It Is Going To Be A Rough Time Until The Final Results Are In. Why Not Complete Blowout Beyond Me.

It looks like a Hillary win. But I worry about the other races that are just as important. Comey may have fucked the Demos on taking over House and having a bigger majority in the Senate.

This election should be a 15 point blow out with Hillary winning just about every state Trump is so bad. To think that we are risking putting in a man in the White House who should be in a jail or insane asylum is absolutely terrifying and sick.

Our country is so sick in so many ways I wonder about the longer term future. What is worse is that the GOP needs to be put down because we will not survive with that crowd if they had full power.

Having to wait and worry is just almost too much.

and while the last one had to be rigged into office, the first two were elected.

You just never know how many morons are going to get out and vote the way talk radio tells them to.

when Tricky Dick Nixon defeated Hubert H. Humphrey. Had he been elected rather than Nixon who knows how things might have been. We might not even have a DEA!! Or a Controlled Substances Act.

Also, a lot of evil Republicans wouldn't have gotten such a great start in learning how to wreck this country.

Joe Mcginniss's book. The Selling of the President, chronicled those prepackaged events.

I don't think this is nearly as close as it looks in the polls.
