Compassion

The temptation to gloat is strong: How many years has it been rubbed in our faces when our guy lost?

Let's not.

To those disappointed, sorry, we know how you feel. Lots of us felt that way a few months ago when Trump won the Republican nomination and 4 years before that too. We know how you feel because we've been there too.

I voted for Johnson, so I expected to be disappointed no matter what. Hillary would have caused more pain than Trump, but not by much.

So, to those in pain. Try not to lash-out. Somebody had to lose, lots of good (yes, even people you don't agree with are good) people were bound to feel despondent on Wed. It happens to be you, it could have been them. Those feelings are valid, no matter which side is on the losing side.

We are all fellow Americans. We fight hard over real issues, but let's not forget that at the end of the day, we are partners in this nation.
