To Change or Not to Change. That is the question.

Forgive me for that, it's more precise to say: to make perceived enormous changes for the sake of change and out of fear, or to largely stay the course and go with incremental change, that is the question.

Personality (yes, an election is always significantly about who we perceive a candidate to be) and the question above, are what I see the election coming down to.

And I suspect that the appetite for change, strong as it is, will diminish between now and then, and that Trump's personality issues will continue to grow (a bit) and become even more of an issue.

I am not saying HRC and democrats have this in the bag. I'd never say that. Current polling favors her, but that isn't factored in to my (overly simple, I'm sure) equation.

1. Large turnout will favor Trump this cycle

This has become the most depressing election I've ever witnessed.

2. I'm finding it frightening.

Rough beasts slouching, dark falling and all that.

7. Depends if the center holds.

The center hasn't been holding, and everybody on the outer rim seems to be celebrating its lack of holding.

Both seem enamored of the their rough beast. The result may be like Venezuela, where every day the rough beast slouches and provides not lehem (bread) to each beth (house) but takes it away.
