BLACK TUESDAY

If we were tired of winning, we’re going to get a respite. Possibly a long one.
Here’s why you shouldn’t pay much attention to my prognostications and speculations:
I thought Republicans would gain 5 to 6 seats in the Senate, gain a governor, net, lose no more than 18, probably not more than 15 seats in the House. I was really really wrong. November 6 was Black Tuesday.
It was dismaying to lose races I thought we would win (Arizona, Nevada, Montana). Doubly dismaying to win narrowly races we should have won big (Texas a purple state?). Triply dismaying so many of the Dem candidates were such obvious dirtballs (Sinema, Tester, Gillum, Abrams.)
Even more dismaying we should do so poorly when the economy is roaring, peace with North Korea is in the offing.
Yes, the Dems have cheated their way to victory in many close races – but they shouldn’t have been close in the first place. Have most voters – especially middle class white women in the suburbs – lost all judgment and all moral sense?
