Congratulations to the winners! Let's all try to support them in the difficult work of governing us. It will be tough. This country is more divided politically, economically, and socially than at any time in my memory. The major political parties are too busy trying to trash each other and win elections rather than do anything good for the country and the citizens that need their leadership. The minor political parties are so out on the fringe as to be frightening. I'm sad that the mantra for Americans seems to be "what's in it for me" rather than "what's in it for us."

Nevertheless, let's try to come together and be whole again. Let's stop treating elections as if they were sporting events where winning is all that matters, which clearly they are not. Let's stop treating those running for office as if they were scum and criminals, which clearly they are not. Let's be tolerant of each other, work to continue the prosperity that we currently experience, and do good things for all Americans!
