I’m going to gloat for a bit, about three things I have no right to gloat about. No right because I didn’t have a vote. No right because I’m not a (capital D) Democrat. No right because all I could do was watch it unfold, helpless to help, although I really wanted to.

I’m still going to gloat though (and you know what the begrudgers can do). There are three reasons. First, I won my bet. Second, a bad man is gone. Third, a decent man will take over.
