Frustrating

As readers of this blog know, I found this current election very frustrating. First, had Clinton won narrowly with implications of Russian hackers providing help, the entire Republican establishment would be up in arms over it. But because a Republican did it, it's okay.

Second, this article, entitled Why Obamacare enrollees voted for Trump, also drives me nuts. Beneficiaries of Obamacare are convinced, or have convinced themselves, that Trump and the Republicans won't do what they say they will and take their benefits away. They're also convinced that, unlike themselves, "undeserving poor" are getting freebies that they aren't.

Having said all of this, all I can do is point out the truth.

Note the date on this article (http://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2016/10/this-is-your-occasional-reminder-that-the-electoral-college-is-an-anachronistic-piece-of-18th-century-legal-ordnance-lying-around-waiting-to-detonate-unexpectedly) about the Electoral College. Searching that site, you'll find a lot of pre-election griping about the Electoral College.
