The argument that Thump won so anything is possible makes a kind of sense.

I was wrong. A lot of experts were wrong, but that doesn't mean he has repealed the laws of cause and effect.

Here's an analogy. I am sure a lot of boxing managers tell their fighters who are huge underdogs that Buster Douglas was a 42-1 underdog when he knocked out Mike Tyson and that they can prevail too . Then they go in the ring and get their head handed to them.

Maybe Thump has repealed the laws of cause and effect. We'll see... His health care bill is a piece of shit. It will leave more than fifteen million people who had insurance without it. Everybody but him and Paul Ryan despise it.

I think it fails. It is such an awful misanthropic bill.
