“A horrible election” i agree with bc trump won. In no way was this an evisceration. The dems on average have won by larger margins in the current millennium.

I think the evisceration narrative set in because counting hadn't finished and word spread that she was down by 15 million. And you know how people never follow up or wait for data to inform their take. Bernie was sprinting towards a mic like he was waiting for a starting gun to fire.

That plus Trump winning the popular at all certainly does feel like a gut punch.
