prognostications

Instapundit links to a Kurt Schlichter article humorously titled "Top Conservative Predictions for the Rest of 2017." To sum them up (slightly edited):

1. ROY MOORE WILL WIN (Confidence Factor: 80%)

2. THE DEMOCRATS, THE GOPe, AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA WILL NOT TAKE A PERSONAL INVENTORY AND THINK ABOUT THEIR ROLE IN ELECTING ROY MOORE. (Confidence Factor: 95%)

3. TAX REFORM WILL DIE IN THE SENATE (Confidence Factor: 70%)

[NB: this may already have been proven wrong. McCain is slated to vote for the reform this time around, which improves its chances of passing.]

4. CONGRESS WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM PASSING AMNESTY, I MEAN DREAMERS REFORM, YEAH, DREAMERS REFORM (Confidence Factor: 75%)

5. BEN SASSE WILL UTTER SOME HACK CLICHÉ AS HE VIRTUE-SIGNALS ABOUT SOMETHING (Confidence Factor: 95%)

6. SOME [AMBIGUOUS] OCCURRENCE WILL BE TAKEN AS PROOF POSITIVE MUELLER IS ABOUT TO ARREST EVERYONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE BUT THEN NOTHING WILL HAPPEN (Confidence Factor: 70%)

7. THE MEDIA WILL START RUNNING THINK PIECES ON HOW A LITTLE GROPING DOESN’T MEAN YOU AREN’T A [FEMINIST] (Confidence Factor: 77%)

8. TRUMP WILL TWEET ABOUT SOMETHING, AND THE LIBERALS AND WUSSY NEVER-TRUMPERS WILL FREAK OUT, AND WE CONSERVATIVES WILL LAUGH HYSTERICALLY (Confidence Factor: 100%)

If you're interested, go read the article to see the explanations behind each prediction. (I had to look up who Ben Sasse was, by the way. He's the junior senator from Nebraska.)
