2018 will be a bloodbath, no doubt. GOP has been routed in heavily GOP districts all over the map recently. However, I'm unsure that's going to sway anyone, and indeed might solidify their belief that the left wing media's grip on America is ironclad. I base this on a conversation that I had with my uncle the other day (all of my mom's five brothers--well to do, educated, white septuagenarians to a man--fall all over each other to see who can be the biggest right wing moron), in which he described to me a report to he saw about "the leader of the Me Too movement" who has been caught sexually harassing men. And he said it with a lot of conviction. And he didn't get the joke when I asked him if he had to translate the article from Russian himself, or if it was already in English. My point being that we apparently live in different worlds, one in which reporters report facts, and the other in which the world is a giant conspiracy aimed at harming the poor, white millionaire. That's why the tapes were so damning. It was right from the Devil's mouth that he was, in fact, a crook.
