"AFTERSHOCK AFTERMATH"

 11/30/16 The News-Dispatch & 12/1/16  The Herald-Argus

Just as America has somewhat come to terms with the reality of a Trump victory, Hillary Clinton has joined long-shot third-party presidential candidate Jill Stein in her call for a recount of certain Midwestern swing states, believing there was some element of voter fraud.  I say the nation in general should move on from the nastiness of the election and try to work together as much as possible instead of reopening old wounds.  I will judge Donald Trump not on the basis of what he has said he will do, but by what he actually does (or doesn't do), because he has a tendency to back away from his proposals - including to "lock up" Clinton and completely dismantle Obamacare. In other words, he may not be as reckless as he has led us to believe.
