Chance is a nickname for Providence, and workings of Providence is impossible to gauge by statistics or any other objective method. I do believe in a special Providence which takes care about fools, drunkards and USA. The trend which allowed Trump win 2016 election and which was impossible to predict nicely explained by this special Providence, which makes the man an instrument of this mysterious agent of change. Let us hope it can work its magic once again.

Um, in the Kubler-Ross model, which stage of grief is “acceptance”?….

Are we there yet? (Will we ever get “there”?)

To be sure, we’re not really dealing here with stages of grief but of insanity. Raving, acrimonious insanity (which is believed by the faithful to be a superior morality, even patriotism).

So, yes, it would seem that all bets are off.

Barry: I don’t think certain media outlets, like CNN, MSNBC, WashPo, or the NYTimes could ever earn my trust back. I really do agree with the assessment of “enemy of the people”. I think the only question is just how over the cliff they are willing to go. If the last two years are any indication, it won’t be long before they are calling for assassinations of Republicans. Their fellow travelers in Hollywood have already tread carelessly close to or crossed that bridge.

“…the legacy…”

Absolutely. Obama helped put Trump in the WH—hey, maybe THAT’S the REAL collusion!!)—though heartfelt gratitude should also be shown to Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein…and to Hillary, too.

But it’s not just Obama’s abuses.

He had a whole lotta help, especially from the MSM; which is one of the main reasons (together with its baleful war against Trump these past two years) why the media has lost almost all credibility.

And it’s a real problem (because a healthy society needs a believable media)…but those who’ve turned extremely skeptical of the media are entirely justified.

It’s up to the media to earn back trust. Alas, I’m not holding my breath.

Two years ago, most * of us didn’t vote for Trump – we voted Not-Democrat and the only way to make those Not-Democrat votes count was to vote for Trump. Since then, the Democrats have had a hysterical, incessant two-year tantrum, during which time Republicans have been shot, chased out of public places, and demonized 24/7/365. We’ve watched them try to delegitimize the person we voted for – and the process itself – with the bogus “collusion” witch hunt and with the Kavanaugh incident, they came close to destroying someone who in all probability was innocent, just for political reasons. What part of that would encourage anyone who voted Not-Democrat two years ago to change their mind? And also, what part of that would encourage anyone planning to vote Not-Democrat to tell random strangers who they plan to vote for?

I don’t put any great stock in polling. Midterm turnout is always a big question mark.

We’ll see. I fear for the worst and hope for better.

(* I am projecting. I voted Not-Democrat and wanted my vote to count, and I suspect that many other people who voted for Trump did so for similar reasons. That’s what is especially annoying about the Democrat response. Basically, Trump IS the legacy of Obama’s abuses.)

The Democrats did much of the gerrymandering themselves, concentrating their votes to ensure majorities. Now it works against them. Kind of like the game of Othello.

The Dems are not convinced they’ll win the House. I’m basing that on the things I’ve seen about how awful it would be if they won the “House popular vote” but didn’t win the House. Whoever heard of the “House popular vote”?

Wonder which way the “independents” will lean and if they (“they”!) will be the ones to ultimately swing the vote.

Wonder if they’ll be persuaded by the extraordinary insanity of people like Max Boot.

Or if most of them will decide to believe their lying eyes….

(How many of ’em are there, anyway?)

I agree with everyone who says we just don’t know and have been feeling quite uncertain until today. I feel pretty sure we will see a small Democrat majority in the House – say a gain of under 30. I’d like to be wrong, but I predict that the electorate will send a mixed message to Trump. I think his slightly underwater approval rating is perhaps the best predictor of this result. However what I really want to say is that I see politics as fairly fast moving compared to culture and that the deeper battle is for the culture and that will take many election cycles to resolve. Given that that the POMO, PC, neo- Marxist left thought they were about to seize permanent control it is amazing how much one man has begin to turn that around politically. But on the culture front, Jordan Peterson is by contrast polite, and playing for keeps to help people regain the roots of our country and our civilisation. Watch the latest attempt to take him out and notice how vigilant he has to be and how he takes on the ideology of the left at every turn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZYQpge1W5s&t=1808s

The left owns the culture and the fight back will be long and difficult. Loss of the House will be a setback, but the consequences for the longer deeper battle are by no means clear. As Neo has pointed out it is also beginning to happen with people like Candice Owens and Blexit. On the face of it we don’t have a chance, but the elites have demonstrated that they are incredibly weak by their incredible and continuing blindness to why Trump was elected. Os Guinness on the Federalist podcast this week lays it out better than anyone I have heard.
http://thefederalist.com/2018/11/02/podcast-americas-division-stems-opposing-views-freedom/ The American republic may be lost in the end, but it is not over yet. Remember Madison designed the likelihood that the House would be lost in by a controversial administration. It gives mobocracy its due, but the rest of the system is designed allow the slower changes to resolve themselves. If we are headed to a French Revolution based socialist utopia the eager beavers will probably have to wait longer. I hope they wait forever.
