Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, more people voted for her than for
Trump. She did lose the electoral college count. We had feared the effects
of the Sanders attacks on her: that did materialize. He had energized young
voters who then simply sat out the election and stayed home, or voted either
Green or Libertarian: Trump is the antithesis of those values and they must
see the light this morning. African-Americans, not known for civic
tendencies, also stayed home in droves Over forty years, I have seen the
economy destroyed by mindless tax cuts awarded to the rich friends of two
Republican presidents. Clinton and Obama led us to lofty recoveries on both
occasions. The Dow was at 7000 when Bush departed: Obama departs at
18,000. He also halved the unemployment rate, from ten to five percent.
