15. I really care about Hillary being elected, and my own health

Tue Sep 20, 2016, 12:52 PM

Sep 2016

The stress of watching Trump for 90 minutes is something I refuse to do. I'll see the reruns.

As far as having "informed opinions" what are we going to hear that we don't already know? About all I can think of that would be different is Trump physically attacking Hillary after she says something to make him look like the fool he is. But I'm sure the Secret Service will be standing as close as possible in the wings. if anyone knows how unpredictable and (crazy?) Trump is, it's his secret service detail, not to mention Hillary's detail.
