Just like that!<\/p>\n<p>All across the political landscape I keep seeing reporting that tells us of once-sure-fire Democratic victories becoming nail-biters. Republican dumbass MAGA-loving candidates actually appear to be poised to upset their foes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s making me wonder: What the hell is wrong with this country?<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t sign any surrender documents until they count all the ballots next week. Some of these contests might not be decided until, oh, late next week &#8230; or maybe into the following week!<\/p>\n<p>Whatever. My enthusiasm is waning. I fear a political bloodbath might be in store. I continue to have faith that our cherished Constitution will see the nation through.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just going to be a rough, tough fight.<\/p>\n<p>Now, having made all this gloomy prediction, the polls have been wrong a lot in recent years.
