Yes, some of us are still 'concerned'

The list of people saying 'Don't worry, we got this!' and being proven wrong by the Trumpfederacy is rather long. It includes the people who guaranteed us he would never even register on the GOP radar, the ones who assured us he would get slaughtered in the Rethuglian primaries, the ones who theorized the Republican establishment would still find a way to make Rubio the nominee, and the ones who predicted candidate Adolf Trump would now barely poll in the double digits at best.

Our problem isn't with HRC or anything fellow progressives are doing. I have absolute faith in her and fellow Democrats. The problem is that if the American people really had all the wisdom that we're supposed to see on Tuesday, the people who guaranteed us the Mango Messiah would never even register on the GOP radar or would at least get slaughtered in the Rethuglian primaries would've been spot on.

I also have to think of the Brexit, where we kept being told that it was inconceivable Britain would vote to leave the EU. Even last minute polling made the Remain vote to be the favorite. The next morning, sane Britons woke up in disbelief. Never understimate the hatred of the knuckledragging conservatives and nationalists.



Of course, I'd love to wake up on Wednesday morning and have found myself to have been proven very wrong. I'll be the first to admit I may have been overly 'concerned'
