[[[ As I reflect back to what was yesterdays Republican "political bloodbath," these five key points come to mind.
First: We Republicans now having officially lost both the House and the Senate really need to "grow a set" and start taking responsibility for our actions, while "getting off our knees" if we are to have any chance of winning the presidency in 2028...and that includes NO JD Vance on the ticket.
Second: Trump and his misplaced crew of advisors crew of advisors wanted to make the midterm election all about him…he did the rallies…he was constantly on TV…he thought his overinflated theatrical ego could help convince people to vote Republican. He failed miserably what with his misplaced "I, I, I, it's all about me" crude and unpolished persona; his lack of any true oratory skills; his overall self-perceived "I'm smarter than you demeanor;" his promises made NOT kept regarding both the economy and the Iran War; that actually caused Republicans to lose it all!!
And I couldn’t wait to hear his excuses for this absolutely horrendous loss…as I knew he'd find a way to blame said loss on everyone but himself, which as expected he did.
Third: We know Reagan inherited a bad economy from Jimmy Carter and yet he was able to turn things around. Trump inherited a bad economy from Joe Biden nobody is denying that, but what Trump did with his misguided overinflated tariffs and turning the Iran war away from Iran’s nuclear ambitions to a war over control of Hormuz and oil forced the voters pocketbooks to do their voting for them. Sad fact indeed.
Fourth: Another loser last night that people seem to have forgotten about is the Supreme Court, as the Democrats will either stack the court to put more Democrat members on it or we might actually see some Republican justices retiring thus leaving their seats open, but that no matter who Trump nominates they will be turned down.
Many folks did not stop to think about all the possible ramifications of the Democrats gaining what is absolute power before they cast their votes. And remember, Trump‘s promise to "veto" all that Democrats propose can only go so far because it now looks like it’s even possible that Democrats can reach the 60 votes needed to negative any of Trump's vetoes.
Fifth: Here's something few think about, but it does affect a great number of savvy people..as in today the "stock market" is going through the roof!
Why so...because now "the market" finally has their own version of a must needed system of "checks and balances" in place...similar to that of the House and the Senate...as "the market" had continued not to respond well to Trump's ad-nauseam, "one day we’re doing this, the next day we’re doing that" scenario. In other words, Trump is NOT making any rational, tangible or reality based decisions in regards to what's happening on the international stage, and especially in regards to the Iran War.
Trump himself via his in-actions literally made "the market" quite "unstable," and now with his loss of total governmental control...Trump's aforementioned "veto power" can only go so far with "the market" responding positively to the election decision made last night because the totality and finality of it will actually stabilize "the market."
How so...by what's called a "clarity of projections" coupled with governing decisions finally being made one way or the other, thus resulting in what the "stock market" views as a "cleansing event" for both investors and speculators.
At least for some lucky folks a modicum of good has come out of what was a total "Blue Wave" caused Republican political disaster...enough said, case closed. ]]]
