Hillary has already won the presidency -:)








How can I make such a bold assertion before she has even received the nomination? Because I already did, several months ago, when it was harder, before a single primary or caucus vote had been cast. And yes, I got the Trump part right too.

The air was dense back before Iowa with tales of Jeb, and Rubio and all the rest at the adult and children’s tables. Trump would never be the nominee. A colleague had to literally eat his column predicting that Trump would never win the nomination. It just couldn’t happen. Until it did. (I did predict Trump would win Iowa, which he didn’t, but ‘close enough’ applies in horseshoes and hand grenades and primary seasons). I correctly predicted the craven capitulation of the Republican party.

And now with the polls ‘tightening’ like your clenching teeth (or whatever), speculation is everywhere that Trump will win the election too. He won’t. He is going to lose, and lose badly.
