November 9th: Election is over, Clinton Wins, Dems take small Senate Majority and 10-20 House Seats

I think it is pretty clear that Trump is done. I don't think any republican could win this year without an effort to expand their base to a more diverse population. That said, that clearly did not happen. The big uncertainty is how many house and Senate seats the dems take over. I think odds are they take the Senate but don't take the House.

The question is, what next? How does Clinton Govern? What does Trump do after the election? It is likely that the election will be "rigged" and he will fuel those flames.

It just seems we are in a very bad place, even with what will be a win on election night. Thoughts?

VP James G. Stavridis?

It looks like he and Kaine are on the short list?

I think it might be Stavridis. Would totally undercut trump and his keep America safe bs. Plus Clinton worked with him as sec state.
