Thank you...you really have no idea how I needed to read something like that this morning. I've been kind of down lately wondering how the heck can this race be close! I needed to read your post...thank you again!

Let's hope that Drumpf's crass hotel infomercial Rickroll (and stark reminder of the Birther conspiracy theory that idiotically made him a political player) is this campaign's mid-September event that finally sickens enough people to get them highly motivated to give us our second President Clinton.

45.7% were still willing to give them another shot at wrecking the economy.

My recollection was that by then we knew much about the disaster of the republican depression.

So many recent DU Chickens Little can't be wrong, right? And surely no one on DU would use false panic to try to demoralize genuine HRC supporters, right? No, surely not.
