I Didn’t Watch the MLK Game

For the first time in the history of the Thunder I didn’t watch the Thunder play a game either live or on the delay. My sports heart just wasn’t interested. The underachieving Thunder evidently beat the pathetic NY Knicks rather easily, but the game held no appeal for me. I watched a couple of Martin Luther King historical videos and finished Michelle Obama’s book then took the diva lab for a walk instead.

I noticed Kamala Harris got into the presidential race along with a slew of other Dem women. Here’s what I would warn the Dems not to do…don’t steer yourself too far left just reacting to the Empire of Caligula. Presidential elections in the Electoral College are precarious creatures. In two out of the last five presidential elections the Dems won the popular vote but lost the Electoral College.

If I were the chairman of the DNC this would be what I would have circled in red:

FLORIDA, NORTH CAROLINA, VIRGINIA, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, MICHIGAN, AND WISCONSIN…. as in making sure I win at least five of these states. Because if the Dems don’t win five of these states then they probably lose the White House again would be my guess. Please explain to me how a politician from San Francisco finds wide appeal in these states if say Nikki Haley somehow ends up on the GOP ticket. I’d also make sure both of the Obamas are on board given the fact they’re the two most admired humans in this country currently. Funny how that worked out for Trump.

Another thing… I wouldn’t assume Caligula will be the GOP candidate. I would think if at any point Mitch McConnell could drown Caligula–he will. McConnell has gotten what he needs already from this dubious person. Namely, a tax cut and two Supreme Court justices. At this point, Trump serves no further purpose to the GOP. I’m sure what McConnell is doing is hoping for the right moment to in a word put Trump in some form of a political box where he can’t run again per the Mueller findings.

So…let’s say that happens amidst this whirl of diversity and women of all kinds are determined the next president is a woman…which btw I think would be a good thing because women are inherently smarter than men. Not even close. Are you kidding?

But again — I wouldn’t go too far left. Always remember the middle. The middle is where the election will be won, not the far left nor the far right. I wouldn’t discount the Nikki Haley scenario or another GOP woman being on the ticket. And I’m not talking about some sort of nut job GOP woman like Sarah Palin, but one who has a resume and can actually speak without frothing at the mouth.

So on this MLK Day… I felt more like being Nate Silver than a Thunder blogger. Easy choice. The Thunder have become a boring beat minus the Miracle in Philadelphia and wondering how Russell will mix his blouse and pants color schemes. But I won’t fret because I’m certain Little Nick Gallo and Low Energy Royce Young had it covered. Erik Horne will be fine because Tramel will rein him in if he gets too far into the rough.

I’ll do tonight’s game versus Portland. This should be a good game if the Thunder can find it within themselves to focus enough to win another somewhat meaningful game after Philadelphia.
