Thanks, Mellis. A thoughtful counterpoint to all the "a plague on both your houses" comments here and elsewhere. I have plenty of worries about Trump's reboot (almost all concerning his foreign policy moves), but you're right. We dodged a bullet ... but only by the margin that the president did on that grim day last July in Butler, PA.

However, to adapt what an IRA member said to Margaret Thatcher after a failed attempt to kill her: "You were lucky. But you have to be lucky every time. We only have to be lucky once."
