(and/or die) under a President Trump - or Cruz. or Rubio. I find myself constantly amazed at how far down the Rabbit Hole we have come where a significant number of our co-citizens are even considering voting for these clowns. Depressing beyond words. And what I really fear right now is that what appears to be turning out to be a bruising Democratic Primary will leave some of our fellow Democrats embittered or at best disengaged come general election time. Our turnout is absolutely crucial to our success. We can't afford to play the "the perfect is enemy of the very good" game. Not this time with so much at stake.
