“Nobody really knows what the hell will happen with this election.”

My “anyone but Hillary” husband and this “anyone but Donald” wife managed to have a civil and loving discussion about the election.

I’m tentatively optimistic that Hillary will win. He sees possibilities for Donald. But his conclusion: “nobody really knows . . . ”

On that, we agree.

As we talked, I noticed again that we tend to draw opposite conclusions from what we read and observe. He thinks the quiet, un-polled voters will go for Donald; I think they will go for Hillary.

He can see how Latino and females voters will probably vote for Hillary. I, on the other hand, still cannot see how so many male Evangelical Christian leaders can justify their essentially non-critical support of Donald.

So, I will be doing a live blog here as the results come in. Join me and we can cheer or groan together. My politically-opposite spouse and I will watch returns in different rooms of the house–and we will still be lovers and friends when it is over.

That is the only thing I know for sure.
