We all hope that Canucks can win their remaining games. What’s troubling right now is that they are playing at home, and their playing better than they were, but their still finding ways to lose. Not everyone believes that they can win at a .750 for the rest of their games: 1. With their veterans serving up pizzas night after night. 2. Rolling 2.5 lines every game. 3. With special teams that have not been “special” 4. Given their poor record against Canadian teams, last year and this year. 5. With good, bu not elite, goaltending. 6. Without a coaching change. St Louis had a complete turnaround two years ago and won a Cup, because the team fired their coaches. Will the Canucks do something that significant, aka the Habs? Or will they maintain the status quo, and hope for a brighter future next year? I think that the team is already looking ahead to next year. I’m not overreacting to a bad start. To me a bad start would be playing .500 hockey. Sub .400 is a horrendous start. Been a fan since day one and it’s pretty clear already where this team headed. Overreaction or realism? GCG

6-3 Soilers McDavid -
In years gone by that statement would have bothered me. This year l’m remarkably composed about it . The numbers don’t lie. Snag a high draft pick, shed bad contracts and surplus to needs players and coaches. Then come roaring back next year and kick bum. The future still looks very bright. In the meantime, I’ll just enjoy the games on a worry free basis. GCG

I think that It’s more about the latter. The Newt Gingrich doctrine that Trump has glommed onto. It’s a very racist doctrine that harkens back to the “good old days” when immigrants weren’t flooding into the country, snapping up all the good jobs. A lot of people that buy into this world view don’t like being called on it. Hence the whataboutism and all the bleating about being “persecuted” by Libtards.

Back to more serious matters. Been reading Trumpocracy by David Frum and he points out that the divide is not between the Left and the Right anymore, it’s between the Nationalists and Globalists. This helps explain why in.2016: - Trump polled better among workers earning between 50,000 to $100,00 than those earning over $100,000. - he polled better among Union workers than any Republican since 1984. - he improved on Romney’s 2012 performance among Latino and black men. Meanwhile In 2016 Hillary performed extremely well among Americans earning over $250,000, and extremely poorly with white woman without a college degree. So, are people being “persecuted” for being Republicans or Democrats, or are they being “persecuted” for being Trump adherents, or in other words Nationalists?
