34. That night will always go down as one of the worst in my life...

I was stunned for days. The thought that she could lose was never even something I even thought about. It was inconceivable.

2024 was nowhere near as devestating. I understood that even a perfect candidate as good as Clinton didn’t guarantee a win. And when you add the chaos of belatedly abandoning Biden and giving Harris a very short runway, I was resigned early on.

2024 was lost when it took until Nov, 2022 to appoint a Special Prosecutor. Smith just ran out of time. Trump was always going to frustrate the process with numerous appeals and trying to lure SCOTUS into the mix. Six more months could have done wonders for Smith’s endeavor to keep Trump out of office again.

2024 was bad; 2016 was stratospherically catostrophic.
