11/14/18: Delusional Donald can’t believe it. Neither can anyone else who isn’t delusional. He insists Republicans lost the House of Representatives because illegal voters proved masters of disguise.

Illegal
voters with multiple hats and shirts!

In an interview with the Daily Caller, a conservative media outlet, Trump insists, “When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again [emphasis added, unless otherwise noted]…It’s really a disgrace what’s going on.”
Alas, rational observers aren’t buying Trump’s newest fever dream. The “Fake News” folks at Newsweek dismiss his claim as “absurd”. “There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the United States.”
Vox describes Trump’s latest rant as “make-believe.”
Trump goes on to tell the Daily Caller we need a national voter ID law because we must keep groceries out of the wrong hands. He elaborates on his illegal-voters-in-different-shirts theme. “If you buy a box of cereal – you have a voter ID,” he says. “They try to shame everybody by calling them racist, or calling them something, anything they can think of, when you say you want voter ID. But voter ID is a very important thing.”
Save our Fruit Loops!

MEANWHILE, TURMOIL continues to roil the madcap bunch at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The First Lady publicly calls for the firing of Deputy National Security Director Mira Ricardel. Ricardel, says FLOTUS, “no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House.”
The president is said to be ready to drop the hammer on Homeland Security Director Kirstjen Nielsen. There are rumors that Chief of Staff John Kelley is about to get the boot, or that he threatened to resign if Trump dumps Nielsen.
Meanwhile, Larry Kudlow, Trump’s top economic adviser, lashes out at White House trade adviser Peter Navarro. Remarks Navarro made regarding the trade war with China, Kudlow says, were “unauthorized,” “way off base” and did the president a “great disservice.”
“It’s like an episode of ‘Maury,’” one former Trump aide tells Politico. “The only thing that’s missing is a paternity test.”
Trump, says another top administration official, is furious.
“He’s pissed – at damn near everyone.”
Among other problems, Trump is said to be seething because of the flak he took for skipping a rainy visit to a cemetery to honor the war dead during his trip to France. But the blame would seem to lie on his head and shoulders:
One Republican briefed on the
internal discussions said the real reason Trump did not want to go was because
there would be no tent to stand under. “He was worried his hair was going to get messed up in the rain,” the
source said. “[John] Bolton and everyone was telling him this was a big
mistake.” A former administration official said Trump hates being outside
in wet conditions. “What I honestly think? He woke up and said, ‘It’s pouring
rain. This is a joke and I’m not doing this.’”
The trickledown effect of the President of the United States’ anger is causing all kinds of problems. Sherman reports that Trump has wanted to get rid of Kelly for months, but,
…doesn’t want to make Kelly a
potent enemy on the outside. “Kelly has decided to hang in there and get
humiliated day after day,” a person close to Trump said. Trump recently told a
former official that he was worried Kelly would campaign against him in 2020 if
he fired him, a person briefed on the phone call said.
As for the firing of Ricardel (who ends up being transferred),
Sherman reports, “The president called [White House aide] Johnny DeStefano
today and said, ‘Get the bitch out of here or you’re gone,’ a source briefed on
the conversation recalled.”

IT PROBABLY WON’T raise the spirits of the beleaguered
president or Republicans generally, if they study the recent analysis done
by Pew Research. Voters, 18-29, went for Democrats, 67 percent to 32 percent
in the midterms, voters 30-44, by a 58-39 margin. Republicans did best among
voters with walkers and hearing aids, white voters who did not attend college,
and voters who believe minorities
are favored in this country and sexual harassment is not a problem.
