But it is what it is. I accept that. I learned to be a realist early on in my life, when I sat huddled in a foxhole in the dead of night.
We both know that projecting what would have been, should have been, or could have been, does nothing for how we are about to wind actually being. It is redundant to sit around and mull over who will step up to correct this mess. There just are no other options left for us.
All we can do is hope that whoever wins thin fiasco will surprise all of us and do the right thing. There is still that possibility. Even Romney is certainly capable of that, in spite of his past. (Don't take that as an endorsement!)
All we can do now is watch and wait. (I hate to say it)
I take some solace in the fact that I am emotionally detached.
