It seems that what I meant by this was misunderstood. I'm not saying anyone won the presidential election. My reference to the Roman Empire has more to do with the breakdown of the execution of American ideals. Gone are the days of clear thinking and decisive voting. This will be the second presidential election in a row that will be decided by marginalities: lawyers and judges making the call. The electoral college is no longer useful. It is but another media circus. I voted. Everyone I've talked to has voted, but rather than finding a competent leader to stand for us all, we are bickering over minutia. I believe that our society is slowly disintegrating the foundations it was built upon. Great nations rise and fall. I believe ours is falling, slowly but surely.
