This is what I shared with an old Army buddy of mine (actually he was a Marine, but that's another story) when he alluded to the same thing:
"No, the next four years are not going to be good for either the saddened or the elated, one group because their hopes and dreams were dashed on Tuesday and the other because their hopes and dreams never had a chance of being realized because they were NOT based on the possible nor the practical, only the expedient."
