You and me both! I’ve spent too many elections believing the the hype that we had it, and then collapsing in misery. It’s so hard to believe any more, as if it’s bad luck to anticipate.

I remember when Obama ran against Mitt. I began to believe the hype because the economy sucked. In hindsight, I should've understood that every black person would come out to vote for Obama and carry the day one more time.

I think one of the best things that ever happened to black America was to experience the disappointment of their guy not delivering them from their inner city messes, improving the economy for blacks and in general, improving their quality of life. Now I don't see them voting for Trump or republicans either, but at a minimum, I believe Trump has their attention.

Am quite familiar with those feelings. However, this time, my inner hunch is that we'll be surprised in our positive direction. I sure hope . . . so.

I actually suspect relatively few people have a good idea how big the red tsunami will be. The NSA probably does. Trump's researchers probably do. The top ranks of the enemy may be getting a clue. Time will tell.

I think we'll get some preliminary clue by the increasingly dour faces and desperate pronouncements of Puhlousey, Maxine Mashface, Schmucky Shoomer, Swinstein et al.
