This is like a movie. A lot set-up to a close contest. And Trump is basically just an entertainer, and has always liked to tantalize the public by making things uncertain. If we were in a movie theater (remember movie-theaters?), we'd be enjoying the tension. It's like all the classic movies where the working-class hero goes up against the rich scoundrel.

Not so enjoyable in real life, is it?

Oh yeah. As enjoyable as watching a movie about an entire populace about to be enslaved. My kind of story. I also like to watch movies about puppies being tortured.

Ah, it's harvest time and I see we have a bumper crop of sour grapes this year!

Which is great since we've had such a bumper crop the last four years in a row. One would think the soil may well be depleted by now. But, it appears not. So... what's good for the goose... as the old saying goes.

You are, like your tag line says, definitely 125 years too late if you're still dreaming of slavery. Come back to reality.

This IS a movie,..for me anyways.

If I didn't watch any of it I'd still go to work,..still pay my bills,.play video games..say hi to my neighbors.

It's just some people invest their soul into this and tie their well being to politics. And it's nothing but unneeded stress.
