To try and bring the country together, as the new President-elect continues to divide and to shock the common senses of many Americans?
Whose responsibility is it to be gracious? Who's responsibility is it to unite our country toward a common purpose?
Donald Trump is not a uniter. Donald Trump is a divider. That is who he is. That is the environment in which we must work and live for the next four years? He is not going to change.
We will probably survive but we will be a lesser nation, weakened by the division and hatred and the threats of punishment and revenge. It is difficult to see how we come out of this election in a better place?
Is there anything President Obama can do to improve the present situation? Can he give a speech? Can he talk with our allies and re-assure them that we are still by their side? Can he convince the majority of Americans that we will survive this crisis and come out stronger than ever before?
We are in a constitutional crisis and the new President-elect continues to ignore it. Meanwhile, the clock keeps ticking...
