The whole thing seemed rather pointless.
I saw a lot of fuss over abortion…which Donald Trump seems to mostly be mildly for, and it’s not an issue he seems interested in regardless.

Are there any issues they were marching for that weren’t bogeymen in their own heads?
That’s too bad. Now ask her how she feels about bakers having to make cakes for homosexual weddings.
Yeah, with the slugfest of the campaign and all of the celebrity deaths 2016 was in many ways a hard year, but there were some great things that happened as well. In no particular order, here are some of what I think are the highlights:
- Measles has been eliminated from the Americas
- Single dose treatment for Malaria developed
- Malaria has been eliminated in Sri Lanka
- Ebola has been eliminated from Liberia
- Ebola vaccine found to be 100% effective in trial
- Columbia has signed a peace deal with FARC
- Massive beach cleanup in Mumbai
- The U.S. is now a net Natural Gas exporter
- Maine passed rank voting

- Republicans were given their last, best chance to prove their vision for small government
- Britain voted to eliminate an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy

Internal Clinton emails confirm it, as I pointed out from the beginning.
Actually, lots of Republicans do.
And many Democrats do not, because then it’s much harder to use the issue as a wedge issue.
Hillary slurred several gold star families.
There’s no moral high ground between these two candidates.
