How climate scientists keep hope alive as damage worsens

That fall, Cobb made one last trip. It was during the elections. A big Hillary Clinton fan, Cobb was wearing a Madame President shirt when she heard the news that Donald Trump was elected. She said fell into a pit of despair that lasted maybe a couple months.

I would advise not hinging yourself so much on a politician that you are depressed for months when they don't win. Heck, most candidates don't wallow that long if they lose. If you reach that point, you probably need to take a major step back from politics.

Please, flip a coin and hope for the best...
