I’ve been following the results of my poll, and they have been predictable. As of today, here’s how you feel:

  • About 16% of you feel you can offer some level of support to the candidate you didn’t vote for.
  • About 21% show a middle-of-the-road level of uncertainty.
  • Over 60% of you will provide no level of support for the President you didn’t vote for, with most of you vowing to actively oppose nearly everything he/she tries to implement.

What does that say for our country? Are we divided, or what?

I will never support the unqualified orange maniac. Thankfully I won't have to since he will lose badly.

There are 3 candidates I could support if they won, some I like better than others, but all 3 of them would be OK. Not perfect, but OK. The other one... no way. The other one is a danger to all Americans.

Absolutely, 100%.

However, that could and would change if he does something truly stupid and uninformed, of which there is a 100% chance of happening within the first month, I reserve the right to not support the dude.

But I would give him a chance to renege on every campaign promise, much to my delight.

There is no question that the American people are "divided" and it's no accident that it happened.
Identity Politics has become the "New Normal". We can see that it is a failure.

I've been voting since Nixon (before they lowered the voting age) - this is the most Divisive and UGLY election season I've ever seen. I don't see any 'hope' of recovery for what the Left has put in place -- and they DID put this in place.
Divide and Conquer worked for a while - BUT people are FED-UP with the results. I don't think that genie can be stuffed back into the bottle.

I larger concern is the erosion of Law & Order and our Justice System. The Media is a Total Failure.
We are certainly at a Tipping Point.
