srael Radio called last Tuesday night to ask if they could interview me the next morning on the impact of the election results. I duly prepared a few talking points listing my concerns with aClintonpresidency. It never occurred to me that Donald Trump would be the next president. As a lifelong Cubs fan however I should have known that if the Cubs could win the World Series Donald Trump could be president. Herewith some losers besides Hillary Clinton this election cycle.
First and foremost the Obama legacy. Americans are okay with the idea of Barack Obama. But they don’t much care for his policies or pay much attention to what he says. He and Michelle campaigned in three states for Hillary in the campaign’s final days. She lost all three. He told the Black Congressional Congress that he would consider it a personal insult if blacks turned out in lower numbers than in 2012. Black turnout was way down.
When Obama came into office Democrats controlled both houses of Congress 29 governorships and 27 state legislatures. Today they control neither house of Congress and only 16 governorships and 12 state legislatures.
The Clinton Foundation which is now left without any access to sell to foreign governments or billionaires. Not such a problem for Hill and Bill who have salted away in excess of $100 million since leaving the White House but what about all those Clinton family retainers soon to be without jobs?
