no more piss and vinegar here
This has taken the fight right out of me. For many years I've joked that 1976 should have taught me that my powers of political prognostication were imperfect ("Thank god we've seen the last of that clown," I said of Reagan after he failed to wrest the nomination from Ford in 1976), but obviously I didn't see this one coming—it's cold comfort to know that I had plenty of company. About the only element I got right was my prediction that Trump would not concede in the aftermath. Apart from that, I got nothin'.
