I will be taking a break for the next several days as we endure the slow agony of waiting to learn if the American people want to be led by a sociopath—a question that’s never had to be answered before. I’ve groaned and moaned to the limit of my ability, and now my nerves are too frazzled to permit anything more rational than a primal scream of frustration and horror that life in these United States has come to this. There is no doubt in my mind that Donald Trump’s election would be an unparalled disaster for this country. Now all we can do is watch for events to reveal themselves, whether we will have a near miss or utter disaster. I can only pray for the biggest possible Hillary win, and it seems it will take no small measure of luck to swing that. Here’s hoping.
