Taking note of the appropriate counsel of avoiding excess optimism, the political news appears to be trending in a positive direction. Kamala Harris turns out to be a petite, attractive lady with a pleasant manner who people have trouble envisioning as President. She is no Margaret Thatcher, no Iron Lady.
Like him or hate him, Donald Trump has stature. We’ve seen him as President and, most of us, didn’t hate the experience. We’ve seen him under fire … literally, unfortunately … and know he has courage.
Absent some unanticipated cataclysm Trump will be elected President and perhaps a quarter of our population will experience extreme angst. Many will consider emigrating, few will actually do so. Psychiatrists will reap the benefits.
