Since it's almost upon us, here's a place to post about the weirdness ......


Oprah's been campaigning and telling people to vote for Democrats.

Let this sink in::  Oprah partnered with Weight Watchers.  How's that working out for her?

Are you saying Democrats make you fat?

There are easily a million or more men who would literally give up an arm or leg to marry her......for her money.

So, conventional wisdom has the Dems taking over the house (I hate Pelosi). And conventional wisdom has the Reps gaining a few seats in the Senate. The conventional wisdom is based on the more reliable polls. Not the fake news polls.

With that said, there is also a poll that has the black vote up to 25% for the Reps. I don’t know if the black vote has ever been in double digits for the Reps since this statistic has been kept. And the non-conventional wisdom is saying that this could mean better margins for the Reps in most races. If my memory serves me I think Hilary received 92% of the black vote. That is a huge change if my memory is correct. Also, the polls are saying there is an increase, however slight, of more Hispanics voting Republican in this election. Will this be enough to keep the blue wave down to a drip?

Obviously, no one knows what the outcome is going to be before Election Day. Even the exit polls are inaccurate. So I think it is going to be an interesting election.

Despite  how my religion demands that I love my fellow man, I expect
the very worst from them.  I'm rarely disappointed.
Hawaii is a forgone conclusion, a lost cause for freedom.
I fear the Mainland is ell bend on doing the same.
Prepare for major disruptions to our society.
Caused by Democrats/socialists.
We are running out of money.

A little more reading and I discovered a couple more things that seem encouraging for this midterm election.

The black approval rating for Trump is 40% with the whole country at 50%. That’s quite high considering blacks are predominantly Dems.

The rallies that Hilary and Obama have been speaking at have in some cases not filled the venue even when the venues were quite small. On the other hand, Trump’s rallies are always at maximum capacity with many more waiting outside. It sounds just like things did right before the 2016 election. I’m not saying there is going to be a red wave. We’ll have to wait and see what happens on Tuesday.

I’m afraid you are right. As much as we would love to see more conservatives in our government so we can undo some of the other bad policies foisted on us, it is only a matter of time before we have a Socialist agenda in our House, Senate and Executive branch. It will be even worse when there are Socialists in all 3 branches at once.

Saw on the news (grain of salt recommended) that Florida has 30K more Republican voters registered than in 2016, and Democrats have 31K fewer.  That's a 61K party membership swing based on registration alone.  Of course, getting them to vote requires more effort. 

Many new FL residents relocated from Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. Interestingly, this article said those individuals are  not registering to vote in FL.
