#1 8 more years for the Trump presidency and a Conservative Congress might clean out the mess.

#2 Wray has been in hull-defilade since assuming the position of FBI director. Why ?

#3 I keep hearing people say Wray is O.K. but I'm skeptical. Hull-defilade describes the foot-dragging by the director.

#4 JohnQC Trump is already remaking the courts. He'll get 4 more years and the courts will be unrecognizable to lefties. Add to that there will be few openings left for a long time for anyone hoping to reverse the Constitutional trends being built. Hell the 9th Circuit now has a Republican majority.

All signs point towards a big pro-Trump wave in 2020 so taking over the house seems a serious possibility.

#5 I think the absolutely insane tactics now being pursued by the Democrats is proof positive that they know Trump will win easily next November.

No incumbent loses a peacetime election with a roaring economy and <4% unemployment.

Trump has smashed the 90%-of-the-black-vote foundation that is essential for the Dems to win. The smarter Dems see that this will be a repeat of the British election, with Trump destroying the Dems in every swing state that has a large Afr-American population.

Game over.

Dems know this, which is why they've gone to such absurd lengths - aka The Shitshow - to deny it.

#6 Ref #5: Complicating the issues Lex has described are the realities of a RBG replacement (and possibly more) along with the continued naming of conservative federal judges. The democratic ship is sinking and they are obviously quite desperate.

#7 While the House Impeaches, the Senate Will Confirm 13 More Trump Judges

#8 BoJo smashed Labour's Red Wall in the industrial heartland.

Trump will smash the Dems' Black Bloc in Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Detroit.

The Dems are terrified. They can read the writing on the wall. As in the U.K., a political realignment's coming.

#9 Let's not get too cocky, though. The Dems have a few months left to put forth some other 'games' (with MSM help), which I'm sure they've been working on since Russiagate fell apart.

#10 This fear, of losing their 50-year lock on the African-American vote, is also why the Dems are so determined to pursue open borders + mass non-European immigration policies.

It used to be the aggressive, cynical component of what their strategist Ruy Texeira called the path to an "Emerging Democratic Majority."

Now this open-borders ploy is morphing into a defensive maneuver. A desperate one, if Trump breaks up the Dems' Black Bloc.

#11 #9 Indeed. Trump has to get much better at lawfare. I think Bart's performance has been strong on this score.

Let's see what Durham comes up with. Maybe Dershowitz's help will make a difference.

But you're right: the Dems are like cornered rats now. The prospect of more snarling lies and dirty tricks is not to be taken lightly.

#12 But...but...LBJ promised them 200 years of black votes for Democrats. Of course, he didn't use the term "black". I can't post the term he used.
