But the question is WHY. It’s not because of boring and sane liberals with all their facts and analysis and stuff. It’s because of conservatives who have lost any grip on liberty and Justice for all. Both sides don’t do bizarre and insane Chris.

Just a moment for a fantasy. Imagine Obama V Trump in 2016. I have every respect for Secretary Clinton, wish she had won. But?? Then again, I am now in a position of imagining My Phillies still in the playoffs.

Actually. SHE DID WIN. She didn’t lose to trump, she lost to the electoral college, which is a cancer.

Sorry for shouting My Dear.

If not for this ridiculous antiquated world exception, I can't help thinking of all the pain and suffering this nation could have avoided over the past NINE years!

But the Republicans would never allow it, since the majority-punishing Electoral College is their only hope. As Liz Cheney said in her book, quoting Gym Jordan - "all that matters is winning."
