Remember what I said about my inability to pick presidential elections? Well, there you go...
What I find fascinating now--and have for the past month--is the range of postmortems. How could this have happened? Indeed, even on the election morning it was widely presumed that Clinton would roll to victory. But then as the results came back, it first became clear that this would be closer than thought...and then the unthinkable became reality. While watching the results, my phone kept buzzing with Twitter alerts. Among them one friend, a Byzantine Catholic, sent at about 11 pm:
This is legit bananas.
Yeah, that pretty much covers it. 48 hours later, the shock still lingered. Trump visited the White House to start the transition process, and it was clear the staffers had not quite accepted the news.
