Even a landslide won’t be enough

You can feel the huge regret that he isn’t given the opportunity to “mock” her the way he really wants to. Poor, poor Villager.
And, by the way, the idea that she would have been beaten by the rest of the clown car is dubious to say the least. After all, that deep bench of awesome political talent couldn’t even beat an incoherent orange demagogue.
But gird yourselves. The right is preparing a “rigged” rationale to explain her win. (It’s impossible that the old bag could have won otherwise, amirite?) Certain members of the left will insist that she only won because Republicans saw through her pandering and recognized that she had no intention of even trying to govern with the platform on which she ran. (These fears are not proving to be true, at least not yet.) The Village will run with this unsupported view that anyone but Trump would have beaten her easily.
Anyway, I’ll let Krugman have the last word on this nonsense.
