I think it would probably just be par for the course. I mean, he pretty much comes out of everything unscathed, and nothing much has changed.<br /><br />As for this possibly facilitating a blue wave if the Daniels interview ends up doing serious damage, sure, I could see that, mainly because it would the first time that anything would have seriously damaged Trump. I just don't see how, even if all the allegations turn out to be true, it would do any real damage.<br /><br />I think I'm becoming a cynic.Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-81033815578823818952018-03-22T18:59:45.142+09:002018-03-22T18:59:45.142+09:00There are a lot of factors that could affect the b...There are a lot of factors that could affect the blue wave; my point was merely that, if the Daniels interview ends up doing serious damage, then this could influence what happens in November and facilitate any blue wave. If, however, Trump comes out of this mostly or wholly unscathed, that fact might actively bolster the confidence of his base, thus leading to a possible voter boost come the midterms. That boost represents the "strike" against the blue wave that I was talking about.<br /><br />All in all, though, I suspect you're probably right. A lot of this has to do not so much with political ideology as with raw power and privilege. Slick Willie the Democrat had both, and that's how he was able to get away with his transgressions. Trump the Republican is in the same boat, so yeah, the Daniels interview will likely be little more than a ripple in the long run.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-22561831264535361242018-03-22T18:33:17.696+09:002018-03-22T18:33:17.696+09:00I would be roughly 0% surprised to find out that t...I would be roughly 0% surprised to find out that the allegations are true. I would also be roughly 0% surprised if that truth then turned out to make absolutely no difference. After all, it is not illegal to have an affair with a porn star. And, like you said, this is something that we already knew about Drumpf--it's not like anyone is shocked by this.<br /><br />Which also leads me to believe that the inevitable nothingness that will follow whatever happens will not be a strike against the "blue wave." If you like Drumpf, you like Drumpf. If you hate Drumpf, you hate Drumpf. This will change nothing and will be unlikely to affect the midterm elections one way or the other. That's my take, at least.Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.com
