BTRTN: Not Yet Tired of Winning
Born to Run the Numbers on a two week period when you would have thought that Donald Trump's reality show was not "The Apprentice," but was actually "The Biggest Loser."

Excerpt: "Perhaps the climax of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign hyperbole was his claim that once he became President, we would all 'win so much' that we would 'get tired of winning.' Full disclosure: I was keenly skeptical about this particular epochal vision. As a lifetime follower of the New York Jets, I could not imagine a circumstance in which I would become “tired of winning...”
Then, with the election, Republicans seized control of the executive branch, the House, the Senate, and soon after Mitch McConnell succeeded in stealing control of the Supreme Court. I became convinced that if someone was about to get “tired of winning,” it was not going to be me.
Imagine my shock and awe when I realized that of all of Donald Trump’s campaign promises, this is the one that turns out to be the one closest to being correct. Now, to be fair, one reason this one has a chance of being the most accurate campaign promise is because the rest are lying in the Capital morgue. There is no wall, no Muslim ban, no tax reform, and we have not “handled” North Korea. The second reason why this campaign promise may be true is because it is not the Republicans, nor the Tea Party, nor the white supremacists, and not the neo-Nazis who are winning, although the latter two groups can make a stronger case than the former. It is actually the progressives. The Democratic Party enjoyed a September winning streak that was surpassed only by the world-beating Cleveland Indians..."
