Like it or not, we need to get used to hearing the phrase \u201cMadame President.\u201d Personally, I\u2019m fine with a woman as president. In fact, it will be the best thing about her election, just as the one thing that cheered me up about Mr. Obama\u2019s election was the fact that he\u2019s black. I just really, really, really didn\u2019t want THIS woman to be president. But the Republican Party decided to oppose the second most unpopular major-party presidential nominee in living memory with the MOST unpopular major-party nominee, thus virtually guaranteeing the return of Clinton Inc. to the White House.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you have the time, here\u2019s a cool, objective, and methodical analysis of Mr. Trump\u2019s prospects in the Electoral College:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bottom line: \u00a0They\u2019re not good.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether you love him or loathe him, Mr. Trump will\u00a0almost certainly\u00a0lose in November.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the meanwhile, if you want to read something that\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0quite\u00a0as\u00a0predictable as a Donald Trump loss, here\u2019s<\/a> a piece about the apparent anti-Semitism of the\u00a0anti-Mormon<\/a>\u00a0CEO of Mr. Trump\u2019s presidential campaign, the seemingly\u00a0rather unpleasant Stephen Bannon.<\/p>\n
