We have been so spoiled up to now, with mild temps.

Today & yesterday in mid-70's, in SW Ohio - in mid-November, for goodness sake . Sunny too.
It's hard to contemplate that the temps may get to the teens tomorrow night.

Trump's supporters are more like a Fan Club than discerning voters.

Yep, I'm inclined to go along with the "stupid" label, though many Trumpsters are willingly ignorant, i.e., ignorant by choice, i.e., intellectually lazy.

It's more likely that a Dem Senator could or would switch to the Repub side.

I'm thinking Sen. Joe Manchin of WV., who will also be up for re-election in 2018, in a state that was never in doubt to go Repub. in the national election in 2016.
I'm hoping Manchin doesn't switch, but it has been put out there in the media as a possibility.

Good one. - Jeb Low Energy!

Carson says he doesn't want to run a Cabinet Dept., which is just as well. - Maybe we all have avoided a mess there.

Not necessarily "lost his job." More like

"He was removed from his position."

Funny part - The vet had his service dog with him; the dog's name is "Barack". The Trump-guy didn't like that.

I understand that Cheney's daughter won election as a Congressperson

from their home state (Wyoming?).
So old Dick will have a place to hang out and act as advisor (and troublemaker) right there in D.C.

Re protesting in NYC, in front of Trump Tower -

I keep thinking those who own condos in that property will see their values sink.
Who would want to buy into a property that, despite heavy police and Secret Service protection, will always be a potential site for terrorists and even just harassing and vandalizing?
I think I read that Keigh Olbermann got out (sold) a property there not long ago.
I do feel a little sorry for retail merchants in the area, as their sales will likely be affected downward during this busiest of seasons for sales.
