With the mood of the electorate right now, I think

that both Hillary and Trump need to be very careful for their personal safety.

If there is any problems it will be from the right wingnut gun lovers. I still can't believe we've not passed any real gun control measures in 8 years. I know Congress has been a road block but that is something we should have tackled in 2009 when we had control of the House and Senate.

It's a complete travesty that this is still an issue.

We had conservadems, Kennedy was ill and later we had Scott from Mass...we never had 60 votes which is why 2010 was so unfair to Obama...imagine if many Democrats and others from the left had not bailed on Obama and elected more liberal senators, and he had kept the House in 10...we could have done way more stuff. You want a liberal president, give him/her a liberal congress.
