Reading Tea Leaves

We all want to know what will happen in the future. Over the ages people have used tea leaves, crystal balls and many other dubious methods to forecast it. Today we have political analysis. It’s just about as accurate.

Several states held elections on Tuesday. Many analysts talked about what it meant to the 2020 election. In actuality, it doesn’t mean a thing. Over the next year there will be many changes that aren’t expected. Michael Bloomberg entering the presidential race is a perfect example.

Elections in Virginia and Kentucky are cited as proof that Republicans are in deep trouble. Both houses of the Virginia legislature are in Democratic hands. That shouldn’t be much of a surprise. Virginia is now a blue state.
An unpopular Republican governor in Kentucky appears to have narrowly lost. That can’t be a big shock. Besides, he would have won had the Libertarian Party not siphoned off votes.

There is an easy way to learn who our next president will be. Just stay up and watch the election returns.
