On the evening of November 8th, there was an air of happy confidence throughout the Drive-By Media.
As the polls began to close it was obvious the stories were already written; the coverage had been mapped out in advance.
Media liberals were thrilled.
Their unrelenting pounding of Donald Trump was about to pay off.
Some establishment Republicans were also giddy.
The Never Trumpers, their hatred of the outsider would be vindicated, and even if it meant an election loss, their hold on the party would remain intact.
At 2:40 a.m. the morning of November 9th – it was all over.
The giddiness collapsed into waves of despondency, tears, gloom, and anger.
A year after that .. the fury still remained.
The rest of the country however, was celebrating.
Almost four years later ... we still are!
