They probably don't realize that this is the end of the line for many of us educated types being in their lives. They seem unfazed now, but I have a feeling their's going to be buyer's remorse like we've never seen in history - win or lose.

And Mr. Wizard, based on that, what does your crystal ball tell us what a Hillary Clinton election would mean for America?

Gee, I wonder!
