    …in a landslide.

    Actually, for me, it was shockingly close. How could an absolute fraud like the Independent have gotten so many votes? How could there be so many people in a huge city like that could make such a terrible decision, seemingly based on making a string of prior, terrible conclusions?

      I’d say it’s one of the most hope inspiring things I’ve seen, personally — given the propaganda roulette we’re faced with in the MSM.
