I'm STILL with her. As are almost three million MORE Americans than fell for The Donald.

How long do you think it'll be before some of those dumb-asses finally wake up? How long do you think it'll be before we'll start seeing inklings of a "come to Hillary" moment, where at least a few of 'em start letting a few tiny little second thoughts see the light of day? Most of 'em, no. But I'll bet in muted conversations around a future Thanksgiving table or some such, you'll start hearing a few begrudging mea culpas. Maybe after they've watched their Medicare get cut, radically (or disappear entirely), with all the ensuing excuses about how we have to build up our military and everything else just has to get starved because we have to use every extra penny on building up the nuclear arms race. "Well, I dunno.. I guess maybe I shoulda voted for Hillary..."

And how many times will we hear choruses of "we WARNED you! We tried And TRIED to warn you!"

Then again, though, the one thing most people Hate-Hate-Hate to do is to admit they were wrong. Or worse, admit they've been HAD.

Thank You, Hillary. [View all] OKNancy Dec 2016 OP
