75. Ever notice how many election losers are neither seen nor heard from again?
Thu Aug 11, 2022, 11:18 AM
Aug 2022

In fact, i can picture quite a few -- the witch woman and the pizza guy come to mind-- but I can't remember their names. Yet some, like Stacy Abrams, Hillary Clinton, and Beto, who lost an election, regroup and come back stronger. They and others like them weren't running to win an election, but to win for a cause, and the cause stays, just like Clinton, Abrams, and Beto stay. These leaders will never be losers or quitters; they just become stronger and more influential. Hecklers and media don't dislodge them any more than bad weather. (Why shouldn't kids watch them?)
