She wins NC & it's over by 11 PM EST Election Night. Let us hope.

 

Man, they must have a huge budget for paying crowd fillers. Need to get me one of those gigs next time she’s in Atlanta.

Same. ... Those were the college days when record stores reopened at midnight on Monday night/Tuesday morning for new releases. A group of us from the school paper post-production went to Cheapo Records in St. Paul to get AFTP. The only single out was "Drive" (which is great). My girlfriend (now wife) and I went back to my place, laid in bed and just listened to it. Are there two better album closers in pop history than "Nightswimming" and "Find the River"?

Interesting scenario, but I really don't think a post-Trump GOP has a place for the Kinzingers of the world. If Trump had lost in 2016, yeah, and maybe if he'd been crushed in 2020, but anti-Trump Republicans have fled the party and they've been replaced by the people making cat jokes. The 2028 nominee will be as batshit crazy as Trump, not a Romney/McCain clone.
