There will be drinking... not champagne - that's too elitist. I prefer beer or mixed drinks, rum and coke sound good.
As when the underdog NY Giants took down the mighty, over-confident, entitled New England Patriots - there WILL be some gloating. How could you not? But that part will be short lived and mostly we will focus on our glorious team, obstacles overcome, and our wonderful quarterback.
The Presumptive Day Pollster Elf climbs up through your toilet the night the Presumptive is declared. You are passed out drunk from all the celebrations on the bathroom floor. He leaves you the ingredients for a hangover cure: Water, Gatorade, and Advil. You also mysteriously wake up with the peace of mind that the nomination is in the hands of the best candidate.
Presumptive supporters do not have to buy other candidates supporters anything... after all we've given to our candidate, we can't afford it. BUT we do promise to keep the gloating to a minimum and move on to our next task at hand quickly.
The official food of Presumptive Day is whatever you and your loved ones deem as most AMERICAN. For my family that's barbeque short ribs, corn on the cob, and potato salad. Other family choices may vary. No choice is the wrong one as long as it makes you happy.
There is no need for the Presumptive supporters to "air grievances" because we will already have overcome our grievances. We won! Nothing more cathartic than winning. No brawl either. Only love on Presumptive Day! Love and beer.
I propose that the day AFTER Presumptive day is the day for other candidates supporters to air their grievances. Let's give them space to vent. At the end of the day, all are invited to join our continued multi-day celebration and welcomed into our fold with open arms.
GOBAMA!!
