Happy Election Day: Thankfully it's over
It's Tuesday. November 6, 2018. Election day is finally here.
A lot of us have been waiting for this day since November 8, 2016. Two years....two long years. This is the day that we've targeted. This is the day we would go vote in record numbers. This is the day we would take back Congress. This would be the day that would start to limit the damage that our current President has done to the country. This would be the day that would lead to taking back the presidency in 2020. This would be the day we would take no prisoners.
To paraphrase Bluto in "Animal House" Rauner, he's a dead man, Cruz-dead, Trump...DEAD!!!
Honestly, I have no idea if this will happen today. We do know that people have come out to vote early in record numbers. Win or lose, that's a great thing. As for the other things, I'm pretty sure Rauner is a dead man...at least as far as being Illinois Governor. I'm pretty sure the Democrats will retake the house...pretty sure. Everything else is up for grabs....and Trump is far from being finished!
One thing I do know is by the end of the night, all of this will be over. The constant inane rallies will be over. The days of filthy rich men spending millions of their own dollars for a job that pays $150K will be over. The robocalls will be over. The ridiculous television ads for candidates you never knew existed will be over. It'll all be over...except for the posturing to get ready for the next election in 2020...when we get to do it all over again.
So again, Happy Election Day. If you haven't done so, please go vote. I voted a week ago, so I'm heading back to sleep. Wake me up on Wednesday.
