It is far too early to call the election. But as we here on the left look around, you mostly see shocked faces. How can this be? Surely Hillary was going to win tonight. This is all too close for comfort for any of us. Even in victory this must be a lesson to us all.

Any time time you are running a campaign shooting yourself in the foot by nominating a candidate with historically high DISAPPROVAL rates is a serious mistake. I think we mostly can agree here that this election was the democrat’s to loose. And by god did we try. From the get go many democrats were screaming the truth about her electability issues. These warning cries have been clearly validated.
This blindness for various ideological reasons may well have just given us President Trump. Think about this possibility next time you try and foist your political vision on the party as a whole despite OVERWHELMING polling evidence that your favorite nominee is an albatross on the party.
PS I am still hoping she pulls it off :(
