A couple words of encouragement

Donald Trump's rhetoric is triggering and we have to deal with 3 more weeks of this unless we turn off the TV. But, after 3 weeks, Hillary Clinton will be President elect. We may or may not have control of the Senate (we only need to win a net 4 seats and their side is defending 21 seats. Even if all the competitive seats are tied as toss ups, the odds mathematically are in our favor. Scalia's dead and either Merrill Garland or a new nominee will then take his seat. We should win most if not all of the on cycle governor races too.

I don't think we can be casual or flippant about the potential for some really bad behavior on the part of Trump supporters.
