Clearly I Missed This One

There will plenty of time for soul-searching.

A few ponderables:

1. From 2016, is Trump the leader of a cult of personality of the leader of a worldwide populist movement? Kind of looks like the latter.

2. Did the GOP upgrade their leadership when Priebus left? Will they ever match the Dems on organization?

3. Can the peasants beat big donors over time? Was 2016 a fluke? Will Steyers and Soros and Bezos, etc., continue to call the shots?

4. Will "The Storm" ever arrive? Why didn't we get a little turbulence before mid-terms?

5. Will China be emboldened with a weakened US president? Did they just win the trade war?
