After all the weeks and months and, yes, years that the 2016 presidential campaign consumed, the climax was surprisingly abrupt. Politics makes strange bedfellows.

If I had written this piece a few days ago, instead of at 7 p.m. on this Sunday night before the presidential election, my headline would have read, “Trump Will Win.” Because until a few days ago, it seemed as if Hillary Clinton was bleeding votes. FBI Director James Comey’s startling announcement on Oct. 28…

Something raw and unpolished is loose in the land. More than anger, it is emanating from a precinct seldom examined by the pollsters and the press.
