Thank goodness I still have a six this late in the week! Wow! I can't even speak. This is beyond words. Finally, a balanced conversational approach centered on observation much more than opinion, but with said opinions sprinkled sparingly & humbly here & there. I love that you're expressing some definite opinions here, but mostly by SHOWING instead of TELLING. Hillary tried to do this with her TV ads, but the desperation & castigation made it much less palatable that your light-hearted rant here. This is so good, it goes a long ways to healing the wounds that are still painful. It's impossible to have a discussion about any of this, in this country, becuz everyone is so fucking pissed, they get in your face & spout opinion bombs laced with the lies we have come to accept as the new normal. But I digress. Let's keep this a healing walk & thanks for the balm . . . (((HUGS)))

Thanks for the stars and here's hoping we're both wrong. I shared my opinion, but I get to go home to a place where the stakes have never been so high. The leader of the USA IS the leader of the free world and there are expectations and responsibility needed to fill the office and keep so many safe. Really, I hope I am wrong. Thanks.

I'm starting to formulate my next poem about how I'm checking out & going to live in my wilderness wonderland all clueless & happy (good thing I'm old, so I might die before the planet goes to hell in a handbasket!) *wink! wink!* (((HUGS)))

Wow! I am very impressed with this account of your experiencing an American election first-hand on-site. I like your objectivity in describing what you see enroute and how you--as a Canadian--looked at the election BEFOREHAND. I am very impressed with how knowledgeable you are and how well you defended Hillary. I think you have done the FanStory readership a great favor here by positing this well-thought out, interesting, informative, and quite persuasive essay. Rod

Thanks for your kind words. I have nothing but respect for this country, if not the president-elect. I've never wanted to be wrong so badly in my life. Thanks.

A well written non-fiction writing contest entry. I think you have completed the challenge of the contest very well. Your well-chosen words flowed well from beginning to end as the story moved right along.
