Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.

CPAC beginning today. Half of the attendees will be young and college age youth.
Have you noticed the large numbers of young peope in attendance at the Trump rally's? So don't tell me me have lost the youth vote. As large a population as with the Dems? No, but impressive, nonetheless.
What is the future in Democrat Primary Politics?
To answer the headline question, this editor believes we are already well down the path to a divided or contested convention. And in that reality, the Democrat's hope for a presidential victory is all but lost.
Of course, of course, of course, nothing is ever written in stone when it comes to politics, BUT on this side of the final decision, here is what we know.
Nevada Caucus Results: Bernie with 47% of the vote; Biden in a distant 2nd with 19%; Buttigieg with 15% and Warren with 10%.
The difference between Biden and the other two losers is not percetages, but rather, South Carolyna. Biden is reportedly strong in that state. Buttigieg and Warren are not and that is what keeps Biden in the race.
If Bloomberg picks up 400 or more deligates between now and the convention, the Democrat Convention will be a divided house for the first time in a long long time, period. And no one really knows how that will work in terms of outcomes.
I mean to say, if Bernie does not surrender his delegates, and the anti-Bernie mafia stands resolute , well, again, what comes next? And how is any of this anything but a electoral disaster for the Dems?
Understand that there are only three Democrat hopefuls remaining: Sanders, Biden and Bloomberg. And none of the three will have enough delegates to win the nomination. Enter Hillary? Or, Mrs. Obama? Maybe Mitt will make his split from the GOP official and try to capture the Democrat nomination??
For us conservatives, the Democrat Convention is going to be fun to watch. And the Dems only have themselves to blame.

While you try to evaluate the New Hampshire primary results, think about this:
In 2016, Bernie won New Hampshire with 151,000 votes. Last night, Bernie won with a little over 70,000.`
Update: Early reporting on FoxNews spoke of New Hampshire voting as a near-record, but this morning (Wednesday), on Outnumbered, the Democrat representative on the panel mentioned a low turnout as an accepted fact.

Nothing is written in stone, but this certainly is great news for the Patriot Nation.

According to pollster John McLaughlin, the impeachment process in the House has backfired on Democrats. While speaking in an interview Sunday, he predicted the proceedings will cause Democrats to lose their House majority in 2020.McLaughlin added, former Vice President Joe Biden was also a big loser in the trial as more evidence surfaced throughout the process of the corruption allegations levied against him.
“He was the front-runner and when they went after President Trump on impeachment, on Ukraine, they really took down Joe Biden, because we knew there was video of him saying he got a prosecutor fired and we knew that there were corruption problems with Hunter Biden and the Biden family,” he explained.

. . . . actually, I haven't seen a crowd count for the N. H. rally last night, but the arena was packed and Fox News reported 52,000 folks applied for tickets to the event.
Update: Trump rally in a packed arena last night was 12,000 with more than 12,000 outside the arena.
I must admit, I full expected the Trump crowds to subside, not get larger and larger over the years. Understand that by May of this year, many "undecided" voters will have made up their minds. my point? The Dems are running out of talent and time.

An insult to Biden: Monday, Bloomberg started running campaign ads featuring Barack Obama.
no article, just this Biden killing headline.
Standings before the new Hampshire primary on Tuesday:
Sanders 28%
Buttigieg 21%
Biden 12%
Warren 9%
Klobuchar 6%
Gabbard 5%
Yang 4%
Klobuchar rises as Warren fades: thiis is my headline and I am sticking to it.
CBS Boston:
Exclusive NH Tracking Poll: Sanders And Buttigieg Lead Amid Signs Of Momentum For Klobuchar
— BOSTON (CBS) — This wild, fluid New Hampshire primary just got a
little wilder. — All week long, the story has been the rise of Pete
Buttigieg to co-frontrunner status with Bernie Sanders.
Editor: Apparently few know how to spell Amy's last name. I have two 'official' spellings on this blog.
If this headline from the Wa/Post (no less) is true, loosing heart is the worst thing to happen to Democrat campaigners.
Washington Post:
‘Tempted to despair’: Trump's resilience causes Democrats to sound the alarm
— Anxiety is coursing through the Democratic Party as President Trump
emerges from his impeachment proceedings as a potent threat for
reelection, with party leaders and activists uncertain about how to beat
…
When he needs to working 24/7, Joe Biden has disappeared.
Biden Disappears In New Hampshire Amid Campaign Troubles
He is running so far behind that this question is pertinent: Does Biden not know how much trouble his campaign is in? Time, in short order, will tell. This blog has never believed Biden would make it to the end and he is their best hope (if we are to believe the Marxist polling data).
No, its not over (a brief that states the obvious)
You know by now that the Dems have nothing to run on other than their attacks , their personal attacks, on PresidentTrump. And on that score, what should we expect?
Understand that a second impeachment effort will be the vehicle used for their continued attacks. After all, "impeachment" carries with it a greater impact than "investigations." You should also know that "impeachment" for the 2020 Dems is never about the removal of the President. It wasn't the case in the first trial, nor, will it be the case in a second trial (not as long as the GOP holds the Senate majority). Insteacd "impeachment" is only a pretense used to advance continued investigations and extremely negative headlines for the purpose of winning the elections in November.

As November approaches, think about this polling fact:
The day before the 2016 elections, President Trump's Real Clear Polling Average was 37% and, with htat, he won the popular vote nationally except for one state (California). Today, the RCPA stands at 45%.
Secondly, a failed Sanders primary bid will make it impossible for the Dems to win in November (can't win without the Millennial vote).

David Siders / Politico:
DNC members discuss rules change to stop Sanders at convention
— DES MOINES, Iowa — A small group of Democratic National Committee
members has privately begun gauging support for a plan to potentially
weaken Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign and head off a brokered
convention.
Editor: You surely know that if Sanders is defeated by the Democrat Party ala the 2016 election and Hillary Clinton, the Dems will lose enough of the Millennial vote to make it impossible for a victory in November.
Pelosi and her impeachment strategy - is there another leg to this issue?
Speaker Pelosi says John Bolton may get subpoena from the House
Does this headline mean that Pelosi may change her mind about sending the Dec. 18 House approved impeachment documents to the Senate, that the House is not finished with its investigations, that she intends to take the impeachment issue well into the campaign season?
It is fairly obviou that Pelosi does not believe in the stregth of the House Impeachment Case (for lack of any solid evidence demanding impeachment). As a result, the Dems continue to investigate, desparately hoping to find a "smoking gun"and continue to dream up ways to slow down or stall the impeachment process. Of course, "they" have already stepped off the ledge and the closer to the actual election this impeachment episode comes, the more of a negative for the Democrats it can be. Guranteed, Trump will want the trial to be a four or five week affair, similar to the Clinton trial.
Couple this problem with the fact that Barack has already gone on record as being unhappy with a possible Warren nomination and sees Sanders is too much of a socialist and the election cycle as a problem, becomes a serious and overwhelming (?) issue for the Dems.
Think about it.
A surprising 2020 prediction coming from The Hill:
2020 forecast: A House switch, a slimmer Senate for GOP — and a bigger win for Trump
State of the Democrat Primary Race at the end of December, 2020
Dec 27: After enjoying a brief surge in the polls
in early fall, closing the gap or even surpassing former Vice President
Joe Biden in the polls in early October, Warren has lost momentum.
Nearly all recent national polls
show Warren having slipped back into third place behind Biden, who
enjoys a double digit lead over the field in many polls, and democratic
socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (VT).
A recent CNN poll gives Biden 26 of the Democratic vote, Sanders 20, and Warren 16. An NBC News/WSJ survey shows Biden with 28, Sanders 21, and Warren 18. Emerson gives Biden 32, Sanders 25, and Warren just 12. In some polls, Biden’s support more than doubles that of Warren, including a recent survey by The Hill, which gives Biden 29 and both Sanders and Warren 13.
