We have such a deep core of sexism in this country.. [View all]

The two times Trump ran against women.. he won.. the one time he lost, it was to a man.. seriously we have got to reexamine our fear of women that must be so endemic in our society..

I am exhausted,, and need some time to grieve for our loss.. I was so hopeful.. especially after the Des Moines Register Iowa Poll.. it is a great poll that picks up on voter movement.. whew.. what a miserable miserable night..
