IRRITATING, BUT HARDLY SURPRISING

By Bob Walsh

All of the election contests I was interested in went the way I would have rather they did NOT go.  I am totally unsurprised.  

I admit to being slightly surprised at the number of people (based on man-on-the-street media interviews) who bought into Gavin Newsom's bullshit about Proposition 50.  

The Democrats will without a doubt try to paint this as a referendum on Donald Trump.  They will no doubt have some success at it.  Whether this will add up to anything in the mid-terms has yet to be determined.  

With a bit of luck Prop 50 will not survive court challenges.

Also Donald Trump is making some noise about a major federal investigation into voting practices in the formerly great state of California.  Which, even if it occurs, may not produce anything of any major note.

Life is hard, and sometimes unfair, and you can't always get what you want.
