When have they ever?  We chose Trump.  As you no doubt recall, a Bushie was their 'odds on.' 

I don't give a damn about onslaughts; onslaughts come and go.  Trump battled through more than a few and showed his measure.  Generally speaking, our lives tend to go on unaffected; damage is limited to members of the legislature.  Having said as much, I want Thomas to retire and Cruz to be nominated immediately, and on the bench by mid-January.  We'll get perhaps 30 more years out of Cruz, and, an Associate Justice that promises to show at least a modicum of inquisitiveness during oral arguments.    

Three problems with that:  Collins, Murkowski & Romney.   Much is being said about the Republicans holding on to the Senate.  I would rather hear much is being said of conservatives gaining strength in the Senate.  

If, again, you need a translator, I'm sorry.  As the mind's light dims, brighter grows the light with the approach of the Eternal Light.
