WE Americans are never going to be satisfied . The Day (day's) after the Midterm Elections 2018. (1)>>Waking up to the stark reality that our two party system is a failure . While voters have changed who they voted for . A Few years back the election that swept Barack Obama into the Oval office was a voter rebellion against the Bush era in 2008 . Public dissatisfaction with government was an all time high . The Obama win was historic for America , in an almost celebrity status , there were hopes that as the first African American as President Obama would deliver the necessity of the American dream. In 2008 it had created (2)>> the first BLUE WAVE. When Obama failed the voters in 2010 they flipped, put in a majority of Republicans who are now control congress . The election of Donald Trump can be seen in 2016 as a voter backlash , while Hillary Clinton was most probably more qualified, she lost to Trump due to "internal" factors rather than a act of meddling by Russians . The Republicans under Trump became the alt-right , not just the conservative right . (3)>>The populism , putting America fist was not a bad idea . Making America great means a lot more than spewing angry rhetoric , tweeting sarcasm . Donald Trump is a showman he knows how to give great scripted speeches , rallies the crowed . (4)>>Donald Trump's far right moves are vary suspicious . Over the two years he has kept his "promises" to basically to undo the Obama era .The Democrats won the House and the Republicans strengthened their lead in the Senate. How will this affect the nation when those new congresspeople get into office?The Democratic victory would also stonewall much of Trump’s agenda. Republicans had vowed to pursue further tax cuts and changes to popular government programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid and social security. They also pledged to repeal and replace Barack Obama’s healthcare law, a years-long quest that will assuredly fail with Democrats now holding one of the chambers. What will the 2020 map look like? Following the midterms, media attention will quickly begin to look forward to the 2020 Election. What can Democrats learn by looking at the map of results from yesterday, and how can this help them prepare to succeed in 2020? While Tuesday night was not a humiliation for Trump or the Republicans. They worked hard to hold on to control of the Senate. They also did enough to see off challenges from progressive would-be governors such as Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Andrew Gillum in Florida. One could also argue it’s a blue wave based on (5)>>how historic some of the Democrats’ wins were. There will be a record number of women in Congress next year. The House could have close to 100 women, most of them Democrats who decided to run for public office in response to Trump’s election. The new Democratic caucus will include the first Native American women, the first Muslim women and the youngest woman, who is also Latina, ever elected to Congress. While the Democrats took the

house there remains a problem. If you look at the geo-political map there is not enough of the "blue".  Here is another problem, if this were a the (6)>>2020 Presidential election held now & Donald Trump were to face off a hypothetical match  between Oprah Winfrey [ not if she will run] but all this red indicates in this midterms that the President Trump will win a second term . This map says a great deal . So even if the Democrats take back the House as they did . It will not change this map .  Unless more states go "blue" , there is a great shift starting now , were likely to see the same fiasco of the 2016 election . No doubt, Democrats who will now chair all House committees will do everything possible to make Trump's life difficult. The Democrats are more likely to make running the nation just as bad as the Republicans . If Republican obstructionism was key in wracking the Obama policy . WE can expect government gridlock to boil over in 2019 . For one thing, Trump would remain able to block Democratic initiatives — just as they could stop his plans for more tax cuts and a 5 percent cut to Cabinet department budgets. What instead would likely result is continued gridlock — perhaps even more entrenched than what exists now in Washington. The increased Republican majority in the Senate, however, will make it easier for Trump to continue to appoint judges and remake the nation’s judiciary branch in a more conservative mold.   Arrayed against a stout Republican majority in the Senate, a Democratic House majority couldn't do much to reorder the economy, which typically hinges more on the willingness of consumers and businesses to spend and on the state of the global economy than on government policy priorities.  The hostile rhetoric makes it unlikely that Democrats and Republicans would join to pass any meaningful legislation for the economy, such as for infrastructure rebuilding. Like the (7)>>Democrats , the Republican party are both failures , they are failing Americans .



NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>Waking up to the stark reality that our two party system is a failure . If the midterm elections in America were a movie, they’d be a psychological horror fetish flick. A hogtied electorate is approached by two parties, each promising freedom if only the bound electorate will pledge complete loyalty. One glance at the wrong “saviour” and the deal is off. Sadly the twist is that, in the end, neither party frees the captive.The US is a one-party nation: The Plutocrat Party. It has a left-wing of the socially liberal and a right wing of the socially reactionary but when it comes to money, taxes and power it is the same party whose only allegiance is to the plutocrats and the megacorporations. Until the US voters understand this, they will continue to be exploited and reduced to peonage as the Plutocrat Party destroys the middle class. That this realization will occur is unlikely, however, and the imperial republic of the United States will continue its downward spiral into a banana republic with a ruling junta of plutocrats, financiers and megacorporation CEOs.America is not the land of the free, it is the land of the enslaved masses, who are coopted into a designed system of taxation and commerce set up to serve the interests of a ruling plutocracy.. It doesn't matter who you vote for.. Until people recognize this and start thinking about a sustainable future, the outlook is bleak.(2)>> the first BLUE WAVE.In 2008 . Barack Obama is the first president-elect in 32 years to receive a Congress under the firm control of his party, a powerful political gift that bodes well for the enactment of an expansive Democratic agenda. Starting January 2009, at the beginning of the 111th Congress, in the month that Barack Obama was inaugurated president, the House of Representatives was made up of 257 Democrats and 178 Republicans. There is no question that Democrats had total control in the House from 2009-2011. Even with numerous “blue-dog” (allegedly fiscally conservative) Democrats often voting with Republicans.....Speaker Pelosi had little difficulty passing legislation in the House. The House does not have the pernicious filibuster rule which the Senate uses. A majority vote in the House is all that’s necessary to pass legislation, except in rare occurrences (treaty ratification, overriding a presidential veto).An aside....it was during this time that Obama’s “stimulus” was passed. No Republicans in the House voted for the stimulus. However, in the Senate.....and because Democrats didn’t have “total control” of that chamber.....three Republicans.....Snowe, Collins and Specter, voted to break a filibuster guaranteeing it’s passage. Then in April, 2009, Republican Senator Arlen Specter became a Democrat. Kennedy was still at home, dying, and Al Franken was still not seated. Score in April, 2009....Democratic votes 58. The truth....then....is this: Democrats had “total control” of the House of Representatives from 2009-2011, 2 full years. Democrats, and therefore, Obama, had “total control” of the Senate from September 24, 2009 until February 4, 2010. A grand total of 4 months. So what exactly was done ? The Congress was so shackled trying to pass the  Affordable Care Act which took up everything the government was supposed to do , it began  a decade of new gridlock . By 2014 voters had enough and sent Obama a clear message ( Like they did to Trump now .Lol!) by voting again the Republicans ! (3)>>The populism , putting America fist was not a bad idea . Putting America first can mean many things . I think that putting the People ahead of politics is better . RESTORING THE AMERICAN DREAM as it fades away with the burden of high taxation , un-affordability of our living standards have not kept up inflation . Today, after the financial crisis, the shrinking of the middle class, the partisan warfare can be overcomed It is time for a new party who honestly represents the needs of working American men and women. (4)>>Donald Trump's far right moves are vary suspicious . When I first heard that Donald Trump was a "Republican " I was laughing really . He was embraced by the Evangelicals to the extant that they forgave his past sins . Now that Republicans have allowed themselves to be formed into the personal party of Donald Trump, forget the TEA PARTY . Trump has energized a large segment who are on the far right of the spectrum. The Democrats have not unified their beliefs regarding where they should be positioned on the left of the spectrum. Hopefully, most Americans reside somewhere close to the middle and democracy will prevail. (5)>>how historic some of the Democrats’ wins were.   Obviously the Democrats have more diversity  of women and ethnic representation that appeals to what we call minorities . The Republican base is vary weak on diversity.    Democrats may be fielding a more racially diverse slate of candidates than ever before, and they acknowledge they are more dependent on nonwhite voters to deliver their victories. So far in 2018, 13 women have won gubernatorial primaries, 198 women have won House primaries and 19 women have won primaries in U.S. Senate races. That number took a jump this week with three more women securing their party’s Senate nominations.  (6)>>2020 Presidential election held now.  On the remade electoral map, Republicans have the built-in edge. If Trump can hold most of the states he won in 2016, he’s well on his way to victory. Meanwhile, the list of Republican states that Democrats can hope to flip is short. While Democrats reclaimed the House in the midterm elections, there’s a real danger of overreach that comes with renewed heft in Congress. The party has already planned extensive investigations into alleged corruption, among other schemes, to confound Trump. Trump’s electoral base wouldn’t mind a handful of ideological betrayals since rank-and-file Republicans are really here for the culture war stuff and not for the concrete policy anyway. So Trump would enter the 2020 campaign with his base intact but also with the brand as a freethinking moderate who’s at odds with the right wing of congressional Republicans. Democrats would end up nominating someone with a relatively extreme rejectionist profile, and Trump would be in a good position to improve his approval ratings and get reelected.   (7)>>Democrats , the Republican party are both failures , they are failing Americans      It is time for the voters in the USA to establish a multiparty system such as in the Northern European countries and Germany, where the people select candidates, not based on the thickness of their wallet but on the social and economic agendas, be it protection of nature, affordable housing and education for all i.e. creating equal opportunities for all to succeed in life etc. Multiparty system creates consensus through compromise while two-party system has led to confrontation and destructive partisan behavior in the governance of the USA...
