That being said, I too feel it is time to move on...and have decided to trash the postmortem...I said I would not go there anymore but of course something captures my eye, and I am back at it...it doesn't really matter who is to blame. Unless the recount is more successful than I expect (yes I believe they cheated but can it be proven?), this is the hand we have been dealt...so it is time to stand up and fight Trump and the evil Republicans with everything we have ...our kids and future grandkids are depending on us. We can work to regain the Senate in 18...yes I know it is uphill...but we have Trump and he is going to suck so that should help our effort. And God willing we can make him a one term president thus limiting the damage. Time to move on. I am not waiting until the end of December.
