Are you excited? apprehensive? or both

I have to admit that even though I believe HRC will win I'm still both excited and apprehensive. I really wish it would be a big vote against the GOP enough to not only win the White House and Senate but also the House.

I'm pretty excited about the Clinton victory, that should be a slam dunk, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Dem Party ground game and GOTV efforts across the country, many of whom post right here on our own DU.

My main apprehension is a fear of violent incidents from disappointed Trumplodytes. Be safe, fellow travelers.

A agree with your "big vote" desire. I want:

i'm close to being confident that hillary will win, but you just never know how people are going to vote. some states are a little closer than i would like them to be, but ground game should put us over the top in enough of those states. i'm cautiously optimistic.

Latino and other minority populations are voting in far greater numbers this time, and it may yield some real surprises.

confident. HC has the upper hand with the blue states & most BG states, but I take nothing for granted.
