Political war moves to stage two.

POLITICAL  ROPE  A  DOPE  STRATEGY BEGINS

HIGH STAKES STRATEGY WILL INCREASE VOLATILITY

The Kavanaugh hearings were a  glimpse into the Democratic party exercising their power. Whether this alone or the fact that it was unlikely that Republicans could retain control of the house seems to be the impetus for the strategy for the midterm elections.

It was clear that the President had decided his priority was to keep control of the senate. He went all out with this strategy and has come up with his plan for the next two years.

It is estimated that $6 billion dollars was spent on this election. It may very well be double if you can calculate all the third party and in kind contributions.

The 2020 election will probably cost $4 billion for just the presidential race. For all contests it could be near $16 billion.

Both Nancy Polosi and Trump have voiced their hope of working to pass some important legislation in the next 2 years. It is doubtful that Polosi will be able to keep her party under control. They have made it clear that they expect to use their power to investigate the president, wall street and anyone who they view as an enemy. 

I believe Trump is counting on this. He will bait them continually to attack, attack and attack some more.

Maxine Waters, as head of the Finance committee has vowed to investigate and punish wall street. Gerald Nadler has pledged to impeach not only Trump but Brett Kavanaugh.  This will give the Republicans the Billions in contributions they will need for the next election.

As far as impeachment, they most likely will not be able to control themselves and Trump will provoke them continually. They really will never be able to get the 67% of the senate needed to remove the president. Trump will not resign, this will be greatest contest of his life and he will enjoy the fight.

While the Democrats are burning rubber up and down Pennsylvania avenue, creating a lot of smoke and noise, Trump will be able to nominate and confirm a record number of judges and possibly another Supreme court Justice. 

He will no longer be limited by Flake, Murkowski and Collins, as he most likely has enough votes to bypass them.

He will now be able to fire and replace many of those who have attempted to sabotage his administration. 

All this, while the Democrats will have dozens of candidates hoping to win their nomination for president. It will cost them Billions in contributions. It may very well create a real war over the direction of  their party.

It may very well make the last two years look like a walk in the park.

NOTHSTEIN, WILD DEBATE SHELVED

LIKELY TO BE LAST DEBATE ATTENDED BY REPUBLICANS

The Lehigh Valley league of women voters held a debate on October 25. in Northampton county. The debate was attended by around 200 supporters of both candidates. The League told those interested that there was no need to tape the debate as they would make it available for viewing on their website. I personally did not attend the debate, expecting to view it on local TV as has been the custom in the past.

It seems that the democratic candidate Susan Wild did not have a very good night. I have been told by several parties that Wild had a Freudian slip, not once but twice, on the question of immigration. It is reported she answered,"I am for open bor...", oops  and then went on to say she was for enforcing the law. Whether this was an accident or trying to impress both camps in the crowd we will not know, especially since the League has decided they will not put out the video for viewing. Some have said, they will put out parts of the debate, those that were favorable to Wild.

The league has always portrayed itself as a non partisan group, but it seems it has succumbed to the growing practice of becoming not a facilitator of information for the community, but a player on the side of the democratic party. I viewed their website, it is a 100% left leaning partisan agenda. That is OK, every organization has a right to reflect the views of their members. 

Hey, Lehigh Valley League of Women Voters, just be honest with voters, you are just one more left wing activist group. You will able to host all the Democratic primary debates of the future.
