He was understandably concerned election night. Polls had her leading for months, and the exits did show she would win fairly easily. The kids were telling him things didn’t look so good.

Have to admit, I sat in front of the TV hopeful, but apprehensive at 7PM. Put a pot of coffee on at 9PM. At the start of the night, the only ray of hope I could find were results from some rural Indiana and Kentucky that had him winning 80/20. Enough to make one go hmmm in the face of exit polling.
