Probably the greatest game I’ve ever been to by @mnufc.com. Down 2 within 11 minutes. Pulling one back. Asinine red. Played our hearts out and took the lead. Lost the lead. Interminable penalties. And that it was their sub keeper who who had been such a chirpy ass who lost it for Seattle, so good.

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!
