It’s a good thing I’m so bad at predicting the results of upcoming elections.
Lately, I’ve been feeling doom and gloom about November. It seems like Kamala and the Democrats are on a roll, thanks in large part to the prospect of electing America’s first female president.
I understand the sentiment; I really do, even though I am not a female. In 2008, I voted for Obama largely because I thought a black president would be good for the country. Obama, I felt, would heal (at least somewhat) the omnipresent racial tensions in the United States.
And so, I can understand why so many women might think it’s high time for a lady in the Oval Office. It’s their time, and it might heal (at least somewhat) the battle of the sexes in the United States.
God help all of us.

The problem with Harris isn’t her sex. The problem is that she’s an idiot.
But she makes a good story, and we’ve already witnessed Trump’s story, and we all crave a new story.

Just two weeks ago, thanks to the collapse of bumbling, stumbling Joe Biden and, especially, the failed assassination attempt on Trump, I thought things looked bright for the right. The left tried to jail him, then nail him, but the Orange Man emerged triumphant.
But now voters and the media are aboard the Kamala bandwagon, and I am feeling gloomy.

The good news is that I suck at predicting these things. I was shocked and awed when Trump got elected in 2016. I thought Hillary would prevail. I bought into the media’s expected Republican “red wave” in 2022. It didn’t happen.
And now I have the sinking sensation that Kamala will be redecorating the White House.
Good thing I’m usually so bad at my predictions.

As for Tim Walz, well.
I live in Minnesota, and he is just as rotten as you might think.
