...that when Hillary becomes our next president, she's not going to make most of us very happy because, in order to lead a country this divided, the president will have to find unsavory compromises or we all just sit here on our ass's waiting for the next Ted Cruz or Donald Trump or Jill Stein to come along.  Intractable zealotry and responsible governance do not mix.

...that not all remakes are golden geese but some can be if they are reimagined rather than remade.  On one hand, you have the 2016 versions of Ghostbusters, Ben Hur and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  One the other you have HBO's Westworld which is less a remake of the 1973 Yul Brenner film and more of a completely new thing.
