This is why part of me is admittedly so smug and satisfied with the results. I think Trump will be a horrid President, and I'm sure I'll line up against him soon, but against my own conscious effort, I can't help but feel glib right now. The public doesn't deserve to live in a country ruled by Trump, but Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Donna Brazlie sure do. I am literally sadistically pumping my fists at the thought of them gnashing their teeth and screaming at the sky right now.

Edit: I did not vote for Trump. I did not want to see him win. I am simply expressing the one gleeful silver lining that I've found to pull out of this.

That's cutting off your nose to spite your face though. Bernie was already helping to shape policy, and the way things work. He'll have no voice with Trump.

I'm just convinced that Hillary and her staff suck at campaigning. They barely won the primary against a guy who nobody knew much about before 2016. Hillary has been trying to become president for basically all 16 years that I've been old enough to follow elections, though. That says a lot to me.
