I expect to MSM meme to shift to “even though Trump will win he will not have enough of a victory to have a mandate to implement his policies.”

Exactly. The media is already talking about a potential Trump win. In a couple of weeks it will be selling the idea that he has no mandate. The $140 million in advertising spending tells me they are going after a blow out Trump mandate.

Now Congress will suddenly matter after Obama has ignored the law and governed by whim. Presidents will be expected to abide by every rule again, as long as they are Republican presidents.

The seven stages of grief are:
1) shock
2) denial
3) anger
4) bargaining
5) guilt
6) depression
7) acceptance.

Agreed. I'm torn between 2), 4) and 7).

Then again, they may begin endlessly looping through 1-7 when he wins. :-)

Yep, which is precisely why I tell people in blue states who say, “Well, my vote won’t count anyway so I will vote my conscience” for Johnson that they are undercutting Trump’s administration. I had one colleague say he hadn’t thought about that and is reconsidering.

It’s not only critical that we win more than a narrow victory, but that we win a majority of the popular vote.

Great point. That would be them trying to "soften the blow," trying to water down and de-legitimize a Trump Presidency.

It'll come.
