And the question of how, out of all of that, enough people lashed out with their votes and elected a clearly sick man -- and thereby, essentially said "burn it all the hell down."

Some way, some how, the sleeping giant of the American people will wake and roar, and perhaps give us a shot at actually bringing about transformative change.

I just hope it happens before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
