A lot of people are a bit concerned about the results of the upcoming election. I thought it would help everyone's anxiety if I went ahead and told you, in general terms, what will happen after this coming Tuesday.
(I am not telling you what I want to happen or who I support; only what will happen. Make a note of it.)
Currently Republicans control both the House and the Senate, but not by all that much. In the midterms it's not at all uncommon for the party that doesn't control the White House to make gains. Also, the war in Iran has dismayed many of President Trump's supporters. Iran has been attacking us for almost fifty years, and direct conflict with them was inevitable, but Trump is the one who pulled the trigger. Also, gas prices.
Both chambers will flip. Not by a whole lot (although it will be declared a landslide) but by enough for the Democrats to take control. This is a fairy safe prediction, considering the sitting president's party didn't hold the House in 8 of the last 9 midterms. My 2028 presidential election predictions are, well, not so safe.
I don't care much for most of the national politicians in either party, so I will be neither dancing nor crying in the streets. They're going to continue to spend us into oblivion, either way.
The results will trigger immediate charges from both sides of cheating, and legal challenges will go on for months. Say hello to recount season. As a firm believer in voter IDs (at no charge to the voter), I might mutter "I told you so" under my breath, but I'm not sure we've ever had an election with no fraud.
Well, there was the one time, when I came in eight out of seven candidates for Student Council, behind "None of the above".
President Trump, who always says what he means whether he's right or not, will be leading the fraud charge and have a lot of not-nice things to say. This balances out, when you consider all the not-nice things people say about him.
In the resulting chaos, thousands of lawyers will get filthy rich: both those in court cases, and those in Congress.
Democrats, elected on their promise to get things done, will spend the next two years doing everything they can to impeach Trump and do away with anything at all that was done during his presidency, whether there was any good to it or not. Lawyers will make lots more money. To be fair, that's what the Republicans would have done if the situation was reversed.
For the next two years nothing will get done. We'll spend a lot of money not doing it, though.
In 2028, the presidential primaries will get nasty. Really nasty. I mean, even by primary standards. There will be 1,476 candidates between the major parties, the smaller parties, and the independents.
When the dust settles, the major party Presidential candidates will be J.D. Vance and Andy Beshear, who is apparently the Governor of Kentucky. Beshear's VP candidate will be a person of color, female, gay, or some combination thereof.
A lot of things can happen in two years, but my gut is telling me the Democrats, who will be shouting Trump's name even more than his supporters did in 2016, will take the White House.
Although personally, I'd support these two:
Now that you've gotten this far I'm going to disappoint some of you: I am NOT open to debating politics. With anyone. Yes, I'm serious about the predictions, but I'm still a humorist: Say you laughed or didn't, then move on. If you want to express how much you hate this or that person, do it on your own platform.
