Moving on...

1. I know nothing.

2. The majority of the electorate has chosen based on different criteria than the minority. A perceived difference in "values" got priority over specific issues and performance. So succinct and effective articulation of values is the order of the day. As is responsibility for performance.

3. The majority of the electorate needs to be held responsible for its choice when it comes to favoring "values" over performance, as we all will be directly effected by the consequences of performance. These are the lives, the dollars, the jobs, the quality of health that will be quantified over the next four years. When they choose to elect someone based on intangible grounds, we must hold them responsible for the tangibles.

4. Be succinct, damn it. Make your memes stick. Help reframe the debate:
