You could just check in once in a while and then see when it starts to get real to them (iow, when it gets good).

I saw the beginning of 2016 when Hillary was coming in ahead. I was so sickened, that I just turned the TV off and went to bed and figured I’d deal with whatever happened in the morning. I could not stand to watch all the gloating as Trump lost, so it seemed.

I did miss all the fun, it turns out. I would have been up all night otherwise.

So I get where you’re coming from. I still haven’t decided what I’m going to do this year yet.

I saw the beginning of 2016 when Hillary was coming in ahead. I was so sickened, that I just turned the TV off and went to bed and figured I’d deal with whatever happened in the morning. I could not stand to watch all the gloating as Trump lost, so it seemed. I did miss all the fun, it turns out. I would have been up all night otherwise.

I will never forget that night if I live to be 100. I also was resigned to Hillary winning, and I decided not to watch TV at all. Too depressing.

Then at around 9:30 p.m. (NY time), while I was at work, my girlfriend Facebooked me: "Trump is in the lead."

"What???" I declared. I turned to CNN, which sure enough confirmed it.

I hurried home & turned on CNN, while keeping in touch with friends on Facebook. "Trump just got Nebraska . . . Iowa . . ."

Finally, at around 2:00 a.m., his face appeared on the screen. "PRESIDENT TRUMP!"

I am praying for the same thing this year.
