Looks like the Tortoise is about to beat the Hare.
Actually, it looks like the hare is beating the tortoise; it looks like this country is stupider than imaginable. You think he got to where he is with luck, you underestimated him and you clung to statistics that favored the candidate that you wanted to win.
Tortoise won, fair and square.
And yes, he got where he is with luck. And I did not underestimate him. I underestimated, as I said, the stupidity and hatred of the American public.
My takeaway was that that The Hare, who had many, many advantages, got overconfident and had a nap while The Tortoise kept powering on.
Seriously, you can go ahead and admire supposed powers of persuasion, and I will go ahead and be concerned about the fact that people voted an ignorant and incompetent hate-using authoritarian, wanna-be-totalitarian demagogue into the presidency, and never the twain shall meet.
30 years of political experience and still couldn't prove to the American people that she was better qualified to run the country than the host of Celebrity Apprentice. I'd say we dodged a bullet with that one.
