Not until the last spark fades

I am happy that Trump did exactly what he knew he would have done, flame out. Clinton did a great job of playing matadora to his bull (shit), though to be fair, many of the ladies on a decent high school debate team could have ripped him to hash.

However, we have shown a weakness to polls, which we know are often nothing more than cooked over bullshit. There is one, and only one way, to defeat Trump, regardless of whatever the media say.

VOTE
Get other people TO VOTE.

Full stop.

Know when the early voting in your state is. I am in a swing state of Florida, so naturally they cut early voting by a week.

Remember, if they LIMP over the finish line, they will act like they had a mandate from God. They did that with W. and now that the people even W. found awful are in the driver's seat, we could see the end of this nation. Yes, I know, your Jill Stein friends want that because they think they will crawl out of the wreckage to be anointed the new saviors, their bodies will be in the same graves ours are, especially if the Chinese say "enough of this shit!"

Ad even if you are not that thrilled with Hillary (and I am not) then realize our only hope to make thing progressive is to put pressure leftward starting five minutes after her victory, but also realize we cannot do that if we do not WIN.
