My fear is that it will be a squandered opportunity to actually revitalize our country because the momentum that is shifting to favor conservatives will quickly dissipate if they don't use some God damn common sense and actually work to unite, engage, educate and empower the new factions that are aligning themselves with traditional conservatives. I hear people talk about how the Presidential race is a lock and it worries me because if the Republicans engage in petty quid pro quo attacks and virtue signal it will be a short lived shift instead of a decade long resurgence of the Republican party.

It could very easily be squandered. It was after 2010 and 2014. It's easy for the GOP to screw this up. That's why we have to push for smart nominations. We have to answer the Trump question once and for all. But if we win big tomorrow, it's a huge leap in the right direction.

Your litany of the Dem problems and excuses approaches art in the written form. They have done this to themselves with speed and dexterity. The first week War on Energy executive orders were a bloody disaster that began the entire stream of failures.

The expectation of those things is a fundamental endeavor that should be solvable by anybody with a mediocre third grade education.

If the Dems had simply ignored DJT, he would have faded into obscurity, but they were unable to do that and thus they have provided the energy that has kept him afloat.

I predict the Dems indict Trump two weeks after the elections tom'w. Set your watch.

Trump had great policies, delivered a superb economy - best since 1776 - fronted up America's enemies, scared our enemies (and friends), and turned over rocks to expose almost every legacy mistake in US foreign policy.

He did it in a blustery, uncouth manner - which was part of his charm to some folks - but became his Original Sin though if he hadn't his detractors would have found a Substitute Original Sin.

He beat both the GOPe and his opponents.

It is time for Mr. Trump to pull the lobster traps and head back to port whilst bequeathing the boat to Pompeo, DeSantis, Haley and others.

His policies and their leadership and delivery are a winning formula.
