Goggling Trump midterms this morning, threw up an interesting view.
The site had the latest polling 5 weeks out from voting, while some voting is taking place now.
It gave Democrats a 70 or was it 80 percent chance of winning the bigger house.
But only a 20 or 30 percent chance in the senate.
It, based on polling, gave the exact opposite view to mine here.
It claimed the Republicans are getting more right, Trumps supporters beating softer Republicans.
And while critical of the Democrats not yet having a leader, insisted they have become more Liberal.
I think I see a wild card,here and there,Women, both ruling party,s here and there, are ignoring half if not more, of the voters, even more so in America a place leadership insults them daily.
Interesting days ahead

You don't seem to understand that celebrities have a lot of power,
Aidan,
I understand that more than you. You should know that Gold Diggers will do do anything to get noticed by celebrities & when the celebrity doesn't respond satisfactorily the Gold Diggers resort to maligning the celebrity.
I had a couple friends who were celebrities some years ago & I have seen with my own eyes how people react when they meet someone of a bit of fame. They just lose it.
So, when a successful man gets set up to be compromised, everyone simply points the finger at him instead of the slag that set him up. Entrappment is a really dreadful stunt & should be dealt with extremely severely.
Failing to check on the validity of peoples' claims first before going into denial & ridicule mode is another dreadful trait. There are Council CEO' & EO's who are on so much pay that most ordinary people simply refuse to believe it & dismiss it by ridicule. I suggest such non-believers should join ratepayer associations etc.

no indy, change the subject a hundred times but in the end it remains true.
You greatly over state the wages of public servants and I am wondering why you dislike them so much.
Did one frighten you as a child?
However in the very peak of the CB Radio craze, a time truck drivers let foul mouthed anti police things go over the radio at will.
Standing beside a roll over truck with a cop two drivers did play that game, trying to flatter him so hard, I looked at him and grinned as he told them he too had a CB and overheard their every word before they stopped

Belly,
I have seen some salary depostits when some bureaucrats left the computer screen on. I have also found the odd salary advise lying on the office desks & let me say it again loud & clear. Public Service salaries are over the top in comparison to the economy we have.
No wonder we go from Debt to Debt at every Budget Labor & Coalition.
Have you any idea at all how much travel rorting costs for bureaucrats to remote communities ?
Not to forget Customs, Police, Health, Legal Aid, Consultants et al.
If you only had the slightest idea what outrageous allowances some unions push for you'd change your tune.

indy if you targeted CEOs maybe we could agree, I saw the evidence put against your claims and it won me.

Belly,
Our ratepayers Ass. can't get explanations from the Council re a 25 Mil. project/blunder directly attributable to the Shire Engineer who, upon calls to be sacked , was given the opportunity to resign & receive a massive bonus. Meanwhile, pensioners who are having difficulty in keeping up with Council rates despite most property values in our area having taken a dive, are being pursued by Council planning to hire an outside company to recoup the outstanding rates..
The new CEO is rumoured to have an annual budget of over $800,000 which leaves $400,000 for salary of a 2200 ratepayers Council.
This is the society we've become & which Aidan finds so hard to believe.
Right of Information for taxpayers translates into right of refusal to provide information for Councils.
