Absorbing the Impossible


Maureen Dowd NOV. 9, 2016

I sat watching in astonishment. The one who couldn’t bear to show up to concede was not, as expected, Donald Trump, but Hillary Clinton.

I thought the hard-core support for Trump had dwindled down to a hardy band of loyalists: Rudy, Newt, Chris, Sarah, Kellyanne, Omarosa, the kids, Melania — the woman who told him “If you run, you’ll win” — Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Matt Drudge, Ann Coulter, Jeff Sessions, Corey Lewandowski, Steve Bannon, Hope Hicks, David Bossie, Alex Jones, Bill Mitchell, Mike Pence and my brother, Kevin.

The Republican establishment couldn’t stand Trump. The Democratic establishment mocked him. The Republican nominee didn’t even really seem to have much of a campaign. He spent more on “Make America Great” hats than on polling. When I visited his campaign headquarters this summer, there were more pictures, paintings and cardboard cutouts of Trump around than Trump advisers. If you don’t count Newt Gingrich — and I don’t — only one major political historian, Allan Lichtman, had predicted that Trump would win.

Maureen Dowd:
"Absorbing the Impossible"

No, Maureen, that ain't it.

The problem is your leftist vision which relegates any concept that displeases or offends you to the realm of the impossible.

You couldn't see what was coming not because it wasn't there to be seen, but because you refused to look.

Here's a tip for ya:
Fishrrman's credo:
Reality is what it is. It is not what we believe it to be.

Got that, Maureen?
