Getting tired of all this #WINNING yet? No? Expect more today. – The S&P 500 and NASDAQ indexes again closed at all-time highs on Thursday on news of a pending deal in U.S./China trade talks and news of a landslide win in the UK elections by Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party. The Dow Jones Industrials had reached an all-time high in late-day trading before falling back slightly at the close. All three indexes were poised to open at new all-time highs in pre-market trading.
Speaking of that vote in the UK… – As we noted back on November 29, the Conservative Torries had been poised to regain massive majority control of Parliament according to all the polls, and for once, the polls were right. Even the exit polls came close to getting it right, projecting a likely final Torry majority of 368 seats, just 4 away from the final official number of 364 of the chamber’s 650 total seats.
Johnson will now control a 78-seat majority, the largest for any party since the Margaret Thatcher-led election in 1987. Meanwhile, the largely communist “Labor” Party is left with a paltry 203 seats, its fewest since the election held in 1935.
Some of the dynamics of this election will sound very familiar to U.S. voters; others will no doubt turn out to be predictive of those we will see in the U.S. elections in 2020, just as the July 2016 Brexit vote turned out to be predictive of the U.S. election results five months later.
Here are some examples:
Despite broad predictions that the British pound would crash after a landslide Johnson win, the value of the pound soared in post-election trading;
The same is true of the British stock market, with every major British index moving substantially higher in post-election trading;
All of that is reminiscent of wild election night 2016 predictions in the U.S. by hacks like the New York Times’s resident economist Paul Krugman that the U.S. economy would “never recover” from the Trump victory
The Torries achieved their landslide by breaking through what Brits like to call the “red wall” in England’s industrial areas in the north and “midlands.” The British media, unlike the U.S. media, properly associates the communists’ favored color of red with the Labor Party, and he color blue with the Conservatives. You can see what the country’s new election map looks like today below:
Thus, just as the U.S. was a virtual sea of Republican “red” following the 2016 elections, England is today a virtual sea of Torry “blue” following this election; What does this breakthrough by the Conservatives in traditional blue-collar, industrial areas remind you of? If you said Donald Trump’s 2016 victories in the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, you win the prize;
Trump’s soaring polling numbers with African Americans and other minority groups are today positioning him to pick off other traditionally Democrat states like Minnesota and New Mexico in next year’s elections;
Indeed, should the President pull anything close to the 34% of black voters who currently support him in a variety of national polls next year, the whole country outside of California, New York and Washington DC is basically up for grabs.
So, why did Johnson’s landslide happen now? Again, even that is eerily similar to the election dynamic building in the U.S. today. Simply put, the vast majority of Brits have grown weary of their wishes expressed in the resounding Brexit election win in 2016 being subverted by the Labor Party communists and globalist Conservatives, who have gone to extraordinarily-underhanded lengths to kill every Brexit plan that has come along.
Again, Americans, does that sound familiar?
Just as the public’s disgust with the antics of the Labor communists and duplicitous Torries finally built to the boiling point in the U.K., we can feel the public’s disgust with the antics of the Democrat communists and duplicitous, globalist Republicans building out here in Flyover Country. If the Democrats continue to just double-down on ever more-extreme attacks on the President, that disgust will have reached the boiling point by the time November 2020 rolls around.
In public life just as in private life, politicians reap what they sow. With their never-ending efforts to deny the American voters the fruits of their choice in the 2016 election, the Democrats are sowing the seeds of a blowout landslide in 2020.
I’m cool with that. You should be, too.
That is all.

Make Britain GREAT Again!
The populist movement has taken the UK. But what will they do with their new power? Lets hope they are as wise as President Trump.
Canada is next,and the left in powere there is so afaid of Make Canada Great Aagain ( MCGA), that the federally funded Canadian Broadcast Corporation, long a leftist media, does nothing but replay CNN talking points about US politics.Canadians have been propagandized into Trump Derangement Syndrome, but like the UK, Canadians can overcome.
Thank you President Trump.
Thank You Nigel Farage and Thank you Boris Johnson.
Its a Great Day. God Save the Queen, no one else will, until now.
keep eye on the ball
keep praying
expect the Dems to try and do every illegal shenanigan in the book in preparation
Especially considering any likely democrat opponent will be as bad as Corbyn.
RE: MBGA
Hey that sounds like the name of my African friend from Botswana :)
“Torry” party?
I supposedly have a rich uncle in Nigeria with that same name...
Looks like the Brits were inspired to vote for Johnson by none other than DJTrump!
“All of that is reminiscent of wild election night 2016 predictions in the U.S. by hacks like the New York Times’s resident economist Paul Krugman that the U.S. economy would “never recover” from the Trump victory”
Off topic, but if I was a Republican, I would start running ads all over the country insulting people like Krugman and other notables who came out as rabid Trump haters. It would be classic Alinsky.
HURRAH!
In the natural order of things, Republicans should be blue, and Democrats should be red, like their Soviet kissing cousins.
Landslide in 2020 only if Republicans get off their couch and show up to vote. Just ask the GOP in Virginia about low voter turnout...
As the election approaches....media says polls are tightening...its too close to call.........exit poll is released as the polls closed.....landslide for the Tories! As the counting advances exit poll is essentially confirmed.

So much for the “youth quake”.
There. Fixed that.
Democrats have no intention on campaigns aligned with the will of their constituents. The democrats are merely trying to gauge and pay for enough fraudulent voting tabulation to overcome the Trump victory. Getting a good handle on that figure proves to be their main frustration. They don’t want to get caught with impossible data.
We can consider this election Brexit 2.0. Voting out the liberals who spent several years trying to prevent Brexit’s implementation.
