I'm glad Bill Maher's pushing that way. We should all be working as though we're ten points behind! We CANNOT afford to get complacent! There's WAY too much at stake.

And NO, a Trump Presidency would NOT be all that easily survivable for far too many of us, or somehow preferable to a Hillary Presidency. Those who claim that are probably the same people who insist both parties are the same, that there's no difference between Dems and CONS. Which, frankly, is idiotic, besides being flatly and thoroughly wrong.
