Election Aftermath, Pt 2

I stated last week that I would wait until at least this week before publishing my thoughts on the recent presidential election, if ever. Part of that was my recognition that any writing done in the immediate aftermath would likely be tainted by the heat of the moment, and part of it was my doubt about whether I should even write at all. With time and introspection, I’ve decided that there are, in fact, two things that I want to write about, so this week I’m publishing a pair of election-related posts for your reading consideration. Today’s writing piece is centered on Hillary Clinton. I already did a writing piece on Donald Trump earlier this year, so I believe I’m overdue to write something related to her. Specifically, I though I’d do a short writing piece about how improbable her loss should have been and what that says about her as a political candidate.

Today’s writing piece is merely my experience from Wednesday, November 9, 2016.
