Kevin, good analysis. While I am not happy with the direction of the Democratic
party I do think we have a duty to ourselves and country to counter the current
republican congress. The thought of a republican house of reps, senate, white
house and supreme court will have some really chilling effects for generations
to come.

This is kind of where my thinking has gone as of late. We've been told again
and again how much of a disaster Trump would be, and that is true. But if
Hillary wins, things will not be all sweetness and light, and anyone who thinks
so is seriously dilusional. The best we can hope for is for things pretty much
staying the same, meaning perpetual gridlock, except maybe for the things
Hillary will cave on because there's no choice, or it could be a lot worse, or
something. It's not a huge stretch to think, as has been stated here recently,
that maybe a Trump win might actually be the catalyst for the change we
actually need. One thing's for sure; Congress, as it now stands, won't work
with Hillary any more than they did, or didn't, with Obama. In fact, I wouldn't
be surprised to see impeachment on the table on day one. On the other hand,
Trump in the Presidency could bring on other things too dismal to contemplate.
To say I'm conflicted would be a gross understatement.
