It was a famous victory, but even more than that, it was a famous defeat. Hillary Clinton, who seemed to have it all sewn up, lost emphatically. The post-mortems will be many, but here are two reasons why I would never have voted for her.
First of all, those emails. Yes, we are all sick of hearing about them. Yes, she is not to be investigated for any criminal offence, but she has been branded as “careless” by the FBI, in allowing classified information to be transmitted by public server. That constitutes a rap over the knuckles. But if it had been you or me endangering the security of classified information, then you can be sure that we would have been hung out to dry, would have lost our jobs, and would have been professionally ruined. You see, it is one law for the elite, and another for the rest of us. And that drives ordinary people crazy.
