Moderation note:  Because of the large number of comments on the Politics/Presidential threads, I will be deleting any comments that have a stand alone link to a graphic or a video.  If you have a video a graphic that you think people would be interested in, please provide a 1-2 sentence description of the link, then precede the link on a separate line with a character, e.g.
‘x http://www.abc.com’
