I think your assessment is spot-on, Reg. I have a few questions and observations.

What do you think, Reg, of Julian Assange's claim that he has more dirt to dish out on Hillary? Also, do you think it's possible that Donald could bow out and someone of the stature of Paul Ryan be deemed the new GOP candidate? I know, it seems unlikely, but this is such a bizarre election. Both of these possibilities concern me.

Today I visited with a family whom I've known for almost 50 years. The parents, now in their mid to late 70s, have been watching and listening to Fox News and other right wing outlets for a long time. They are leaning heavily to Trump. I never would have believed that these thoroughly decent and loving people would go to the dark side. It's beyond dispiriting. On the plus side, their four children and their spouses (in all their 40s and well educated) are for Hillary. They are far from enamored with her but they see Trump for what he is.
