Maybe even people you work with have been railing against Crooked Hillary Clinton or figuring out where in Canada they can resettle should Donald Trump emerge victorious.

The few ads paid for by Trump supporters bash Clinton rather than make the case for him. In April, she led by ten points.
Still, for Clinton, there was some good news in the poll: almost two-thirds of Americans think she will win the election.
Finally, and most importantly, is the sharp contrast between the candidates themselves.
Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party and Jill Stein of the Green Party have no chance to win the election, but they could have a strong influence.
And in Virginia, Clinton gets 41 percent, Trump 34 percent, Johnson 10 percent, and Stein 2 percent.
“You never want to be in the position of being outshouted by your opponent”, said Russ Schriefer, a senior adviser to Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential race. Republicans are expected to formally nominate Trump during their four-day gathering next week in Cleveland.
Edgard Lopez, a 61-year-old Democrat from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, who runs a medical device company, said the email investigation was simply an attempt by the GOP to divert “the attention of the important matters for this country”.
The 30-second spot is a continuation of several ads that have sought to contrast Clinton’s global experience with Trump’s comments about limiting America’s involvement overseas.
The ideological divide between Trump and Clinton supporters is set against a backdrop of increasing violence and discrimination against Muslims in the United States.
Bernie Sanders alone is better liked than disliked among millennial voters, with 54 percent calling him favorable.
The numbers suggest that she retains an edge in the race despite her most recent struggles to move past her email controversy. That voters under age 30 tend to lean Democratic isn’t a shock – the group hasn’t backed a Republican for president since 1988, according to network exit polls – but their turnout and strength of support for the Democrat can sway the outcome.
Clinton also held a narrow edge among white college graduates, 42% to 40%. 63% of registered voters say they will watch at least some of the convention, though some of those claim they will only watch Trump’s acceptance speech.
OH voters questioned over the past week expressed disenchantment about their current status, with majorities saying they were “falling further and further behind economically”, that “the old ways don’t work and it’s time for radical change” and that “public officials ‘don’t care much what people like me think'”.
Eighty-one percent of Americans say they would feel afraid following the election of one of the two polarizing politicians, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll.
Foes say they believe the movement is essentially finished. “More promisingly for her, three-quarters say Mrs. Clinton stands for the core values and principles of the Democratic Party”.
