At first I had hoped T-Rump would be overwhelmingly humiliated, so I was initially disappointed the results were as close as they were. But then I became convinced that not giving the Dems a mandate would help hold the Bernies and AOCs in check. So all in all, it was the best we could hope for. Now we must wait to see if the GOP can heal itself.
(Full disclosure: I’m a registered Republican who voted for a Democratic president for the first time in my long life. I’m not proud of it, but it’s what I had to do.
Fuller disclosure: I’ve spent about half my life as an Independent but switched back to GOP to vote against the Religious Right in primaries. I’d tell you what I think of Rick Santorum, but I don’t want to get banned from GoComics.)
