A national gut reaction has defied logic and given us President Trump
by David Horsey
Nobody knows nothin’.
All the supposedly smart people underestimated Donald Trump at every step of his campaign for president. On the morning of election day, most of the polls (with the notable exception of the L.A. Times poll) and most of the pundits who believed those polls were saying Hillary Clinton had several easy paths to the 270 electoral votes needed to become president. By the end of the day, all those paths proved to be illusive and all those experts looked like dopes.
...
That does not give me an especially cheery view of what the next four years hold in store, although the high-minded, conciliatory words in Trump’s late-night victory speech suggested there just might be a better Trump hiding inside the tiresome, bellowing bully who dominated the campaign. For the sake of our country, I hope this improbable president surprises us all.
