Upon Reflection: sometimes you need your memory jogged:

I was just watching the rerun of Rachel and she showed the old clip of Trupenfuhrer making fun of Christie's proclaimed unknowing/innocence in reference to the Bridgegate matter and I found myself laughing and I suddenly recalled just how good that particular statement made me feel: that this asshole, and I always thought he was an asshole, was actually saying what everybody with a brain was thinking. Sort of Carlinesque in a way. He had a great delivery and I remember thinking at that moment all those months ago that if he were elected it wouldn't be so bad. Just for an instant I thought that so stay calm!

As an addendum and an aside, I think there's going to be a lot of crossover voting for Hillary and it's not even going to be close. I recall all the pundits spelling possible doom for President Obama in 2012 and my gut told me that he was going to pull it out and he did. Not a single Democrat to whom I've spoken in the last three months has told me that he or she will be staying home, but many Republicans have stated that they would be or would hold their noses and vote for her. either way it's good news here in Pennsylvania.

The Catholic soccer moms are disgusted but still going to support the republican as far as I know
The Liberty grads waivered because of the "p-word" but hate Hillary so bad, they went trump
The working class left behind "system is rigged" male is a Clinton hater and will vote trump

But the wealthy libertarian is voting for Hillary
A wealthy nonvoter democrat who may have voted only one time in 20 years voted for the second time, straight D, in Texas.
