Have to run out of the house early today, but I had to link to this piece from Politico, Clinton aides blame everyone but themselves. Listen, Trump was shocked he won. Michael Moore (and honestly, you and I) were horrified… but not “shocked.” Hopefully, the fact that this awful candidate (who’s the narcissist, Tim Kaine? who won’t listen?) has now lost to a Black man, a Jewish man (for whom she cheated to “win” by preempting the California primary) and now, she has done the ultimate– an inexperienced and unstable P.T.

I suppose I should measure anything I say quite carefully after that; I’m still exhausted, having run a marathon three days ago, and then spent over 13 hours on my feet yesterday at a polling place in Philadelphia yesterday, as part of a valiant, but clearly inadequate effort on the part of Hillary Clinton (who was mucking around in Arizona while not defending her flank in the old rust belt, thereby vindicating the analysis of Michael Moore, who predicted this, and in this way.)
