Prediction: We will win the House and Senate by overwhelming margins. Everyone will be surprised.

It will be as large a victory, as it was a loss in 1972. No, I won't tell you why I think so, but one day after the election, by mid day, of that Wednesday morning, you will see I am correct. Well, I have been wrong so many times, so that will not bother me. And, what is wrong with a prediction of an election about 3 months into the future? I sure hope that I am right. And if I am, I will tell you why on that day. If I am wrong, well....What else is new?...(Why give away the secret...they are lurking here aren't they??)

About Trump, Sessions, "Witch Hunt", Cohen ..etc..Why Trump doesn't have a clue.

...In his past life, as a business man, TV star, cheater, liar, etc., Trump always bought his way out. When he couldn't, he declared "bankruptcy" and stiffed those he owed. In his mind, he came out ahead..with money, a woman, his status, etc...That may not have been real, but he rarely faced consequences for his deeds and lies.
The lawyers took care of it, or the money did.

..This is a different game. More lies, cheating, and bankruptcy will not save him. He cannot declare bankruptcy in this game. He can only resign in disgrace. He acts as if he can bully his way out with his "tweets" and temper tantrums. He can't.

He is up against the very best. If he finds a way to fire Mueller, it will get much worse. (he doesn't think that is possible, but it is) He seems to think this will end positively for him. Will the Republican Party back him up? Or, will the members of the Republican Party, in the end, try to save their own asses. Is the selfish Republican Party, (known for its self centered thinking), going to go down for Trump to save Trump? How many will give their whole careers just to save Trump?.. A very HUGE PILE OF S**T IS HEADING TO THE FAN, and the Pukes are going to sacrifice their careers to save Mr. Trump? They are going to stand in front of that pile as it hits the fan to protect Trump?.......
.
.I don't think so. I think Trump will have to take the smattering as it hits the fan, and the rest of them will run as far as they can to avoid the fallout. And I think it will hurt the Trump family in ways they cannot imagine. I can imagine the ways, but I don't think they can.

What are the 5 most important Senate elections in 2018? (if time permits, why?,more than 5 is OK.)

Only if time permits, give reasons. I would like to know what others think ..thank you.

Nevada...a possible pick up for our side. very good chance

Missouri ..Claire McCaskill is a seasoned fighter and has an excellent chance of winning, but Trump took this state by some points and it will be tight. We need to support her as best as possible.

Texas...another possible pick up. Cruz is not liked and a liar. Beneto has an excellent chance..News is that this is far closer than predicted.

North Dakota..Heidi will need all the help we can give just to keep her seat. If she looses, taking over the Senate could be most difficult. (Trump took the state by a number of points)

Florida If Bill Nelson looses against Rick Scott ( Scott is a total asshole) then taking over the Senate could be impossible (if we lose North Dakota and Florida, then forget taking the Senate)

ok, have at it..and... Need to understand this because it could help with potential donations. Thank You for any and all opinions

____________________________________________________________________________________
(CNN) — A white police officer in Michigan who says he was taunted by fellow officers when he told them that he was part black will receive a $65,000 settlement, his attorney said.

Sgt. Cleon Brown, a 19-year veteran with the police department in Hastings, Michigan, said a series of taunts began in 2016 when he took a genetic test through Ancestry.com and learned that he was 18% African.

His colleagues at the police department were whispering "Black Lives Matter" while pumping their fists as they walked past him and his police chief referred to him as "Kunta," he said. (Kunta Kinte is a character in Alex Haley's novel, "Roots: The Saga of an American Family."

"It was almost like a disgraced type of reaction that I got from them like, 'Why are you proud of this type of thing?'," he told CNN affiliate WDIV.

Plane crash in Mexico, Everyone Survives

Source: CNN

The left wing of the twin-engine jet initially touched the ground, causing the plane to lose both of its engines. The plane then skidded off the runway at the Guadalupe Victoria International Airport until it stopped about 300 meters away, Aispuro said.

Anabel Estrada -- a passenger from Joliet, Illinois -- felt like the aircraft had been battling against the heavy rain and wind before it hit the ground twice during the crash

"The second impact was a lot stronger. This is when I jumped and hit my head against the ceiling," Estrada said. "After the second impact, I saw flames in the cabin ahead of me."

All passengers and crew members evacuated the plane using its emergency evacuation slides before flames engulfed the aircraft, officials said.

I was thinking about the USA and population growth. A question about that..

Not a trick question, but do you know the answer?..(after some thought, I figured it out..but the
answer is easy.)

Here is the question....Since 1940, most of the strongest population growth in the USA has occurred in 3 states:

California, Texas, and Florida.. Why? or...Why not New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Illinois like it used to be? ...(.I guess it is more than one question, but it is about one idea,)
...

...Is there any one cause for the change? If there is one, what is it? ..It ain't a trick question, but I think there is one reason...(in my opinion...what is your opinion?)....and it is not..no, NOT... people having sex and having babies....that is NOT THE CORRECT ANSWER..

I am a bit out of it tonite, why not a quiz, like I used to give when I was a teacher in a high school?

You may not have heard of slack-filling, but it’s a part of everyday life for consumers and the products we buy.

It’s the term manufacturers use to explain why their packages are often much bigger than the products inside — like the air that bulks out bags of potato chips.

Why do they do it? Is it a scam? We have the explanations for you in this week’s issue.

Here’s something you likely have never heard of that affects you almost every time you do your grocery shopping – slack-fill.

If you’ve ever felt short-changed when you buy a product, only to find when you open it that the box or bag is way too big for what’s inside, then you’re a victim of slack-fill.
