How will you be spending the evening? [View all]

Is anyone else too nervous to watch? I usually spend election night in front of the TV with a big bag of potato chips, but I keep getting flashbacks to 2016. I'm feeling good now, but I don't want to get my hopes up too much and then get a kick in the stomach.
