After the incipient blue tsunami — updated 10/22/20

First of all, I want to distinguish the difference between a tidal wave and a tsunami. A mighty wave suddenly crashes on the beach; there’s a great deal of destruction on and around the beach; then it pretty much washes back into the sea and disappears. A tsunami, on the other hand, builds slowly out at sea, generating vast energy. Then it washes ashore with almost silent ferocity, taking everything in its path with it. The destruction of a tsunami is more widespread, absorbing everything in its path, and traveling well inland. And on its return back to the sea, it ensnares everything it pounded the first time and heaves it in the opposite direction, further destroying everything it may have somehow missed the first time.

More level-headed approaches would argue that the election this November is going to be very close and that any political mandate will therefore be limited. I am convinced that the election will not be close and will therefore provide the winner, Joe Biden, a strong mandate. Given that we are and still will be dealing with a situation that is both a public health catastrophe, a national multi-ethnic and multi-generational awokening, and an economic cataclysm, I think incumbent President DJT we’ll be lucky to hold on to his 40% base, the Senate goes Democratic, the House expands its majority thus providing Biden with the strongest mandate that we've seen, I’d argue, since 1932.
