Folks, Hillary Clinton will be the 45th President of the United States. It is time to get comfortable with that eventuality.
The Republicans, given the deepest, most talented field of candidates in a lifetime, managed to nominate possibly the only candidate a figure as reviled as Hillary Clinton could defeat.
I am hoping for Republican majority retention of Congress, to limit Madam President’s ability to do harm (ahem, wholly considering the limited degree to which we still respect the U.S. Constitution).
I am also hoping for an epiphany among Trump supporters—many of whom I count among my close friends, respected intellects, or both. Though I find Donald Trump thoroughly unacceptable and revolting, I have somewhat tempered my rhetorical attacks on him, solely out of respect for the people I respect who are supporting him.
I do not say that lightly. I have several powerful minds in my immediate circle—minds belonging to people I respect greatly—who have concluded that Trump is the right answer. As with my outright political opponents, I regard them as thinking, reasonable people who have simply reached a different conclusion from mine.
I am hopeful we will find unity and clarity of purpose in the aftermath of Hillary Clinton’s victory, and mount a credible, principled, coherent challenge to her in 2020.

It won’t matter here, but I’m voting McMullin.
On the plus side… It’s an excellent year to vote third party. I’ve actually done my homework this year to pick one that most closely matches my opinions. Turns out, one of them is a better match than either of the two main stream candidates.

Do you know if Alabama has a write-in option? I’ve tried searching and Googling this question but cannot find a solid answer.
Yes. And several candidates have filed their paperwork as valid write-ins. I believe Evan McMullin and Bernie Sanders are both qual’d here.
