Did I count "could" 38 times in this article? Trump does represent change with many unknowns and uncertainty, as opposed to Clinton who stood for keeping the status-quo corporate power structure in place, with it's widening insulation from the working middle-class that has been under siege for years.

I liked the positive upbeat tone, especially coming from a woman, because most of the women I've talked to feel persecuted from what they mistakenly view as the "white male backlash", when the problem is that the Democratic party had abandoned the working class, and instead focused on gender and racial politics.

Ms. Downey has a great post-election attitude, that should inspire everyone to work towards finding and fixing the problems that this country faces. The alternative would be rather unpleasant.

Thank you, Ms. Downey.
