Everyone thought that Mrs. Clinton was going to win, even after the DNC emails were leaked to the public.



What's interesting about all of this is how really wrong the media was about who was going to win. 

This suggests that, although the media can inspire frenzy when it chooses to, and can also suppress the knowledge of horrific scandals when it chooses to, scandals that would have had people calling for American politicians such as everyone in the Obama administration to be executed, there are a lot of people who distrust and hate the media, and whom the media does not recognize.

I don't have a grudge against the Clintons.  I try not to have a grudge against anyone.  

I don't know why President Trump insists on using unkind nicknames for some of his political opponents.  I don't do that very often.  What I was thinking about over the past few days was how many previous Presidents have had extramarital affairs, and how strange it is to see young, female reporters on television talking about President Trump as if Bill Clinton hadn't had several affairs before being elected for his first term.  Both of the Clintons are intelligent people, but Mr. Clinton was a womanizer and there's no way around that.  

Nobody needed to interfere in the election, so it's ironic that there were people who did.  Should there be consequences for them?  I think so.  

What should those consequences be?
don't know.  I'm biased, because Mrs. Clinton was the media darling and also would have had the entertainment industry trooping through the White House.  It would have hurt a lot of people if she had won.
