The level of rage displayed here in the case of a funeral situation is the reason voters in the middle are likely to show up and resist. Whatever the policies or ideologies under debate, my prediction is a fairly big reversal come November. We need to wait and see, could be misreading the pulse but that’s my guess.
There's no "blue" wave coming. The Left could've pulled that off if their elected representatives hadn't attacked a federal agency that protects their idiotic, tone-deaf asses and demanded that it be abolished, thus costing thousands of federal workers their jobs and worsening an already-terminal illegal immigration problem the country's been struggling with for 30 years with no light at the end of the tunnel. Piling untimely moves one after the other, they've also failed to create or define a program that's easy to understand, appeals to Trump's base (for without them, they can't sweep a kitchen floor, let alone the Congress), and is an improvement on an already-roaring economy. Finally, they've gone on the record defending people who have no right to be in the country and putting their interests ahead of the people who already live here. Their one and only "trump" card is - Donald Trump's past infidelities and controversially populist statements at his rallies.
You cannot budge the American right or middle to the left with a platform that threadbare and incoherent. They have a self-admitted socialist who just took office in the Bronx and isn't even 30 years old. The party's in disarray. The media failed them two years ago and it'll fail them again as Americans increasingly tune out of the MSM and either watch Fox News or no news at all. When you turn on CNN, MSNBC, or any of the other big networks, within 5 seconds you hear the word "Trump", "Mueller," "Michael Cohen," or "Storm Daniels." It's like one endless episode of Big Bang Theory that never ends. The elites, as usual, have misread their public.
McCain was not a war hero. He was a soldier who served his country bravely and was captured, tortured, and eventually released. They don't give medals to just anyone in the military; you have to have a track record of saving peoples' lives, putting your own in danger, or being injured badly in the line of duty (which he was). As a politician, he had no scruples and sided with whichever way the prevailing wind was blowing. He was not a staunch conservative. These cheap, tasteless, and vicious attacks by his family against our President, as well as their incomprehensible snub of him while inviting former leaders, most of them liberal Democrats, to the service, is an unmistakable lurch to the gutter on the part of his family and the establishment Republicans that people rejected 2 years ago. They banned the Palins from attending, despite the fact that Sarah Palin was his VP PICK 10 YEARS AGO. Articles reviewing his memoirs mention how hurt she was by his vitriolic comments about her and how she cost him the race.
This guy even voted against MLK day in 1986 and had to suck black peoples' asses 10 years ago to try to get their votes. He was the true definition of a political con-man, a snake, and a guy skating by on a record that was never great in the first place. If Hell exists, he's certainly burning there right now for the wars he pushed so hard for and left so many injured or killed in doing.
