Let's don't let our guard down too early. The October surprise could come in January when Johnson refuses to seat the newly elected Democrat members of the House based on a charge (suspicion) of fraud that is underway, one that was initiated by Donald Trump. It also means that Johnson could keep his job for months until the matter is resolved in a long string of court filings and appeals all the way up to the Supreme Court which Trump perceives as his "bought and paid for" ace-in-the-hole.

And that's not the only option Johnson has to delay the certification of the votes. There isn't anything Johnson won't try to help Trump hold onto power, last ditch Hail Marys included.

Trump is a long way from being finished with his destruction of the midterms. He could do something so heinous that it would stir up torch bearing riots all across the country as justification for using the Insurrection Act . . . or even declare Martial Law.

What might that heinous(s) acts be? One can hardly imagine. Personally, I would recommend that a certain former President start wearing a Kevlar vest.

I would also suggest that America's very popular former President ...and Trump's #1 nemesis . . . not fly commercial any time soon.

Trump's tentacles spread far and wide.
