A FAR better weekend than we could have hoped for.

1. Hope is not lost.

I dream of a day (soon) when Trump's approval rating falls as low -- if not lower -- than that of Congress.

Although no doubt the Trump White House will be "swamped" in scandal, the reasons his die-hard supporters will finally desert him will be rising prices -- gas at the pump, health insurance, groceries, and durables -- and job prospects no better or even worse than under Obama.

I'll underscore that I'm not rooting for the economy to fail; it's just a foregone conclusion considering Trump's policies and plans. But I do have hope that his zombie-like followers will finally come to life and realize they've been taken for chumps.
