Some of us have been right enough, frequently enough, that we become obnoxiously smug and admit it. Some of us, even among the above, can also admit we’ve been wrong at times. Really wrong. Many of us laughed when Donald Trump came down the escalator, which was just the dumbest single way a person can enter a race. Laughed out loud, not just “LOL,” and never thought for a minute that the GOP would allow him to win, even if voters liked him.

Never. The money behind the GOP would “ensure” he didn’t win, somehow.

And then when he did win the nomination, we figured the GOP just handed the election to Hillary. This was especially true after the Access Hollywood tapes came out. The GOP talked about dumping him and running Pence. Two days later, in a debate, Trump said the lines, “because you’d be in jail.” The GOP never talked about replacing him again.

Every poll showed Clinton to be 2-3 points safely ahead. Some of us never worried. Clinton did “win” by 2-3 percentage points. She just lost in some critical areas in critical states.

Strangely, though, Hillary knew she could lose and as she campaigned, she predicted what a Trump presidency would be like, entirely incompetent, mean, Russian involvement, all of it. All her predictions came true.

Some of us doubt that Trump will actually run in 2024 because he’d fear losing so badly that it’d keep him out. And yet the Republicans have done a remarkable job fixing it such that it could be almost impossible for Trump to lose (Thanks Manchin and Sinema!). We still have our doubts. But while we’ve been wrong about Trump at every turn, Hillary has been right and now…

Yep. She has always been right and that scares the living fck out of us.
