I voted for the first time in 1973 and have not missed one since.

I have disliked a lot of candidates over the years but I never lost sleep worrying about what would happen to the country and the world if that person were elected. I disagreed with their policies, with the direction they wanted to take us, but I didn't "fear" them.

This year is so different. I am terrified of Donald Trump. I am terrified that something will be dropped by wiki or the Russians right before this election. I am terrified that Democrats will become complacent and if she is beating him to death in the polls they won't bother to show up.

Remember, it is the Supreme Court for the next 30 years, it is the wrong finger on the button, it is our perception around the world, it is OUR VERY LIVES!

Every time I see people on DU celebrating the latest state or national poll I become more afraid. We do not have a history of turning out to vote if we think we are going to win.

I know many of you are tired of me beating this drum, but I plan to continue until the day after election day. If you want to hide me do it but please please vote!

along with most Hillary bashers. That is not to say they won't attempt something.
On the upside, I think Trump has reached the point of burnout on getting new recruits. Toto pulled back thr curtain on that. What does concern me is that the constant drumbeat against Hillary will cause some people to stay home.
So I am with you 100%
GOTV!
