.

Looking at this CNN map—https://www.cnn.com/election/2018/results/house–it seems that except for thin areas of the northeast and west coasts and hispanic and black enclaves in the southwest and south, the country overwhelmingly voted Republican.

It’s annoying to lose anything, especially to a party that is so manifestly unworthy, but the nature of an electorate that is split 50/50 is splitting. Chin up. Remember, we have the other half of Congress and the presidency and the courts too, so our agenda is not totally stalled. If you are going to lose anything, lose the House. It’s the Maroon 5 of our governmental institutions – always there, but no one really likes it.

In the Army they call them decision points, key moments in time and space where your choice determines whether you achieve the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat, in this case defeat by a bunch of vicious socialist-wannabes who long for the chance to crush you like one of the grapes that goes into Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit’s Trader Joe’s house brand Chardonnay.
