They don’t want to look as stupid as they did in 2016.
They look exactly as stupid.
I'll never forget election night 2016. I wasn't watching returns till my daughter called about 8 p.m. Pacific time laughing like crazy. "Turn on the election returns, mom. So I did. Every newsroom was filled with idiots looking bewildered, devastated, crestfallen, suicidal. Funniest election night ever.
Hopefully this one will be just as laughable.
That train has long left the station...
