It had to happen. Someone was going to declare a 'mandate'. Never mind that Ms Clinton actually won the popular vote. After all we are now officially in Trumplandia and reality or facts just do not matter.
There was a brief period during the last two days when I thought that perhaps there were enough adults in Congress that actually believe in American values that there might be some hope for government. Of course, it was an entirely vain hope not supported by recent history.
Here's a thought, how about during the 2018 elections we think about doing what we failed to do this time and actually elect a Congress that can govern based on some sense of reality and rational thought.
With a nod to Thomas Paine, Baron d'Holbach, and "Captain Obvious" perspectives on what should be, but remarkably often isn't, obvious common sense.
