Remember this word? What word? There was no word. There was a very vague claim that something that happens every Presidential election will happen this Presidential election.

I think that what happens is people get so caught up in the "us vs them" mindset of politics that they forget to step back and the bigger picture beyond a man or woman filling a political role...they get caught up in the chaos and hype...emotion gets all worked up and because emotion is so key to many of our services its really easy to mistake a Word when its not one.
Im not excusing that...just trying to wrap my head around how it happens.
Predicting an "October Suprise" is about prophetic as saying God told you that gas and matches will burn down a house.
