So maybe a Trump presidency wouldn't be Armageddon. The extremes of hope and despair don't always bear out. But a Trump presidency wouldn't be good.

nice post
as to Obie, I voted for him twice, 08 and 12. I supported Hill in 08 however in the primary.
That said, and I get and am furious at the GOP for how they adapted an obstructionist platform but Obie holds much of the blame.
He is not a legislator, he is not a diplomat. He has not had a productive presidency. IMO.
