The point that Dr Sowell is making is that we should not ignore that the election is also about Congress. The entire House faces reelections and the Senate 34 states have elections for Senate which we must not ignore.

I was addressing the first line of the article:

Some of us this election year don't even want to say the words "Clinton" or "Trump" -- and with good reason

I used to be an admirer of Dr. Sowell. Even he can't seem to open an analysis without a gratuitous swipe at Trump.

I get it... he's a flawed person and a imperfect politician. Anyone voluntarily subjecting himself to the last year would have to be a bubble off level. But we don't get to create our own perfect candidate, we have to choose them off the rack...unless we're willing to step into the ring ourselves.

Pointing out that he's flawed is not an intellectual achievement, and I'm up to here with mindless virtue signaling. Sowell and other critics need to get off Trump's back, or welcome the second President Clinton...with all that entails.

Trump is the perfect man for this time and place, and head and shoulders above any other Pub candidate.

I just went by my polling place in Clearlake (Houston) TX.
The lines, as reported went out the door, around the building to the rear parking lot. Est 3 to 4 hours.
Parking spilled onto street for 2 blocks on both sides. I will go back when I can have more time to wait.
Voter enthusiasm is very high here.
