Pete's PREDICTIONS for the next four years with Trump as our President.

Today is November 22, 2016. As of today I have lived 27,761 days - I still weigh 165 pounds - I can still wear a 32 inch belt - I'm still doing yoga, lifting weights and waking 2 miles a day. Life is good.

On this the day JFK  was shot in Dallas in 1963 - it is also only 59 days until Donald Trump takes the oath of office as President of the United States of America. So it is a good day to start my BLOG again because I have some things I want and need to say. In other words I need to vent a little.

First,  I don't want us Democrats to lower ourselves to the scumbag level the GOP did in  2009.  When Barack Obama took office on January 20, 2009, Mitch McConnell, the GOP leader in the Senate, announced that the Republicans in Congress were going to see to it that Obama was a one term president and they would obstruct every thing he tried to do. They did succeed on one of them - and that was to obstruct everything he tried to do. But they failed in making him a one term president even though the conservative Supreme Court tried to make it possible when they gutted the Voting Rights Act passed in 1965. Many of the GOP governed states then passed voter suppression laws but thanks to lower courts ruling them unconstitutional Obama was re-elected by 4-5 million votes.

So my FIRST PREDICTION is that we Democrats will not lower ourselves to their level. Thanks to President Obama and Vice-president Biden leading the way the Democrats will be taking the high road and will work with and not obstruct everything Trump and the Republican Congress wants to do. In other words we will be willing to compromise in  order to get something done for the "common good." Something OBAMA was never got to enjoy.
