I love mail-in voting. No more lines, no more waiting for people to find my name in a large book, no more trying to figure out the machines. Love it!
Never Trump

It is kind of fun that Utah feels like they actually matter for a change. I predict Trump will win easily, but at least there's been hope of something different.

Is your respect for McCain in any way affected by his recent statements to the effect that the Republican Senate will/may refuse to consider any Supreme Court Hillary puts forward?
This statments, if sincere, takes him out of the resonable camp and puts him squarely in the fanatic camp, IMHO. I find it to be very, very disappointing.
I didn't vote for Obama in either election. But no matter who wins tomorrow, I am going to miss having a President who is a decent, kind, calm, caring person who I felt tried to do the right things for the right reasons and faced an extremely difficult task. I'm going to miss his wife as First Lady. I'm grateful they broke the presidential race barrier.
He has apparently backed off from that statement, but it was very appalling. Since the Republican platform seems to be solely to fight Democrats, I wasn't terribly surprised.
No it doesn't. And I find that very disappointing.
I hope that Clinton guess much further to the left than Obama's moderate candidate that they blocked. Teach them to **** around.

Our very own Mike Lee is also supporting a policy of not allowing Hillary to appoint a single Supreme Court justice, under the theory that she'd appoint ones inclined to support the Democratic policy agenda (and AS IF a Republican president would nominate justices based solely on their legal bonafides
)Unfortunately, I think we'll see a repeat, even doubling down, of the Republican strategy vs. Obama--obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. Republicans will reason that IF they only hold out for 4 more years, they can defeat Hillary in 2020, which is what they reasoned in 2008 and 2012 with regards to Obama. Thus we will have had 12 years of Republican obstructionism in Congress by 2020. The US needs two parties each with a serious committment to governing and finding solutions to pressing issues requiring some degree of cooperation and compromise. What has happened the last 8 years, and will likely occur over the next 4 years, is very discouraging and can't help but make cynics of us all.
Over the last 8 years, Republicans have made it clear that they have no intention to govern or act in good faith with regards to a Democratic President. They could have, for example, come to the table with a serious reform proposal for the Affordable Care Act, but instead for 8 years they've pandered to the fanatics in their base by voting time and time again to repeal it. They still have yet to articulate a realistic, serious proposal that would keep levels of coverage anywhere near where they have risen under ACA.
I would, further, take odds on a bet that at some point, Republicans will gin up some reason to try to impeach Hillary, should she win. Those of us support a progressive policy agenda can only hope that the Democrats reclaim control of the Senate, particularly, if past trends hold, Republicans make gains in the mid-term elections, then she'll have at least two years to try to get something done.
God, I hate politics.
I'll freely and readily give the President that. He was a good man. Family man, intelligent, calm, caring...

I think we need more La Raza judges to. Racists that want the USA turned back over to Mexico should fill the Supreme Court.
Mike Lee an the republicans are right in there attempts to foil democrats trying to destroy this country through massive debt, immigration policy, infiltrating churches an taking away religious freedom, EPA pushing business to Mexico an China, loading the Supreme Court with racist crackpots, an Obama fueling racialist tensions an getting cops killed. They are tryin to cause destruction from the inside. The democrats are a Trojan Horse an I can not respect anybody that does not do everything in there power to stop them.

You're a troll, right? (God I hope so, for your sake.)
He's been losing the act more and more. Trollin' ain't easy.
