Check Washington's conventional political wisdom — and then look the other way to see where U.S. is headed in the next 12 months
Here are three leading examples of the conventional wisdom among Washington’s political experts about what will happen in 2018:
Democrats will ride a “blue wave” of congressional campaign victories to retake control of Congress, gaining majorities in the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Only the richest Americans will benefit economically from passage of President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, as the stall in middle-class prosperity continues.
Special counsel Robert Mueller will indict a host of former Trump campaign and administration figures — then the chief executive himself will be impeached and convicted by the blue wave Democratic majority in Congress.

.. and all three of those leftie wet dream examples will be proven wrong, as usual - not that that will diminish their collectivist delusions.
MAGA
Considering I've seen Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, Christine O'Donnell, and Sharron Angle then I guess I've lived a very long life.
I will agree with the author on one thing: it would be a surpise if any of those came to pass.
Why is Laura’ Ingram’s Blog posting this garbage?
Actually, I think that the rabid but politically cognizant LEFT would desire an Impeachment that did not actually remove President Trump. The political theater of the Senate ‘Trial’ with Senator Schumer pulling the strings would be every moonbat’s wet dream. With the MSM doing its ‘judicial’ best at acting unbiased, this would likely lead to LEFTist dreams in 2020.
Thus, it will be a big surprise if the Tax Cut works and the middle class benefits.
And it will be a big surprise if Mueller finds nothing.
And it will be a big surprise if the Republicans hold Congress.
And it will be a big surprise if Trump isn't committed to a mental institution or avoids being shoved out by the deep state.
Those would all be big horrible surprises to conventional wisdom, as promulgated by all forms of media and the left, at this stage of the game. The fact that they are making the points "surprises" shows how little they really believe in their conventional wisdom and inadvertently expose their propaganda, thus they are leaving what they are promoting as fact to some kind of "miracle" now to save them from their doom and lies.
What was “garbage” about it? The article calls out the lies pushed by the “media” about the midterms, the new tax law and the Mueller fishing expedition. It was a pretty decent read.
Beggin’ the obvious, but why don’t you ask her?
My humble apologies....
...in my rush I read the header and the 3 items and made an instant judgment without further reading.
My bad!
Can’t finish reading the article, constant pop-up of advertisements stopped the reading enjoyment.
The possibility of a Dem Blue Wave in mid-term maybe an exaggeration, GOP can not afford to lose any more seats -
Knowing Republican critters and the CoC pulling their strings, I won’t pretend to be surprised by their Cave-In on Trump’s signature campaign promise “Build the Wall, No Amnesty”.
I also HOPE Trump won’t compromise just to “make a deal”, any deviation of that (hint: “Read My Lips”) then I am staying home. If election results do not bring about the change voters expressing their wants, then it forces me to look for other means to prepare for what’s to come.
The surprises can’t be “Totally Unexpected” if the writer is expecting them.
“totally unexpected” ? someone expects it
NEVER stay home from the polling place. November 2016 proves that. The math basically gives you what you don’t want.
Fingers crossed for a liberal vacancy on the supreme court sooner than later.
Down load an ad blocker. There are many good free ones. I use AdBlock.
THAT had more validity than this drivel.
I don’t know when or by whom but at some point I think Hillary’s missing 33,000 email messages are going to be released.
Rs hold the house, pick up at least 5 in the senate.
