I accept that you think that. Saying things like "dead wrong", when it comes to opinions is not going to convince anyone who doesn't already agree with you. But let me say I disagree with you that "science" predicted this. I've no idea what kind of "science" you think you have- but if it's backwards looking it's just Monday morning quarterbacking. If it's looking forward, it could not have taken into account some of the surprise events- Comey! If it had not been for the FBI's rather awful interference in this election, you would have 4 to 8 years of Hillary to look forward to. Despite her faults- not being excitingly different enough- she had (I feel) the knowledge and temperament to handle crises, knowledge I fear is missing in the cabinet of CEO fossils. I admit thinking that Comrade Grab 'em by the pussy, I love Putin- Build a wall! was not a shoe in for the presidency. But I have often overestimated the intelligence of my fellow Americans. I'm going to try not to do that in future. I continue to feel that Russia's interference in our election was one of the biggest stories of this election. I'm sure there will be ramifications down the road, but I don't know what they'll be. I'm watching the EU try to learn from our mistakes. I hope they master the game better than we did. I agree with you about Obama. And this morning I got a chuckle out of the ethics office being the first target of the republicans. That's going to make a lovely first chapter in books which will be written about this regime change.
