7. I've been saying this lately because I get too worn out just thinking too much

about all the "what ifs."

We never know what could happen. Right now, it seems our candidates will be Hillary and Rand. But only a week ago it was Hillary and Jeb. Now Jeb is stalled. Christie's past has so rapidly caught up with him that it's mind boggling, given where we were a year ago with him. And the slow drip from the investigations both state and federal aren't going to make things any better for him. Still, we have to wait it out.

I have been concerned for Hillary's health in the back of my mind for a long while. That concussion she suffered was no small thing. It was scary that the flu caused her to be in such a dehydrated state that she lost consciousness and fell. I know she was going full tilt at the time as SOS but sheesh...health problems do creep up as we age and she is no different.

We tend in this country to go all out for different candidates in these bizarre spurts way too early before the next election. By the time we get to the actual campaign primaries, we're exhausted and this tends to make us not think straight.
