"He HONESTLY believed, until last night, that he'd STILL have the House and the Senate today."
It is pretty scary if you think about it. No question that the presidency of the US is the most powerful office in the world. Yet its occupant goes into situations like this election with blinders on. There was no obvious plan B, much less a line leading to alternate plan Z23, there was only plan A. And faith. Given the implications, both personally and for his agenda, of losing just one house, much less both, this is a shocker. That means, by implication, that he never considers anything but the most optimistic outcome. They really didn't have any plan but the rose petal and oil paying for the war in Iraq. They really did think, no, believed, that the Middle East would fall like dominos.
In other words, they really do live in a fantasy world. They are children playing with matches. |
