> with Hillary as the candidate

yeah i know a lot of us are super-disappointed about this, but it's going to work out for us long-term. for example, we know how the Clintons like to "triangulate", compromising endlessly until they arrive at a desired position of political strength, right? well the locations of a lot of those positions of political strength are about to change, and we're going to see her triangulating toward us instead of away from us.

if you're right about KS, it's unfortunate, but that state has far deeper problems than hurling a handful of electors into the unforgiving void of voting for the Republican nominee. KS is very broken, infested with the worst strains of Republicanism, and like much of the south it will take a few more years to remedy.

the quickest way to help the south and the western "red" states along is to shift the mainstream, and that's about to happen in a big way.
