because I do believe that 'most' Americans are intelligent enough not to vote for the orange one since he never once won the popular vote and this time he will lose even more voters.

I am an optimist and nothing will prevent me from being such, I do my part in the good fight locally and now that I am retired I am discussing doing more, but I need buy in from my better half.
