Wikipedia wrote:Hail Mary pass
A Hail Mary pass is a very long forward pass in American football, made in desperation with only a small chance of success. In the Hail Mary pass all receivers run straight toward the endzone and the Quarterback will make a long pass that is often "up for grabs."
It looks like Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for President. Somehow this news reminded me of a "Hail Mary" pass. The word "desperation" seems appropriate in both cases. I have a feeling this will either save us ... or sink us.
