19. I am totally bummed out

Earl - Love ya - I totally get your points. And I certainly hope we can win the goal in the end next year.

However, with the total under performance of the GOP this year with Trump and his lawless corrupt cronies, I feel that people in this country don't have a clue as to what is about to happen next. A loss is a loss, and a win is a win. We need every win we can get. Winning tonight would have been HUGE! But it didn't happen. Shame on me for being positive.

How anyone can go into that voting booth and vote for a GOP candidate is just unbelievable to me. Our democracy is on the line here, and to me obviously these people just don't give a shit.

I am just so sick and tired of the constant bullshit and lies from our current administration, I could cry. And it's obvious no one on the right could care less what our country will look like for our kids and grand kids. What a total disappointment.

But ya know, tomorrow will soon be here and we can put this all behind us. I refuse to let this get me down.

I'm sorry. Rant over. I had to vent somewhere. It's insane what we are witnessing, over and over again.
