74. I voted for Bernie in the primary, but always knew I'd support the Democratic nominee.

Trump is dangerous and frankly, scares the bejeezus out of me. We can not afford to have Trump and Pence near 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I thought W and Cheney were bad (and they were), but this is a whole other thing. The thought of Trump having the nuclear codes keeps me up at night. Dictator much?

On the bright side, I am actually pretty stoked that Hillary chose Tim Kaine for her running mate. He is a solid choice (was a city council member, mayor, governor and is currently a senator...that's serious credentials!).

Virginia has a Dem governor so G-d willing Hillary wins in November, McCaulliffe will, in all likelihood, appoint a Democratic senator (if Booker, Warren or Brown had been selected, the NJ, MA and OH governors, respectively, would have appointed Republican senators).

Living in Richmond, I'm particularly excited to see Richmond put on the map!

I'm with Her (and him)!
