what we think is going to happen is completely pointless, none of us have any idea. its a waste of emotional capital, go spend your day at the park or hugging your kids. you'll be fine.
one of the times I completely agree with Dave.

Doesn't affect me all that much to be honest.

These people sooooooo fired about about the presidential election really should focus their energies more on a local level IMO

Such an amazing story. Forget the feelings and sides and emotions.

Just an amazing historical event that we just lived through.

Can't say it enough as what an upset at a level we may never see again in this country for another 100 years.

The problem is when he has Rudy, Chris Christie, and Ben Carson on stage with him last night it doesn't lend itself to confidence he's trending towards "great political minds".

But I do prefer the wait and see plan. My wife's on the "it's doomsday" train.

Nope! Called 10 - 20 minutes later to concede to Trump.

Had Trump did this he would have been ran out of the country!

She's set to speak at 930 this morning but she called him last night.

I have to believe she was completely in shock and possibly mentally unstable after that upset. :lol:

We have a 24 hour policy where you cannot contact a coach for Jr. High and HS football due to an emotional period if you want to discuss anything...
I cannot even begin to imagine what she is going through after this.

Good for this C U Next Tuesday though!

Never heard her actually concede. Nor did she ever say Trumps name.

For what its worth, it was reported that on the call last night she did state that she would be willing with him on behalf of the nation.

How do you envision The Donald responded to that tidbit. :lol:
