The problem for the Depsters is that they only know process, not outcomes. They have no clue where the country should go or else it would have gone that way. Instead, they cling to process and their role in moving the process forward. Therefore, when Trump steps in and says screw the process - we're going that away, well it disses the process queen's. It does them out of the job they have, their security blanket in adhering to the process come hell or high water.
They will argue that we couldn't have come to the wrong conclusion because we followed the process and the process is designed to determine the right outcome, fairly, impartially and with all due respect to diversity and social and environmental justice. What more could you want.
