The Republicans staggered out of the 2018 Senate Mid-Terms with a final tally of 53 seats to the Democrats 47.\u00a0 They\u2019ve netted two seats but lost Arizona and Nevada through poor decisions and poor messaging.\u00a0 The good news is that 53 seats means Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, those two northern RINO dames won\u2019t have a veto over who gets into the Supreme Court and the President\u2019s Cabinet.\u00a0 Hallelujah.\u00a0 The bad news is that 53 is the best they could do in the best Senate election the Republicans are likely to get in a long time.<\/p>\n
But I\u2019m a glass half-full kinda guy so let\u2019s call this one a definite win.\u00a0 We can look forward to a potential one or two more Supreme Court appointments and just as importantly, a competent Attorney General and FBI Director.\u00a0 And that\u2019s just in time.\u00a0 With Manafort reneging on his Mueller plea-bargain and details of Manafort\u2019s apparent role in providing the Trump administration intel on Mueller, it looks like that pot is about to boil over.\u00a0 So this Senate gain is important but just one more step in the never-ending war.\u00a0 In the immortal words of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, \u201cWelcome Back, My Friends, to the Show That Never Ends.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
