Mr. Trump - don't drop that baton

While the Republican programs will create significant long term issues with the deficit, income inequality and social order, in the near term we are likely to see the continued economic success based on the Foundation that President Obama developed.

That is the ultimate irony that President-elect may succeed economically (whether foreign affairs or social issues sink him is a separate set of issues) because of what President Obama bequeathed him. 

Why I will not be voting today

Well I can certainly say I welcome the arrival of election day.  We can now at least get a breather from the non-stop coverage and endless arguing over the personalities of the candidates.  I’ve been most discouraged in this election cycle by the utter lack of deep discussion of policy, and laser like focus on email habits or video tapes of crude statements made privately more than a decade ago.  Folks, this whole thing is entertainment and nothing more.
