I realize NCR, and most of its readers, are ultra-progressive 'never-Trumpers', but to attribute Clinton's loss to merely convergent circumstances, as the author does in the opening of his analysis, approaches malice. How could her personal history of hypocritical  'bimbo management’, the attempt to steal $200K of Whitehouse furnishings, the scandalous law-skirting behavior associated with her family’s charitable foundation, her criminally reckless abuse of national security information in her emails, her cooperation in the secret marginalization of her primary opponent - the list is formidable - how could all this be ignored? The only true quality she could run on was that she is a woman, which is typical of the Democrats who relentlessly slice and dice the electorate into race, class, and gender. It’s the US House which is representative, not the office of President. I think we should be on our knees thanking the Holy Spirit for saving us from this despicable person.
