JUAN WILLIAMS, “NOPE, NO WAVE HERE!”

As a political analyst, Juan Williams would, I think, make a far better used car salesman. In watching last night as the returns began rolling in it became fairly obvious, fairly quickly, to everyone in the room but Williams, that what we had underway was something other than what had been indicated by most of the polls. It was, in fact, going to be far more of a ‘wave election’ than had been previously thought.

And yet as the night went on Juan could be seen bending himself into a pretzel in an effort to try to portray the evening’s events as being nothing more than a mass anti-incumbent election. But what Juan failed to take notice of was the fact that the incumbents getting tossed out were all Democrats. And still he claimed that what we were all witnessing had nothing whatsoever to do with Democrat policies.

Williams spent most of the night determined in his efforts to downplay the notion that this was in any way a ‘wave election.’ And he was later made to pay a price in the Twittersphere for his idiotic comment on Fox News that the midterm election results had not produced a Republican wave, "not even close to a wave." And for at least part of Tuesday night, Williams' remark was trending No. 2 on Twitter.

While some in the Twittersphere reacted good-naturedly others showed no tolerance for any suggestion that the GOP's capture of the Senate and its expanded control of the House to post-World War II levels represented anything but a realignment of politics in Washington. The "no Republican wave" had been Williams' position since October and he wasn’t about to change his mind, no matter what.

He said on Fox News that, given the large number of seats Democrats had to defend, losing eight or nine did not indicate a wave, more like "an anti-incumbent moment." He had earlier rejected the wave idea on the grounds that Republicans are hardly more liked than his buddy, Barry. "The problem for the Republicans in Congress is that they have even worse approval ratings that the president." Evidently that was not the case, at least on Tuesday.

Williams, as most probably know, is the ultimate Barry apologist and a real diehard progressive. And as such Williams just couldn’t bring himself to admit that it was because of both his hero, Barry, and the leftist policies that have been shoved down the throats of the American people by his Democrat Party, that the Democrats was made to suffer a beat down on Election Day.

But lest we get too carried away with ourselves for having kicked some serious Democrat ass last night, we need to keep in mind that we have only two very short years to prove to the voters that our team is the better team when it comes to getting things turned around. But if our only desire is to play politics in the hope of greasing our skids for 2016, then chances are our majority in the Senate will be short lived.
