6. Lots of people here predicted the worst after Comey supposedly "reopened" it.

They had more foresight than me because I was still optimistic about the election.

Exit polls showed that 50% of Ohioans were bothered by Clinton's private email "a lot" and they overwhelmingly voted for Trump. Unbelievable.

I sometimes wonder if she would've done better if she had a long laundry list of questionable/bad behavior like Trump? Maybe she should have grabbed guys by the penis?

I'm kidding (sort of), but the damn media kept their crosshairs on an alleged email "scandal" while Trump moved from one outrageous behavior to another, none of them seeming to stick very long.
