If HE wins, I suspect a bunch of them are off to Canada. If SHE wins, I surmise that a different bunch of them are off to ... Russia, I'm guessing ('cause of the Putin connection -- I just assume Trumpland will be built up in the annexed Crimea).

Because being helpful is in my nature, see the links below to assist you with your moving plans.
