re: #842 palomino

I still find it astonishing he got elected given all these factors. It’s a real testament to how much America has changed for the better.

His election would not have been possible a generation ago. A generation from now, though, the election of someone like him will be more likely and probably far less controversial. The demographic trends just don’t lie.

And a testament to how much people were hating all things Republican — how crappy things were looking and how desperately we wanted to be rid of the team that got us to that point.

Remember the next day’s Onion?
