4. Hillary won the vote. No one should be allowed to say "She lost," or to pontificate...

....with long faces on "How she lost it for the Democrats," or any of that bullshit.

SHE WON, and every Democrat who appears in the media in any capacity should be honor-bound to make those the first words out of his or her mouth in any discussion of the way forward.

The Electoral College has got to go. Senator Barbara Boxer put forward a bill to that effect today. It will go nowhere in the moment, but we the people need to take it up.

Furthermore, there should be a law, and I mean a LAW, against allowing the media to call a presidential election before the absentee ballots are counted. They are still being counted, and Hillary is adding to her total all the time. A presidential election is not some form of entertainment for the financial benefit of the television stations. It's deadly serious.

Gods, it's good to be back home. I love our other home, but even so.

I will give her a kick. sheshe2 Nov 2016 #1
