They ALWAYS hate the smartest guy in the room.
Or Woman... Hillary's "basket of deplorables" sounded so effete (like it does right now) that it supercharged the goobers just enough, along with Comey's knife-in-the-back, to make the difference.
I always thought Gore would have been a much better direction for America. And, that guy "Chad" tipped the election, whoever he was.
I'm glad he's still on it. I wish him well.
