I have never in my life witnessed a National election like this.

I am imaging myself with my future grandchildren asking me about the infamous 2016 presidential election.

...but at least we were *serious* back then. What we were doing, talking about...it mattered. Now? We might as well be living in the Republic of Fredonia...

And the funny-looking protagonist had the added bonus of being an actual genius.

Like at the end someone is going to pop out and reveal the joke. So when is that going to happen?

We all are witnesses to a bizarre and sad history. Fortunately as American's we are strong and we will - and our country will - survive.

Can't say as much for the Donald and his brand.

I was telling her I was going to watch the debate tonight and then I said that this election will make history, and she will tell her grandkids about it. And I didn't mean it'll make history because a women will become President. The landslide Hillary will win by, and the long-term effect on the Republican Party, are what will really be historic.
