Nate Silver is part of the polling corps that’s hedging their bets. He wrote on Sunday that a blue wave looks likely, because that’s what all his colleagues are saying. Some of these projections are wild this year, like predicting Florida will have a Democrat governor. Not going to happen.

I agree with all of that. The dems want to burn it all down with no consideration of how that will affect them, and to the extent they have them, their friends and family. And yes, DJT has the right policies, but he shoots himself in the foot at every turn. I guess the best we can hope for is gridlock for 2 years. I just hope things don’t descend into the kind of violence w are seeing in Europe.
