It was 20 years ago when Hugh Hewitt released “If It’s Not Close They Can’t Cheat”.<\/p>\n
And he was finally right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As this is written, Wednesday morning, Donald Trump has 277 electoral votes nailed down.\u00a0 Trump could actually get over 300 – as this is written, Michigan, Arizona, Alaska and Nevada and their 35 votes are still up in the air, but trending toward Trump.<\/p>\n
The US Senate has flipped, and. might actually get to 56 GOP votes. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The US House is still very much up in the air, and likely will be for a while, but the GOP has flipped several seats and, as far as I know, lost none. \u00a0 If I had to bet, I’d say they hold the majority, and the trifecta. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking of trifectas – the DFL’s is at least hobbled.\u00a0 As this is written the MN House is tied<\/em> at 67-67, with a few recounts underway.\u00a0 I’m not sure what happens with a tied House – Lisa Demuth and Melissa Hortman arm-wrestle for the gavel?\u00a0 I’m going with Lisa.\u00a0<\/p>\n Some good <\/em>news – Anoka rejected municipal trash.\u00a0 That is something worth celebrating.<\/p>\n The Piglet is over.<\/p>\n I got home after 2AM.\u00a0 Posting may be light today.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was 20 years ago when Hugh Hewitt released “If It’s Not Close They Can’t Cheat”.
