If you want to feel better do what I did months ago, turn off network tv (MSNBC, Fox, CNN, and

Sunday Political Talk shows) Read enough to stay informed. I tell you it has added years back to my life. Daily dwelling on this shit....... worrying about people who will always vote to fuck themselves is a waste of time if you want to work for something work to register all of those people whom have never voted.

It all started to sound line yammering to me.

I vote. I'll always vote.

I know tonight was bad but the next two years will be such a mess with even more gridlock and partisan hackery that 2016 will be a big win for Democrats.
