This Is It! Election Day 2016: A historic moment arrives
A little too much of the phony moral equivalence, but . . . .
Americans are casting their verdicts on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Tuesday after an exhausting, acrimonious campaign that at times revolted the nation and tore at its fabric.
History will be made no matter how the vote turns out. Clinton would become the first woman to win the presidency in the 240-year history of the United States.
A Trump triumph would represent a massive repudiation of the Washington establishment not seen in generations.
Both candidates argue the election presents an unusually significant choice for a divided nation. Democrats warn that Trump, with his rhetoric on race, gender and immigration, would represent a rejection of core American values.
Trump insists his outsider campaign represents America's last chance to drive out a corrupt political establishment that has turned its back on blue-collar workers.
Somebody rang my doorbell this morning at just after 7.
When I went to the door a bit later (I was still asleep) I found no one and no indication what it had been about.
No political flyers, for example.
Odd start to the day.
