A Week to Go

I filled out my absentee ballot yesterday and mailed it.  Old people get to do that in Michigan.  I hope my ballot's fate isn't linked to the reports that dozens/hundreds of absentee ballots mailed out by county clerks weeks ago have never reached their destinations.  My choices?  Let's just say you'd be real close to guessing correctly if you reckoned I voted as much anti-Establishment as I could, with very, very few exceptions.

How about this for the latest polls!  Trump is ahead in several of them and neck and neck in others.  I heard the WaPo poll has Trump ahead by 1.5% and the LA Times poll about the same.  I don't trust the polls usually and in this election I trust them even less.  I think a lot of usual nonvoters are coming out to vote.  Now, "likely voters" being asked are upping the numbers for Trump.  I sill think a lot of them have yet to be heard.  I don't claim to know who will win, but it's not going to be a runaway, unless the fix is in or I am very wrong in reading people.

One article I read in the past few days is saying to getting ready for 2000 all over again.  That is, Trump will win the popular vote, but Clinton will take the Electrical College (I know).  I don't want to see either one win, but it will be interesting to see the reactions to this.

How the Democrats will celebrate the system!  I hope they are reminded of 16 years ago and their reaction then--the theft of the election/White House.  It won't matter; they don't listen.  They are arrogant elitists.

Will, as I suggested weeks ago if this happens, Trump boosters react violently?  I saw a piece yesterday or today in the newspaper that broached that possibility.  Certainly nobody, well, no sane person, wants to see that happen.  But consider how alienated Trumpsters will feel and how they've watched for quite a few years now other groups riot, loot, burn, kill, etc. with impunity when they've felt aggrieved.

I see CNN fired that hypocrite Donna Brazile.  She's always seemed to be on her high horse, pontificating from on high about this and about that.  (I wonder if she's the daughter of the great Bobo Brazil, with just a letter different in the name??????)  "The fix is in?"  Gee, what is it when one debater gets the questions handed to her before the debate?  Maybe it's just a loophole?

Last, but not least today, I keep wondering which day will feel worse, next Tue or next Wed.  I still think I'm living a nightmare, a really bad dream, in which voters for President are faced with the two worst possible candidates for President, two candidates from whom there is no "lesser evil."  Then, the next day, I will wake up to the realization that one of them will have won.  I will have to face reality and see that "evil" has won.
