Ronald Reagan once said the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That has never been more obvious than today.\u00a0 All the cultured elite prognosticators in the UK believed that David Cameron was in serious political jeopardy.\u00a0 Most predicted that Ed Milibrand, the leader of Labour would be the next prime minister.\u00a0 At best, they considered the election too close to call.\u00a0 If Cameron somehow managed to stay Prime Minister, he would be too weak to effectively govern.<\/p>\n

The following article in the Guardian UK was published just two days ago:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/politics\/2015\/may\/06\/pollsters-polled-cameron-miliband-prime-minister-election<\/a><\/p>\n

The following predictions were spectacularly wrong:<\/p>\n

“The final stretch and we find ourselves pretty much where we started at the beginning of the campaign \u2013 in stalemate. This election represents what happens when a country is unconfident about its economic future, unsure of its place in the world, and fed up with the state of its politics.”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Or<\/p>\n

“the only scenario where Cameron would remain in place would be if Labour have an awful night, combining a bloodbath of losses to the SNP with a failure to take large numbers of seats from the Lib Dems and Tories.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Conservatives not only won, they won big and now have a solid majority.\u00a0 It was exactly the liberal bloodbath the prognosticators believed to be impossible.<\/p>\n

Liberals always believe that everyone with any intellect will agree with them.\u00a0 They can\u2019t fathom the possibility that some really smart people think they are wrong about nearly everything.\u00a0 That is why liberals often underestimate Republican candidates as being na\u00efve and uninformed. \u00a0The reality is that\u00a0every Republican currently running or considering running for President is smarter than Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

In the UK the polls did not now show the results liberals expected, so they adjusted the polls.\u00a0 One will note that the same thing happened last fall here in the U.S.\u00a0 .\u00a0 No pollster predicted the sweeping victory by Republicans in the 2014 election. This was not because the data was not there, it was.\u00a0 It was because the data was adjusted, incorrectly, to reflect the liberal world view.<\/p>\n

There is a lesson here for all of us.\u00a0 The cultured liberal elite are wrong about nearly everything.\u00a0 It would be foolish to expect them to be brilliant at predicting elections.\u00a0 They aren\u2019t.\u00a0 Hillary Clinton is a fatally flawed candidate.\u00a0 That is really obvious to anyone paying attention.\u00a0 If the Democrat establishment doesn\u2019t pick up on the obvious pretty soon, Hillary is likely to take the few remaining shreds of the Democratic Party down with her.<\/p>\n

Liberals in the UK are reeling from an unexpected and unprecedented slaughter at the polls. At least in Great Britain liberal recognize defeat when they see it.\u00a0 The current leaders have resigned and there is a desperate search for new liberal leadership.<\/p>\n

We should point out that even the liberals who just resigned in the UK are all a lot younger than liberal Democrats here in the U.S. \u00a0Hillary Clinton who is not exactly a spring chicken with fresh ideas.\u00a0 If she fails, the names mentioned most often are\u2026wait for it\u2026John Kerry and Bernie Sanders.\u00a0 Who said liberals don\u2019t believe in fossil fuel.<\/p>\n
