Tonight, my DU Friends, I go to bed with hope(and that's a good thing)

It may be foolish and misguided, but tonight I feel hope for the first time since Election Day.

Tonight our hero stepped away from his Office, victorious. Tonight our bane has taken a massive hit that may or may not lead to something unprecedented, his removal. Tonight we heard unconfirmed confirmation of what we here believed to be true.

Tonight we at least have hope.

We'll see what happens.
