I learned less than three hours ago that I am moving tomorrow and there are issues with getting my Internet reconnected. I’m offline until further notice. Please take care of the site until I return.
Here are the results of our “Predict the Midterms” Poll. Politics Plus Polls are not scientific, because those who respond are not balanced according to demographic categories. Therefore, we do not accurately reflect the makeup of the US population. Nevertheless, our polls are usually factually accurate, and more often than not, they reflect thinking of the majority of those who actually do think.
And here are your comments.

Poll was accurate.

I think they can take both the House & the Senate, but only a slim a majority in the Senate.
Posted by dave c October 21, 2018 at 1:07 pm. From: MN (US)
hope the dems win both, but at least the house seems possible, can’t imagine the senate…..however, too much fear and anger which drive the average vote too much and suspect only helps GOP so sadly I don’t think either flip….surely hope I am way wrong
Posted by Jim Phillips October 17, 2018 at 7:25 am. From: CA (US)
I want the Demos to win both the House & Senate. Positivism is what I really want. We need to be positive, forward thinking for the future. YES!

I wish Democrats would win both, but for now we’ll have to contend ourselves with just the House. It’s not enough, fr from it, but it could make American and global life a little more bearable.
Posted by Katie & Bill Dresbach October 15, 2018 at 2:57 pm. From: OH (US)
we think the Dems will Win the House and Senate
we need this to happen!
Be sure to go Vote!
Posted by gene October 15, 2018 at 12:47 am. From: MN (US)
Option 4. The chances of taking the Senate are much greater in 2020 and 2022. It would be enough, for now, if we can take and hold the House. ALL money bills have to originate there. That would be a check on the republicans that we desperately need while Mueller finishes and hopefully Trump and his regime are taken down.
Posted by Lynn Squance October 14, 2018 at 6:33 pm. From: BC (CA)
OMG!!! I chose option 4 but I am truly hoping for option 3 — a clean sweep by Democrats that will give Diaper Don indigestion at just the thought of having to work with them. Republicans are doing their best (as always!) to steal the election through voter suppression and election fraud. Just the idea that the Russians interfered in the 2016 election and very little if anything has been done to secure the voting system since is reason to question any Republican wins. Dems, don’t squander the opportunity!
Posted by SoINeedAName October 14, 2018 at 2:45 pm. From: MO (US)
It’d be sweet if we took the Senate, too – but the cards are stacked against us from the get-go.
Just too steep a hill to climb with that many open seats to defend.
Posted by Yvonne White October 14, 2018 at 12:55 pm. From: IL (US)
I think Democrats will win both, but by too small a majority in the Senate to Remove Kavanaugh & Trump after the House Impeachs them.
Posted by Animae October 14, 2018 at 11:51 am. From: (AU)
Fingers & toes crossed for BOTH!
Posted by Nita L October 14, 2018 at 10:44 am. From: TX (US)
I think with the info that we have right now, the Dems will win the house. I hope I’m wrong about the Senate and we take it too.
Posted by Mitch D. October 14, 2018 at 10:38 am. From: NJ (US)
If I tried to hold my breath that long, I might not get to see the results, but, I’m trying to keep my expectations fairly low. A surprise would be a wonderful gift!
Posted by Pat B October 14, 2018 at 10:34 am. From: TX (US)
I’d love to see the Dems get on board with both houses, however, my intuition is leaning towards the House. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we won both??
Posted by Diane October 14, 2018 at 9:44 am. From: PA (US)
I hope the Dems will take both but, I don’t think it will happen. I’ll settle for the House for now and hopefully the Dems will start kicking some ass instead of rolling over and playing dead.
Posted by Colleen October 14, 2018 at 9:15 am. From: CA (US)
I honestly hoping that with all that has been going on, especially with more people signing up to vote, that we the Dems, will get a chance at taking over the senate. We do need a chance especially NOW.
Posted by Joanne D October 14, 2018 at 9:03 am. From: CO (US)
I hope I’m wrong … and I think if all votes were to be fairly recorded and counted we’d have a good chance of winning both. But I don’t think that is going to happen. I think we have such overwheming advantages to win the House that that will happen, though the recorded totals may underestimate the extent to which it happens. But I don’t think we have enough of an advantage for the Senate to overcome all the hacking and vote suppression. As i said, i’d love to be wrong.
I voted with the majority, as it seemed self evident. We’ll take back the Senate next time.
The new poll is up. Don’t forget to vote. It is sponsored by SantaCat.
This is Joanne’s eighth Big Mouth award. She earned her first in September 2013, her second in March 2015, her third in May 2015, her fourth in July, 2016, her fifth in October, 2016, her sixth in September, 2017, and her seventh in February 2018. I predict there are more coming. I know JD comments far more than I do.
A denizen of Care2, she came to us from there, and is now part of management. She’s super-smart, witty a political junky, an activist for all kinds of human rights, and a proud Marine Corps Vet. I have had occasion to correspond with her, and she faces some major issues in her life with exceptional dignity and grace.
In early 2016, I appointed her to a staff position, Politics Plus Author, and in October 2016, I promoted her to Editor. Please join in piling on the praise and kudos she deserves. Her daily comments and her articles make this a far better site. She loves to…

Compared with last October, we are way down in Uniques, and way up in all other categories. Fewer visitors doing much more is a win.
Here out ClustrMap for 2018 YTD. This is ten months’ traffic. I partially fixed the problem we had last month
ClustrMap misses a lot of visits, because many visits can’t be easily traced to a location.
Here are our top five articles:
Fuhrer Financial Fraud 10/3/2018 1,099
I’m Going to Puke! 10/5/2018 866
Merkley Gone Wild! 10/17/2018 706
Bill Maher from 10/12 10/13/2018 675
Republicans on Parade – 10/8/2018 10/8/2018 580
The count represents only the people who opened the page for that specific article. All were from this year. All were from October. I wrote all five. I would have been happier to see more of our other authors’ work represented here. JD, Nameless, Lona and Squatch have written fine articles.
Here are our top non-blog/news referrers (100 referral minimum):
Google .com 3,738
Care2 2,285
Google was up from last month. Care2 was slightly down.

We had 4 sites with 2 or more referrals, down 2 from September. Putting blogs’ links here increases the ratings of their sites, so this “linkey love” is our thank you for their referral support. We still need to improve this. Since May, I cleaned up our blog roll and found most of the sites either were gone or had not published for years. Now I still need to visit the few who remain.
As of midnight November 1, we had 8,570 articles and 102,773 comments.
Pat B won a another Big Mouth Award for the 102,000th comment on October 5. We think she’s taking it over. More kudos for Pat, please. From now now on, Big Mouth winners at 10,000 levels will have their choice of a PP mug or a PP T Shirt. Staff will remain eligible to be winners at the 1,000 levels, Winners at prize winning levels will be the first non-staff commenter. If any staff member wants a mug or a T Shirt, let me know.

I also remove topical links. Finally, I blank the target on all links, so they open in a new tab or window.

Oh I have been watching MSNBC there is another that will Vote NO "Stevenson’ ,Coons said he will Vote NO
TRUMPY has limited all with MCConnell! I am looking for more to say NO!\the report was NOT checked out but only the 4 people TRUMPY and the crew wanted!
Never looking into more!One copy was being read for all the senators they only had an Hour to read 40 some pages! "Fix was IN" Cory Booker just said he is so angry! Kavanaugh is so Important a Mason SKULL & BONES MEMBER We must remember NO One is Above the Law! This is an Awful Show of how someone conducted himself to be on the Supreme Court.
Posted by dave c October 4, 2018 at 10:08 am. From: MN (US)
sadly I think he will be voted in, GOP more about party and power than honesty, truth, or country……none of their politicians seems to have the courage to do what is correct……
Posted by Diane October 2, 2018 at 12:00 pm. From: PA (US)
I think they’ll vote him in. Apparently the republicans think rape is perfectly acceptable behavior among other things.
Posted by Lynn Squance October 2, 2018 at 9:57 am. From: BC (CA)
For me, it is a toss up between voted in and voted down. It all hinges on Flake, Collins and Murkowski — Republicans and not to be trusted. I also wonder about Dems like Joe Manchin crossing the floor. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that neither Kavanope or Diaper Don would withdraw him for consideration. They are both too arrogant and narcissistic for that. Since I cannot sit on fence, I selected "voted down", Now Flake, Collins and Murkowski, don’t let me down!
Posted by SoINeedAName October 2, 2018 at 9:40 am. From: MO (US)
Neither Twitler nor Kava-NAH have the moral fiber required to recognize how terrible it would be for him to be confirmed – so the two withdrawal options are out.
So I went w/ my fervent hope: VOTED DOWN!
Posted by Yvonne White October 2, 2018 at 8:27 am. From: IL (US)
I have to hope he’ll be voted down. He & Trump are too arrogant to withdraw his nomination. The Republicans can’t get the votes this asshole needs to win.
Posted by Animae October 2, 2018 at 2:54 am. From: (AU)
‘Voted down’… wishful thinking from moi!!!
Posted by Katie & Bill Dresbach October 1, 2018 at 4:56 pm. From: OH (US)
I think he will be Voted Down when it gets right down to it all. He has lied and Not Respected much of what Happened. He does Not Deserve to sit with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We all deserve better than this! Wish all the witnesses had had time to speak and been given fair time. Hope Trumpy does not interfere!
Posted by Lona Goudswaard October 1, 2018 at 3:08 pm. From: (AU)
I wish I could share the hope of those who think Kavanaugh will be voted down, but there’s too much at stake here in addition to losing face, which Republicans never have done well. But I think they’ll push him through, conveniently forgetting/burying the myriad of reasons why this man should never even considered for SCOTUS.
Posted by Colleen October 1, 2018 at 1:44 pm. From: CA (US)
I honestly feel that with the FBI investigating this that it will find more negative facts about him. He lied at last weeks hearing and shouldn’t be even considered. That’s how I’m praying too.
Posted by Mitch D. October 1, 2018 at 1:10 pm. From: FL (US)
It’s tough, but I am thinking that with Kavanaugh’s abysmal behavior, and the apparent ly vast amount of testimony that appears to be coming to the FBI, EVEN the GOPIGIES will not be so dumb to put this piece of smarm on SCOTUS.
Posted by P Bowen October 1, 2018 at 10:30 am. From: TX (US)
There has been too much dissent/drama for him to be confirmed for SCOTUS. Dr Ford’s words spoke volumes, and others are stepping up to give their version of how this man is. I can only hope & pray.
Posted by P Bowen in reply to P Bowen October 1, 2018 at 10:35 am. From: TX (US)
oops, voted down
Posted by Nita L October 1, 2018 at 10:25 am. From: TX (US)
If you had asked this question yesterday, I would have picked that he will be voted through. Today I learned that all restraints have been removed from the FBI so I picked voted down. Probably wishful thinking.

Voted down is what I want. I do think it will happen.
Posted by Joanne D October 1, 2018 at 9:31 am. From: CO (US)
Good question because at this point it is really a toss-up – between voted in and voted down. I do think we can dismiss any withdrawing. Orange Judas is so invested that probably not even Putin could get him to withdraw Kavanazi, and Kavanazi himself is joined at the hip to Orange Judas.
You know how I voted, because I wish I had been wrong. I changed polls earlier than I normally would, because after Injustice Kava-Nazi and Injustice TEABAG Thomas were having a pervert party in their robes, the question was moot.
The new poll is up. Please vote twice: once here, and once elsewhere.

Pat followed Politics Plus and commented for quite some time on Care2, where she has been active for years, before she started commenting here at the site. A few months later, she won her first Big Mouth Award for the 78,000th comment in May 2016. She became a daily regular and won her second award for the 85,000th comment in December 2016 and her third for the 93,000th comment in October 2017. She won her fourth for 97,000 in March, 2018. She won her fifth for 101,000 in August 2018. This is her sixth award. She is a progressive activist, an authentic Christian, a proud veteran, and a Michael Moore Fan. If you tell her to go to hell, she’s likely to answer, “I already live there.” The poor girl is still a Texan. On the other hand, she loves her Houston Texans. Her comments are still bright, witty and above all, compassionate. She always greets WWWendy on shower day! In addition to being our resident beauty queen, she may have a lock on awards. Pile on the praise, please. She deserves it.

Both Stupidly & Desperation. Unfortunately, this was not an answer available. sigh…
Posted by gene September 24, 2018 at 5:51 am. From: MN (US)
Went with mostly desperation because I think he feels the walls closing in and knows he is caught, that it’s a matter of time before all that’s he’s done is public and he ends up in prison. Though he is indeed stupid. He’s more like a cornered rat to me right now.
Posted by Edie September 21, 2018 at 10:40 am. From: KY (US)
I voted all stupidity because that is how he handles everything, IN My Opinion.
Posted by Mopvyzo USA September 21, 2018 at 2:25 am. From: NC (US)
Mostly stupidity. Because is a stupid old man.
Posted by Mitch D. September 14, 2018 at 10:03 am. From: NJ (US)
I vote for "All stupidity," thinking of the Dunning-Kreuger Effect," in which one is too dumb to know how dumb he/she is. Add this to his grandiosity, and you have a wonderful recipe for supreme idiocy!
Posted by BarbCat in reply to Mitch D. September 14, 2018 at 10:56 am. From: NC (US)
Trump has to be the most idiotic US President of all time.
Posted by Lynn Squance September 4, 2018 at 12:54 am. From: BC (CA)
I am 50/50. Drumpf is so full of BS, he does not know if he is punched, bored or stapled! He thinks he is invincible, just like the narcissist he is. But I believe he is desperate too because he is like a dog with a bone . . . he keeps gnawing on various bones as if that will change things. And some of those bones are totally irrational. He can’t be gone soon enough!!!
Posted by dave c September 3, 2018 at 9:52 am. From: MN (US)
50/50, I think he is incredibly stupid!
Posted by gene September 2, 2018 at 1:47 am. From: MN (US)
Oh, I’m in the minority here. I went with total desperation because that’s what I see. I think he knows the walls are closing in on him and it shows in his increasingly unhinged tweets. Still mean as a snake though, no insult intended to snakes.
Posted by Lona Goudswaard September 1, 2018 at 4:52 pm. From: (AU)
Like anyone with mental disorders (yes, plural) Drumpf has days of some lucidity and on those days he realizes he’s in deep sh$t and acts in desperation because he hasn’t a clue what to do about it. Can’t call another bankruptcy, close the door and leave others to clean up the mess, right? On other days, his insanity/dementia takes over and he truly believes himself above the law. I have no idea what the ratio between lucid and insane days is, but at the moment it seems about 50/50. But that could swing either way at any moment.
Posted by SoINeedAName September 1, 2018 at 2:44 pm. From: MO (US)
Desperation – at least over 90%.
He’s done this $hit for decades and has gotten away with it.
He knows he’s a cornered animal & the walls are closing in – and he doesn’t have a CLUE on what to do other than what’s worked in the past: LIE his ass off & incite violence & try to change the topic.
Posted by Nita L September 1, 2018 at 12:23 pm. From: TX (US)
This is a difficult question. I picked equally because I think he is running scared but he also thinks he is above the law.
Posted by Pat B September 1, 2018 at 11:24 am. From: TX (US)
Good question. Settled for equally.
So many negative behaviors emanating from him, and his complete disregard for the office of the President. Shameful behavior, and the more this investigation uncovers, the more desperate he will become.
Posted by Diane September 1, 2018 at 10:24 am. From: PA (US)
I say 50/50. He’s too stupid to realize just how much trouble he’s in and to the extent he’s broken laws. All kinds of laws.
Desperation because he can’t threaten to sue his way out of the situation he’s in.
Posted by Joanne D September 1, 2018 at 10:08 am. From: CO (US)
Wow, this is a good one. I actually think it’s probably a little more one than the other, but I have no idea how much or even which way. Or maybe I shouldn’t say I have NO idea – I have plenty of ideas, but I keep changing them around. So I just settled for both equally.
I voted Most desperation. He is incompetent because he is a psychotic sociopath. Nevertheless he is cunning in the most malignant sense of the word.
The new poll is up. Don’t forget to vote in it.

Compared with last August, we are way down in Uniques, and way up in all other categories. Fewer visitors doing much more is a win.
Here is our ClustrMap for 2018 YTD. This is eight months’ traffic.
ClustrMap misses a lot of visits, because many visits can’t be easily traced to a location.
Here are our top five articles:
Select Election Results from 8/7/2018 8/8/2018 895
Republicans on Parade – 8/7/2018 8/7/2018 880
Republican pseudo-Christian Love 8/5/2018 836
Perez Screwed the Pooch 8/12/2018 805
Bill Maher from 8/17 8/18/2018 805
The count represents only the people who opened the page for that specific article. All were from this year. All were from August. I wrote all five. I would have been happier to see more of our other authors’ work represented here. JD, Nameless and Squatch have written fine articles. Lona has not recovered from the great migration, but has been nʍod ǝdᴉsdn for over a month, so we expect her back soon.
Here are our top non-blog/news referrers (100 referral minimum):
Care2 3,074
Google 2,928
Baidu 126
All were down from last month. Google was WAY down. I used to visit Stumbleupon every day, and they kept making "improvements" that drove regulars away. When they drove me away, many were saying they would "improve" it out of business. They did, so they are not on the list.
Here are our top blog/news referrers:

We had 4sites with 2 or more referrals, down 3 from July. Putting blogs’ links here increases the ratings of their sites, so this “linkey love” is our thank you for their referral support. We still need to improve this. Since May, I cleaned up our blog roll and found most of the sites either were gone or had not published for years. Now I still need to visit the few who remain.
As of midnight September 1, we had 8,440 articles and 101,047 comments.
Kudos to Pat B, who earned a Big Mouth Award in June for making the 101,000th comment. Last month, Mitch opted not to accept his prize. I decided to give the prize of a Politics Plus mug and a Politics Plus T Shirt to the 101,000 level winner. From now on, Big Mouth winners at 10,000 levels will have their choice of a PP mug or a PP T Shirt. Staff will remain eligible to be winners at the 1,000 levels, Winners at prize winning levels will be the first non-staff commenter. If any staff member wants a mug or a T Shirt, let me know.

This is our policy on links. We do not embed links to extreme Republican websites, like Faux Noise, Breitfart or World Nut Daily. However I leave notes in square brackets when I delete such links, (example: [faux noise delinked]) so readers, who wish to follow them can click through to the source article. I also remove topical links. Finally, I blank the target on all links, so they open in a new tab or window.
We now have just a bit over two months, before we will have a major opportunity to reclaim part of our nation from the fascist Reich that possesses all three branches of government. Please do every thing you can.
Thank you for your support here, and kudos for all the good you do, everywhere you do it.
