The 'wise(lol)' scribe thinks that getting everyone to picture Nancy being the Speaker of the House will somehow help us to win tomorrow. Like I said, ranting friggin lunatic.

Here's a hint for ya: Visualization is an incredibly powerful tool that is absolutely beneficial in achieving a desired result. But that only applies when the outcome is something that is in your control to begin with, such as doing well on a test for example. Sports teams, public speakers, performers, salesman etc might all use forms of positive visualization in order to put their minds in the proper frame and give them subliminal strength to physically turn the visualization into reality. Visualization can absolutely work in such ways and is a mandatory practice for most who compete with anything or need to perform well with something. I recommend it to anybody.

However, visualizing a positive outcome with something not directly related to or able to be acted upon by the person doing the visualizing, is simply silly. In this specific application of it, the most the visualization is going to help you to do is to push the button correctly on the voting machine tomorrow. That's it. As far as just sitting back and chanting and visualizing that everything goes just ducky and we win both houses goes, that's just plain silly on its face. Visualization means nothing there, because the subliminal positive affects gained from it can't be used to do anything. So this oh so hilariously wise scribe is nothing more than a ranting lunatic in my opinion. I understand you have a different opinion of him, but that's mine, and it's quite firm.
