I predicted that Trump would win the republican nomination and would be defeated by Clinton in the general election.

By the way, I will soon stop posting my posts on Facebook. If you wish to receive my blog posts, you must enter your email address in the subscription field in the upper right hand corner of my blog. http://www.webtalkwithbob.blogspot.com

The email field may not appear on your mobile phone unless you select to read the post in your browser.I have written more than 650 posts to this blog with many predictions. Let me review two of them.

More than two years ago when Elizabeth Warren was appointed to the newly created director of the department of consumer protection, I explained it was a billion dollar make-work project for an Obama friend. My rational was that we already had a "department of consumer protection" and a "director," which was congress and the president respectively. Additionally, we did not need another department until the one we had worked. Warren "protected" us consumers, then quit and ran for senator. As far as I know, she has no business experience so she is supremely qualified for the work she is doing, not really. Her old department, as i predicted,  has faded into oblivion.

More than a year ago, I predicted that Trump would win the republican nomination and be defeated by Clinton in the general election. I was very much alone in my Trump prediction and sided with the odds makers in my Clinton prediction. I am right so far and I still believe that the final part of my prediction will happen. 

Why? Because the general public does not like disruption and prefers the slow. almost clandestine, imperceptible erosion of America's jobs and quality of life, my prediction will come true. Professional politicians know that in general the public has a 90 day memory and votes the same way. The media has the same memory or less. 

The more history you read the more you see the struggle to find truth and to define the  American way has not changed. I have lived for 73 of these past years and bear witness to the wasted wars and elusive economic policies that have buried hope in the past. With no public memory and no media to remind us of history, Clinton wins the whole ball game.
