I believe that NYT, MSNBC, to name a few, helped hand the election to Trump against Hilary, by showing him all the time, and by the repeated comment that " nobody trusts her." Now they (press and Tv) show Trump all the time and mostly refer to Biden when mentioning his age. This is why I stick to HCR, who by the way gave a talk in my original home town in Maine to a standing ovation the other night. I received many calls about how great she was; one friend said she cried from the relief of feeling hope.

I see some reasons to hope, but certainly also for alarm. I think the future can be depended upon to surprise us, though the surprise will be how. Jessie Jackson said something to the effect that you don't drown until you stop swimming, and there are stranger things in heaven and earth than our dreamt of in our philosophies.
