GOP Star Wars
The Republican party is at war with itself on multiple fronts two of which I’d like to explore a bit today.
Don’t Stay Up Too Late
Unless you, like me, are a political junkie don’t bother staying up late tonight looking for the final net results of the election. The reason, you ask. It’s simple, we won’t know all the results for days. America no longer has an election day; it has an election season.

As planned, Thursday morning I voted early. About a week prior to that I printed out a sample ballot and did my research.

That is not what it looks like less than a month from Election Day.
