I don't know, but a President Hillary Clinton would look pretty good [View all]

about now. I'd think that would be true for almost everyone, really, who isn't a right-wing creep. Just thinking about all the things that wouldn't be happening makes me long to go back to last Fall. Just imagine how different the news would be.

I know we can't go back, but we sure can think about what things would be like had she won a few tens of thousand of votes in just three states. I imagine that often as I watch the slow destruction of our rights and nation. And then I become discouraged again.

It's a pity, I think. A real pity. What a thing to happen, and we came so close, too.
