With his 14-5 horoscope score, he might be a good challenger to Trump's 8-4 score. It would be a very close election since the new moon before election favors the incumbent, and Republicans win the electoral vote if they win the popular vote. I know my prediction might fail, and I would be biased in favor of Bernie, so Galen calls it crap. But in fact, no prediction about human events can always work. Human behavior is not mechanistic, as Galen and other silly materialists like him think. So astrology can't be always right, and it hasn't been studied by smart people until recently, so it's really a new field, despite its ancient traditions.

The patterns I mention are not just arbitary rules; they were based on patterns with a long consistent history. But they are nowhere near as regular as physical patterns, like predicting the astronomical events which astrology is based on. As Obama said, his prediction was right that the Sun would rise on Nov.9. But predicting human behavior is another thing entirely. And good astrologers have a better record than pundits do. You know all the things I have predicted over the years; the bigger things I got right. I always had some trouble with elections though, until recently.

But, old as he is, Bernie does well on my horoscope point system. Trump is mediocre, compared to modern presidents, but his score was higher than almost all of his creepy Republican opponents and the Democratic nominee too. I don't think I would be able now to honestly predict based solely on astrology who would win in 2020, if Bernie and Donald are the candidates. The signs would conflict, as they did in 2016. I would have to discover other patterns, or test out others that were suggested to me by other astrologers who predicted Trump would win.

I predict the 2018 midterm will be similar to 2006. There are many non-partisan people who either sat out the 2016 election or stupidly got sucked into voting for Trump. I doubt they will be loyal. Fatigue will set in early and some of the backlash will never stop.

That will set the stage for a strong challenge from the main stream left in 2018. That in turn will set the stage for a true challenge to Trump from the Left in 2020. I also predict that the GOP will still fragment. There is a well schooled minority within the GOP who have never accepted, and will never accept Trump. Now that Bannon is named Chief Strategist, that will only grow in consequence. The Alt-Right is not all of the Right. So, in addition to a strong 2020 challenge from the Left, there will also be a challenge from within the GOP. Or some other new party of the Right.

-- this is partly why l'm blase about the Donald winning. The Senate @ least should flip come the midterms. Hopefully, the Dems will get their act together by 2020 & run a decent candidate. lt's painfully obvious they were playing this yr, & judging by the aftermath, they still are. We need to elect Berniecrats

That's why I am NOT blase about The Donald winning. The Senate CANNOT flip in 2018, because 10 Democrats are up for re-election in red states! Only 2 Republicans in blue or purple. Because a supreme court justice might die or resign. Because after 40 years people have not learned to ditch Reaganomics. Because scientists say global warming disaster is not reversible after 4 years from now.
