For the last several weeks, the media and political pundits have been touting August 7th as the beginning of the “blue wave” that would signal the beginning of the end of President Trump’s time in office. We’ve seen headlines pointing out that record number of women running for Congress and for governorships around the country. We’ve been saddled with story after story about democratic-socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her latest episode of “foot in mouth” disease. All of which was part of the Democrats’ plan to retake Congress and then the White House. But it all began last night.

Or did it?
