huWe’re All Here Together: Black, White, Red, Yellow & Brown
One of the old sayings in politics crafted by former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill is that "all politics is local." Except that's not exactly true as the exceedingly poorly timed collapsing senate campaign of Graham Platner in Maine, has broad and serious national implications.
The Democrats are expected to easily seize the House of Representatives in the upcoming midterms in November of this year. Our confused and declining president is aiding that with every political misstep and insult hurled at a member of the opposition party, foreign dignitary, or the press, for that matter.
Incredibly, because of Donald Trump’s historically poor polling numbers, the United States Senate might actually be in play.
Imagine the Democrats seizing both the House and the Senate in one swell swoop, effectively ending Trump’s out-of-control presidency. Lame duck wouldn’t even be a sufficient term to describe him at that point.
Roasted duck would be more applicable.
The Democrats would surely do nothing to help Donald J. Trump govern in any way whatsoever. It might be a stiflingly difficult two years until Trump leaves office, but the alternative of having the Republicans in charge of the country, would be many times worse.
And then there’s Graham Platner.
