G.L. Weil in his op-ed on the presidential election on Nov. 12 “Choosing change over competence” did not address the primary reason Hillary lost.
Weil placed that blame on everything from James Comey and the FBI to the electoral college. By describing the President-elect as a “morally deficient man,” Weil showed his contempt for the American voters.
In a famous quote President Lincoln exclaimed “… you can’t fool all the people all the time,” yes, Mr. Weil you can’t, and neither could Mrs. Clinton.
The American voter did, in fact, choose change “AND” competence. Sir, you’re just to narrow minded and biased to see it.
