We have to stop pretending that Trump's supporters will be turned off by this. Maybe it'll be enough to keep him out of the White House, but I've also seen it suggested that people return to their party affiliation on Election Day, even if they'd been avoiding it prior to then. FiveThirtyEight's election prediction still has Clinton winning (and the odds have gone up since yesterday), so hopefully he's turned off enough independent voters that he loses.

I hope that whoever wins, we as a country do some much-needed soul searching.

Agreed. Our kids and grandkids will look back at our generation and ask, " What the hell was wrong with people in the 2010's? You guys narrowly avoided electing the supreme embodiment of the worst of human behavior."

Or, he wins and all of us hubskier's are sent to Trump's version of the gulag for questioning our supreme leader as we are here and now.

At least the company will be reasonable. :)
