Whole Lotta Guessing Going On

I just took a quick scan down the topics and headlines on Lucianne.com and RealClearPolitics.com. The commentariat are all over the place, and most of their topics look like "lets throw this against the wall and see if it sticks."

The political pundit class, of which I include myself as a very minor member, base their weighty thoughts about what will occur on knowing a lot of political history and observing parallels in current politics to what did occur in the past.

We are now in the political version of terra incognita, we have no maps for this terrain. We are like an odds maker trying to predict the performance of a horse on its first race, with no track record.

Most assume Harris will be the new nominee, but there are Democrat heavy hitters including Barack Obama who have made it clear they prefer someone with more gravitas. Taking no chances Trump forces pivoted immediately to attacking Harris, all the while wondering if they're wasting money doing so if her party dumps her.

Hat tip to Jerry Lee Lewis for my title.
