48. I voted for her.

Dec 2016

But I know many who refused to vote. Actually, it didn't make much difference in Minnesota except for a chance to flip a house seat. I saw this coming in the burbs while canvassing and phoning. This morning I'm thinking that the only Democrat we managed to elect wasn't a multi millionaire like Gore, Kerry, and Clinton. Rightly or wrongly it seems rich liberals are despised by both the left and the right. I supported Bernie in the primaries because I was afraid of a candidate with high negatives, but I don't have any way of knowing if he would have done any better. At least it's over and now I'm thinking of leaving the country. It looks like Medicare will be gone or at least crippled, and I am worried about my social security. Without it I would be under a bridge. Welcome to Amerika.
