What election night brought you the greatest joy?

The night of the 2000 election I was by myself, tucked cozily in a hotel room, having traveled on business. I thought they'd called Florida for Bush so I turned everything off and slept in peace. The next morning at the breakfast buffet, everyone looked upset and I didn't rest easy until over a month later. The industrial client in rural Tennessee so I was amongst kindred spirits





It was a dark and stormy night: 08-Nov-2016. Back then I thought the polls were trustworthy. One pollster put up his projected map with "her" narrow victory, with a fine print footnote stating that MI, WI, PA, NV, FL, and MN plus a few other states were in play.

Nonetheless I was convinced "she" was going to eat Trump's lunch. My husband was more optimistic. How utterly miserable I was, driving my daughter home from a club meeting on that cold, dark, rainy night.

My husband watched the returns while I disappeared to work on a hobby. I couldn't bear to watch that vile woman smirk and queen it over us. My husband kept whooping and telling me to come watch with him. I was too sunk in a pit of misery. But I did get curious and I opened up the New York Slimes election results.

The rest is history. Lefties are definitely on the WRONG side of it along with every other communist filth ever to soil this good earth.
