Sidney Blumenthal's Unintentional Prophecy From 2008
The GOP on the verge of imploding
The key (i.e., prophetic) sentence: "Just as the Republican collapse under Bush has given the Democrats an unprecedented opening, the Democrats may still find a way to reinvent the Republicans."
I doubt that, when Sidney Blumenthal uttered this prophecy, he imagined that the Democrats would "reinvent the Republicans" by BECOMING THE REPUBLICANS.
As I like to tell my students, if you want to be an historian, you must develop a keen sense of irony. Otherwise, the joke will be on you.
