You just want to be able to say "President Bone".

To be honest, I think that the results served to confirm the opinions of each candidate's supporters, but I'm not sure how much either one swayed the single largest voting block - Independents. Trump makes some great points, and his statement that he'd prosecute Clinton if he is elected certainly served to get Clinton-haters' salivary juices flowing (which includes me, by the way). But the flip side of that is this: we have a long history of NOT prosecuting malfeasance after an election is over. Nobody prosecuted (republican) Richard Nixon for Watergate, and yet he was clearly involved in a criminal conspiracy. Nobody prosecuted (democrat) Bill Clinton for rape, and yet he has at least as many accusers as Bill Cosby has; and frankly, disbarment doesn't seem to have hurt his financial prospects one little bit. When it comes to politics, this country seems to be traditionally satisfied with simply getting rid of a bad egg by ending their political career.

Let me be clear..... I am NOT saying she shouldn't be prosecuted. What I AM saying is that I don't think that Trump's threat will resonate well with independents - particularly undecided independents. So whether or not you agree with him, I think that was a risky gambit.....if that analysis makes sense to anyone.

I missed the first half hour unintentionally. I had simply let time get away from me, and didn't turn it on until 8:30, so I don't know what I missed in that first half hour.
