I told you so. Those four words have been trapped in my mind ever since the news sources, one by one, declared Donald Trump the President-Elect.
Dear Secretary Clinton: Thank you. Thank you for your dignity, for your strength of character, for your compassion, for showing us that America has a place for all Americans. Thank you for showing us what it means to dedicate your life to public service, to serving children and families, to serving New York, to serving our country as Secretary of State. In this campaign, you showed us all what it means to be stronger together.
Your most important vote was not cast on November 8th. Even if every Democrat under the Princeton umbrella swapped to Trump, New Jersey state totals would not change by a single percentage point.
Wisconsin. Michigan. Pennsylvania. The three states that will forever be associated with stopping the first female nominee of a major party from breaking the glass ceiling.
Yesterday morning, Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama made public statementsregarding Donald Trump’s impending presidency. Yesterday, Hillary Clinton sold the rest of us down the river. Conceding and even promising to work with a Trump presidency flies in the face of what purported values Democrats claim to have.
I joke that Princeton gave us fall break so we could come home and fulfill our civic duties, but the stakes have never been higher in sunny Michigan, a traditionally Democratic-leaning state.
