Oh, to be wrong once more

Or, you could kiss my ass.

In the process of copying all my Warehouse posts over to a more portable format, I occasionally stumble across things that I was totally wrong about. Hard to believe, I know.

But here’s this one from 2011, my first mention of Donald J. Trump on this blog. Yeah, I was right about him being a horse’s ass, but so was everyone else. No, it’s this line that bothers me:

“It’s not Trump who’s dangerous. He’ll never be elected president and he knows it.”

And here we are in 2024. Trump lost the popular vote bigtime but was elected anyway and now polls suggest it might happen again. After all the fraud and felonies and lies and insurrection, he’s somehow ahead.

Or seems to be. Polls have been wrong before, and I pray they are this time too. But I’m beginning to see that there’s no underestimating the American public. And I’m more than a little worried.
