OPINION — After two long, dark years, there is an optimism afoot among Democrats, many independents and a few old-school Republicans that the clouds will part and the sun will shine brightly again on Nov. 4.
Most votes in the midterms will be counted, and Democrats believe the House will have flipped Democratic with a decent majority. They are daring to hope that the Senate, too, will be theirs. The Trump presidency, its opponents hope, will be firmly marked “lame duck.”
Better, they hope the years of Trump raging — as they see it — outside of his constitutional authority and acting illegally, will be over.
