You have to think about electability

[Siwsan]

10. I readily admit that it was a bit of a worry in 2008.

I remember the feeling of joy and astonishment that washed over me, election night, where I almost pinched myself, to see if I was dreaming. I worried less in 2012, but still, as I recall, the vote did a little movement away from Blue.

I believe there are people who didn't normally vote, but did come out and vote for trump*. It might be a toss up if they were voting for him, or against Hillary. Did they not want her because of her gender, or because of her husband? I just don't know.

Let me be really specific, though. I've never been more terrified about the future of this country. Right now it's too early to really take a temperature of how people feel. I'd be THRILLED to be a part of the voting block that elects the first female POTUS. Hillary getting the majority vote gives me some hope. BUT as long as we have an electoral college that benefits the traditionally neo-con populated red states, my pragmatic side is going to take control over my hopeful side.

Does that make sense?

And I DO SO want to be proven to be a ridiculous fretter. And I just finished a Margarita so my thought process might be a bit woozy.
