Presidential elections aren't wedding cakes. You don't get bonus points if the win looks pretty. All that matters is that you win.

it's such an uphill battle for us. Considering all the damn obstacles we have to overcome. From gerrymandering, the money, fox news, right wing radio 24/7. None of it is pretty. This is a dirty business. We were up against one of the dirtiest "businessmen" around. What did anyone expect? This last 4 hears has been an ugly clusterphuck of epic proportions. I expect it to end that way. But at least the pandemic will end tonight. no more covid covid covid
