I hope there is a bigger crowd than the last one.

If that is possible.

YMMV but my eyes are straining to see 1,826 days ahead to the constitutional end of all this.

I am just gobsmacked that I missed the word “days” in the title. No need to change it, I will live with my shame. Still I am just not as good a writer as I was many years ago.

I’m not so sure. I can’t see what horrors Trump will wreak on this country and the world between now and then, so thick is the fog of his calumny upon the face of the deep. I know the time is drawing short, and yet I can’t see from here what will be left for us a year from now.

If the DEMs couldn’t beat him with the best qualified candidate ever you reckon the current poor shower are better than 50-50? With a good economy as the backdrop?

Seems logical to me.  
After all, the OP did say he wants to see “the end” of this.  
And it ain’t gonna end on November 3.

Rachel Maddow is going to need a whole staff of makeup artists in the studio, to cover up her tears.

So we are seeing the end of this as @Paul_in_Qatar foresaw. What has happened to Paul? Did I miss his exit? Is Paul . . . dead?
